Michele Bachmann Getting In On Some of That Bus Tour Action

by Lauri Apple  

Bus full of paranoiaOH NO WATCH OUT MICHELE BACHMANN THERE’S A BUS BEHIND YOU! Oh, LOLZ, just kidding — that beautiful luxury coach in the back is the Minnesota Congresslady’s own special tour bus to ride around her district in, shaking her moneymaker to replenish the ol’ campaign coffers. She liked the Sarah Palin and Tea Party buses, and heard about Joe Wilson’s new bus full of jobs, and just had to get a ride of her own. Bachmann’s new ride has personalized features, such as windows made out of a special kind of glass to deflect Nancy Pelosi death stares and anti-U2 Boat reinforcements. Oh looky she’s TWEETING PICS FROM THE ROAD.

On her official “Bachmann for Congress Bus Tour,” Our Lady of McCarthyism is “speaking with small business owners and concerned regarding the current struggles facing the American economy.” Hey, that agenda sounds familiar! Here she is holding a cupcake with some sugar fairies and a Twins fan:

“Honey, is that a Vogue magazine on wheels?” says the husband to his wife, in the passenger seat. “No, Chester, that’s our glorious Congressional representative on her bus tour”:

Bachmann visits a Slinky factory:

Here’s the full tour agenda, courtesy of Minnesota Public Radio. Rumor has it that at some stops she will cure commoners of their liberal tendencies (and leprosy, if anyone has it). Oh, and be sure to text “VICTORY” to get special secret missives from Bachmann herself (Examples: “I see the U2 Boats coming. Gonna hide inside my tour bus freezer full of TAB now”).

Here’s hoping Michele slinkies back to her cave after getting a big loser in November.

Gratuitous World August 25, 2010 at 1:41 pm

I see a detour for a Vikings’ boat party in her near future. “Ass to ass!”

Jumping Jim August 25, 2010 at 1:44 pm

Is it me or does Brian Williams look like he needs to lose some weight?

Autochthon August 25, 2010 at 1:46 pm

I wonder if it ever occurs to these grousing conservatives to wonder just how their “concerned,” right-wing Congressfolk can afford all these luxury buses?

Katydid August 25, 2010 at 1:46 pm

Slightly O/T, The Onion did a “news” video with a tease at the end that said, “Michele Bachmann To Star in Congress Spinoff.”

Katydid August 25, 2010 at 1:50 pm

While she was playing with the slinky, Michele was overheard saying, “Mmm, my diaphragm doesn’t stretch like this.”

Oblios Cap August 25, 2010 at 1:51 pm

She’s definitely a candidate for some doggy-style in-out in-out, if you know what I mean.

And I know you do.

The Michele Bachmann Glamour Shot® on the back of the bus represents the entirety of her campaign’s minority outreach efforts.

weejee August 25, 2010 at 1:56 pm

Lauri, btw Michele has about as much in common with Jack Kerouac as Bevis and Butthead have to do with James Joyce.

Elephants Gerald August 25, 2010 at 1:56 pm

Bleeeech! How about some hairnets in the kitchen, you morans! Hairy cupcakes are not to everyone’s liking.

Well, literal hairy cupcakes aren’t.

Baldar T Flagass August 25, 2010 at 1:57 pm

I just hope that Mr. Bachmann doesn’t hear about Michele’s naughty exploits on the bus. In a fit of pique, he might fall in with a fast crowd and get seduced by a girl who works at the Jack-In-The-Box, named Lucille, who will give him an unpronounceable disease…

JMP August 25, 2010 at 1:59 pm

It’s nice they put the giant warning image of Michelle’s crazy-eyed face on the bus, to warn Minnesotans to stay away if they valued their sanity.

Oblios Cap August 25, 2010 at 1:59 pm

Does the bus have BusNutz? Maybe it could use some FreshBalls.

Ren McCormack August 25, 2010 at 1:59 pm

I have a Williams-esque gut (for the moment-P90X!!!) but I can still makage to pull it back a little for important job-related pictures. Lazy-ass libruls and their foie gras stuffed bellies make me sick.

