Boehner just told them that if they came ‘‘to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. The door is behind you.’’

And Bachmann leads with this - nice start to the 113th Congress. If you are still listing to CSPAN - it's already getting contentious on fhe floor of the House.

She outspent her opponent in November 10:1, and barely won in an extremely gerrymandered district. If she had run in the same district she won in 2010, she would have lost.

She needs to raise another $20 million and has only 2 years to do it. Most of her contributions come from out of state and are in response to negative media coverage of her idiocy.

She is stupid and crazy like a fox.

What would she do without a husband?

Maybe her bill would have an exception if you're a closeted repig.

They truly learned NOTHING from their drubbing on 11/6. Will defunding Planned Parenthood and transvaginal ultrasounds be far behind?

I am glad I still have some chocolate mint Baileys left over from New Years. Something tells me that I am going to need it.
