Oh, Jesus M.B.! Get Lost Already

Out on a limb here, but we're guessing (we certainly hope) that POLITICO doesn't spend too much of its precious time calling cop shops & asking which reactionary religious drooler (This time it's Minnesota Madwoman Michele Bachmann, from & about whom this web log has heard just about enough over the last few yrs.) has asked for protection because some schmuck on the other side of the world issued a big fat fatwah on the iNternet last wk. or something.

Therefore just maybe possibly the information that Michele Bachmann was under the wing of the Capitol Police, as offered by "multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the situation" is either bullshit or offered by can you imagine someone w/ an axe to grind. As POLITICO types,

Officials declined to outline the specific nature of the threat.

Bachmann’s office referred news media inquiries to Capitol Police. A Capitol Police spokeswoman declined to comment.

“The U.S. Capitol Police does not discuss law enforcement operations or security regarding Members of Congress,” spokeswoman Kimberly Schneider wrote in an email.

Who, then, could these unnamed officials familiar w/ the situation who so cheerfully volunteered the operation be if the Capitol Police don't talk? Thin blue line my ass.

Perhaps Representative (But of what, exactly?) Bachmann should just knock off early, go home & huddle w/ her legal eagles in preparation for her potentially, possibly alleged indictment & trial for campaign finance irregularities, rather than drawing further attention to herself in a sad attempt to poison the jury pool.What is she so scared of, anyway? Isn't Jesus coming to get her? And wouldn't he be better protection than the loudmouths of the Capitol Police?