Baldar T Flagass August 25, 2010 at 2:02 pm

[re=645382]Baldar T Flagass[/re]: Sorry, might have pegged the obscurometer there.

S.Luggo August 25, 2010 at 2:03 pm

Michele doesn’t realize that if you let go of one end, the Slinky will return to its original shape. “Do I pull or do I push?”

Extemporanus August 25, 2010 at 2:05 pm

[re=645353]Gratuitous World[/re]: Oh goodie! Can I wear the double-sided dildo?

Sharkey August 25, 2010 at 2:05 pm

What makes mean stares, alone or in pairs, and makes a squishity sound?
A snatch, a snatch, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it’s Stinky.
It’s Stinky, it’s Stinky. For fun it’s Michele Bachmann’s toy.
It’s Stinky, it’s Stinky. It’s fun for a girl or a boy.
It’s fun for a girl or a boy.

Is that by any chance Mr. Bachmann in the Twins shirt? He’s seen both posing with cupcakes and with Michele trying to figure out how to work a slinky, so I’m just wondering.

Also, please tell me those cupcakes are not for human consumption. To paraphrase the French artist BEN, “Ces colours n’existaient pas pendent le temps de Giotto.”

Extemporanus August 25, 2010 at 2:18 pm

[re=645384]JMP[/re]: This must’ve been what the super popular in Minneapolis, 90s-era alternative band Soul Coughing was hinting at in their cryptic hit song “Bus to Beelzebub”.

“Your words burn the air like the names of candy bars,” indeed.

Barrelhse August 25, 2010 at 2:24 pm

Jesus, couldn’t they even apply the sign graphics properly?

slappypaddy August 25, 2010 at 2:26 pm

her smile is always a grimace, loosed in savory contemplation of the pain she desires to inflict on all who are unlike and in opposition to her. the nevada angler has an identical smile. behind their political masks are gorgons’ heads.

Aurelio August 25, 2010 at 2:29 pm

I like her new skank stripes. They make her look less like Lord/Lady Voldemort.

4tehlulz August 25, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Michele Bachmann (R-Bangbus)

just pixels August 25, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Nice photo of her in the bakery with those two lesbians plus the woman in the orange shirt.

Pretty cool to have Twins shirt man(?) around that sweet, sweet temptation, plus Michele Bachmann.

Aurelio August 25, 2010 at 2:36 pm

[re=645423]just pixels[/re]: Now imagine them in a 4-way.

moldilox August 25, 2010 at 2:42 pm

the slinky is more entertaining when you kick it down a flight of stairs, but much less satifying, also….

lawrenceofthedesert August 25, 2010 at 2:56 pm

Those are the least appetizing pastries I’ve seen since my Army hitch — are they posing in a PX?

Vulpes82 August 25, 2010 at 3:12 pm

What, no Bang Bus/Bait Bus jokes, Wonketteers? I’m very disappointed in you.

Berkeley Bear August 25, 2010 at 3:26 pm

If I was Joe Mauer (#7 in your programs but #1 in your hearts, Minnesota) I’d sue her for wearing my jersey in public without my approval. As if baseball didn’t have enough problems.

Malketeer August 25, 2010 at 3:32 pm

OH NO WATCH OUT MICHELE BACHMANN THERE’S A BUS BEHIND YOU!

So I’d hit that is what you saying, yes?

Truculent August 25, 2010 at 3:42 pm

Soon all will be revealed when Sarah Palin and Michelle combine as One to smite the Muslin foreigner imposter stinking up our good American WHITE House. Wonder Twin powers ACTIVATE!

disgustedcitizen August 25, 2010 at 4:32 pm

So in the last picture, she trying to figure out how this springy-dildo thingy works.

OCKerouac August 25, 2010 at 5:19 pm

OK. Quit. Mad. Stop.

Mad Brahms August 25, 2010 at 5:41 pm

“U2″ boats?
