We’ve seen this ruse before, Bachmann. You think no one would suspect it, then you get caught, and now you’re all, “Oh, I’m done being Swiss.” She only loves “America” now. We’re not buying it, SPY. This continues to all be the Left’s fault.
Here’s her letter, which essentially says, “I FUCKING LOVE THE UNITED STATES, HAMBURGERS, PIE, AND WAR.” The Greatest. Nation. The World. Has. Ever. Known. Ever. Best. Winners. God. America:
“Today I sent a letter to the Swiss Consulate requesting withdrawal of my dual Swiss citizenship, which was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in 1978.”
“I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100 percent committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of America. As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran, I am proud of my allegiance to the greatest nation the world has ever known.”
This is so stupid funny. Can you imagine caring about this? We knew they’d freak but wow, just check out this one column in the DC Examiner: “Michele Bachmann must immediately step down.” They hate her now. Thanks a lot, moral relativist post-national Left.

Is Marcus done being a Swiss Miss?
He was devastated to lose those
jugsmugs.And don't forget the
handlespigtails!He's all about the lederhosen.
She1ey said she wanted to be a leader, but she was just hosin' us.
He's staying…
he loves having those little marshmallows in his mouth, at any rate.
Yo-de-lay-hi-dee……………
No "Blowing the (Alpen)horn" jokes, please…
Marcus isn't yodeling, he's scroteling.
Fuck that, no take backs. Go eat some cheese or something!!! But become a Swisser, or whatever and stay the fuck over there.
Oh, like any country other than 'merca would put up with her bullshit.
Swiss national day of mourning in three, two, one…..
That was yesterday.
More like a Swiss National Day of Morning to celebrate this momentuous occassion of her keeping her grimey ass over here. lol

If I wasn't a moral relativist, I'd feel bad about this.
I'm on the fence about being a relativist. I mean, for others it might make sense but I'm not sure it makes sense for me.
I'm certainly in no position to judge your choices.
I thank you for your consideration and flexibility, if indeed that's what you were exercising. Far be it from me to judge.
All I know is my gut says maybe.
I'm more on board with Heisenberg. I think.
My instinct says you might be right.
I agree with Einstein, it's all relative.
Yeah, my perception of morality varies dependent on my velocity relative to the moral event I'm perceiving and the gravity of the situation too.
Squared.
QUANTUM MECHANICS LIBEL!
Moral relativism, pffft. I live to judge and place blame.
This. Yes. Judging followed by skullfucking.
I'm waiting for Bristol Palin to blog about it before I know what to think.
Darn. Now Marcus can't open that Swiss sperm bank account.
I think he would be more likely to make a massive withdrawal from a Swiss sperm bank, than to put anything in the bank…….
Depends on who is carrying the deposit at the time.
Marcus was turned down at the sperm bank when they determined that he actually ejaculates pure estrogen.
Poor Mark Krikorian. Now he has to credit libs with saving a patriot.
"As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran"
Then why didn't Michele enter the military herself? Does she hate America?
She's done a long tour of duty with a Rear Admiral.
He sure likes them "stern shots."
Applying stem to stern since…….
Who spends way too much time on the Poop deck.
She keeps her naval base full of discharged seamen….
What's long and hard and full of seamen? A submarine. Rimshot. I'll be here all weekend.
4-F: Lunatic Wide-eye Syndrome.
Armyin' is for the menfolk. Childrenin' is for the womenfolk.
So that's why Marcus works from home.
Especially when it's a paid position.
Didn't you see The Men Who Stare at Goats? She was the goat.
…It explains a lot, actually.
I loved that movie. It was so quirky.
"The Men Who Stare at Goats who Kiss Llamas"
I just assumed it was the fault of Don't Ask Don't Tell. She's openly married to a homo and all.
Her son is in AmeriCorps. Isn't that like the Coast Guard or something?
More like FEMA camp counselors. Wake up sheeple!
