82. There's a pic of Bachmann smoking a cigar going around. I thought it was kind of funny

Sun Dec 14, 2014, 01:26 PM

Dec 2014

she'd allow that. I suppose it could be an event where the guys were smoking cigars and she indulged never intending someone to bust her with their phone. Still, with her politics, I'm surprised she allowed anyone to see her smoking.

She looks like she knows what she's doing too. Not like some girl gagging on her first cigar. That makes me think she might be a regular cigarette smoker, she kind of has that look. Now that's something she would have hidden, especially with her religous fans and all. It's not unusual for closet cigarette smokers to feel comfortable having a cigar in public and claim it's just the occasional one for fun.

I also wouldn't be surprised if almost everything about her politically was just a big show. She might not really care about any of the teabagger social issues. Considering her husband, I've suspected that all along.

Yep. Absolutely no reason to criticize Obama unless you're Michele Bachmann. beerandjesus Dec 2014 #14

Perhaps, but don't change the subject. If you criticize Obama on DU, you're Michele Bachmann. beerandjesus Dec 2014 #37

No, it's just that *much* of the self-described "criticism" of Obama here True Blue Door Dec 2014 #39

Oh, you couldn't be more right. Michele Bachmann would *love* hearing Obama called a Republican. beerandjesus Dec 2014 #43

She would love any statement about Obama inflected with hate. True Blue Door Dec 2014 #45
