In reply to the discussion: Rep. Michele Bachmann Completely Baffles John Brennan With Bizarre Questions During CIA Hearing [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)32. How did Michelle Bachmann get on that committee?
She appears to be a walking-talking national security risk.
Wouldn't you think that she would have more common sense than to ask her questions in the way she does?
Something makes me think she is asking these questions more to show off her superior knowledge about things she believes are true than to really oversee our intelligence agencies.
It's not that I like drone strikes or that I think that information about Iran should be completely off the record, but she has this suspicious, accusatory manner when she asks questions that could be very misleading to someone who does not understand our body language or the subtleties of our language. This woman's questions could start a war all by themselves. Why is she in Congress?