More like a Norwegian socialist indoctrination camp counselor.
LESBIANS might try to talk to her in the BATHROOM!
The military has some standards, you know.
Because that'd be unbecoming of an upright, Christian woman, silly.
She withdrew when she found out that just being a Swiss citizen does not mean you are automatically conferred with a private Swiss bank account with a bajillion Swiss Francs in it.
She probably thought that's how Mitt got his wealth
He got his wealth the same way Mother Gothel got hers.
…Magic hair?
She probably thought they give those nice army knives with citizenship too.
It does mean as a Swiss citizen, you are obliged to serve in the Swiss military. As this states:
"Having another citizenship does not, in general, influence Swiss military requirements. Swiss who can show they have dual citizenship and have fulfilled military service requirements, civil service or other related duties in that country are excused from Swiss military obligations according to accords signed with those states. Agreements exist with, among others, Germany, France, and the US.
For more information on military obligations for Swiss abroad and dual citizens, please contact army commanders, personnel division: Führungsstab der Armee, Personelles der Armee (FGG 1), Sektion Wehrpflicht/ Mutationen, 3003 Bern."
Women can sidestep that requirement though… shame really.
Maybe she found out that Swiss citizens are required to buy health insurance, by government mandate. (You can see how it's wrecked their economy.)
There's a sad sort of whinging from the Congressional Halls
And the bells in the steeple too
And in the US America an absurd little turd
Is popping out to say "Cuckoo"
Cuckoo, cuckoo
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, crazy eyes
You can't come and must stay where you are.
(Argh, I didn't notice your contribution until I'd posted my far inferior version.)
Like this.
To lose her Swiss citizens ship she has to serve ten years in the Kenyan Army.
Swiss taint lasts forever, Shelly. BTW, they have a citizen army and most men have a fully-auto rifle at home. You would have loved it there.
Not only that, but they get that rifle during their forced enscription in the Swiss Army.
That's right: military service is required of all adult Swiss citizens.
Having an automatic weapon: yay!
Having to use that weapon in defense of the state: boo!
Didn't they recently put a ban on building mosques, too?
She was born for this place!
That rifle's no good if you can't carry it with you everywhere – to church, Starbucks, the swimming pool, because Stand Your Ground. Having an assault rifle in your closet is Euro faggy.
Too late, traitor.
PS: Her conception sounds like the biggest goddamn joint services operation since D-Day.
"Former Swiss citizen Michel Bachman"
I call bullshit. I think she failed the marksmanship test.
The yodeling portion's a killer.
Ricolaaaaaa!!!!
But she passed the big-ass horn blow with ease
With her big ass?
Not as easily as Marcus passed it.
“Today I sent a letter to the Swiss Consulate requesting withdrawal of my dual Swiss citizenship, which was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in 1978.”
Oh, so it was imposed on you without your knowledge or consent? Then what's up with the previous sentence that says "Two days after a Swiss TV news crew broke the story that Bachmann sought in February to have her Swiss citizenship registered by Swiss authorities…?"
And of course she's one of the shrill voices on the right repeating the meme that President Obama blames everyone else for his problems, while she's the one actually doing that.
Oh Wookies — you and your "Gotcha!"
questionsanswers…As a dual citizen myself, allow me:
You can have dual citizenship but never know it. She got hers by marry Marcia…I mean, Marcus. The Swiss government never officially recognized it, but by law, she had it.
So when she realized she was eligible, it really is just a matter of filling in a form, which acknowledges that she now recognizes she has the citizenship she's had since she married Marsha….MARCUS.
In other words, she's weaseling, because it takes an affirmative act, not a passive one, to do that.
Yesterday she was a proud citizen of Switzerland who had applied to have that made official, and today she's correcting something that was an automatic and bureaucratic change of status from way back — I'm sure the Swiss are thrilled with her high-handed "I'm an American all the way" rhetoric too.
They'll declare war, no doubt. You know those swiss, always taking sides…
First Lugar, next Michelle?
You know who ELSE is a dual Swiss/US citizen?
Bob Lutz, that's who. Can we talk about him instead? Because he's a lot cooler than Michele Bachmann.
Wait, I feel like I did this wrong, somehow.
I want to see more birth certificates!!
So, was she "off" her meds today or "on", I honestly cant tell anymore.
Hey Suds, OT, but great work in Wisconsin! I'm on the tightest budget of my life, but I'm sure I can find something to do without this month. Tom Barrett needs the money more than I do. Continued success to you and all the Wisconsin Wonkets.
Thank you, I work in a building with 993 govt. employees and we are all on pins a needles. It's gonna be close, I am personally going to drag my "never voted ever" brother to the polls. Again, thanks!
"So, was she "off" her meds today or "on","
Yes.
Even Obama, who was born in Kenya, does not claim dual citizenship.
"…which was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in 1978.”
Because the Swiss protect the rights of
The Gaysmy husband.Meh. Etch-A-Sketch Snatch.
I see the Swiss being elated by this move.
"As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran"
As a person of Swiss ancestry, who served in the Navy, does that make me a Swiss Navy veteran?
Absolutely. In fact, since Switzerland has no navy, it actually makes you an Admiral in the Swiss Navy, a commodore – and the Minister of Defense: Oceans.
So get to work, my friend, and start protecting the world's oceans for Swiss commerce. Those candies and cheeses don't deliver themselves.
Switzerland does have a Navy. They sail around on Lake Geneva.
Maybe they can advise Wyoming on the proper use and care of fresh-water aircraft carriers.
A Swiss Army knife…(multitool?)
Apparently, we all can be
That's what Marcus uses in place of K-Y. He's loyal to his homeland to the end.
Marcus uses a Swiss Army knife in place of K-Y? Owie ow ow ow!
Yes, you can proudly patrol Lake Geneva and protect Switzerland from a French invasion.
So she's a Swiss Army Wife?
Oh well. That's very different. Nevermind.
A nation breaths a collective sigh of relief—- yes that nation is Switzerland.
She flips faster than (r)Money – or faster than Ole Newt dropping his first wife.
She will not, however, give up her lifetime supply of Swiss Miss.
So Marcus is staying in the US?
Pull down the fucking lederhosen and take your fucking cheese; your fucking folding knives; your fucking watches; your fucking liberal banking laws; your fucking well-run, clean cities and most of all your fucking health care system and shove them up your Swiss asses!
I thought God hates pulling out?
I think that's just the Pope.
Wow, that sex change was quick !
She's got a lot of chootzpah to talk about her patriotism when her husband is Swish.
You're such a punomenon.
I'm calling bullshit. She didn't withdraw. Switzerland threatened to kick her crazy ass out if she didn't leave voluntarily.
Birth Certificate – LONG FORM – or GTFO!
Revocation of Citizenship Long Form or GTFO!
Love the pic, is Shelley really Michelle Marceau?
Wait, even if she renounces her Swiss citizenship, isn't she still an illegal alien? Shouldn't we demand that she be deported? Or at least produce a green card?
She'll always be Euro-trash to me.
Getting dual citizenship was the only thing she's ever done that I liked.
Switzerland's loss is an Iowa State Fair corndog's gain.
In the words of KMFDM:
Goodbye, Sayonara, Auf nimmerwiedersehen. Over and out. And down the drain!
Can't wait for hecklers to start singing this from the back row, wherever 1-L goes:
♫♪ So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
But who will rise to be Switzerland's President now?
You know who ELSE had an eye trained on Switzerland and other countries in Western Europe?
Current vice-president and former Bicycle Infantry battalion commander Ueli Maurer?
Also, check out these Swiss president ladies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micheline_Calmy-Rey ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eveline_Widmer-Schlu…
Yes, how dare a sitting member of Congress hold citizenship in a democratic republic that takes personal (and canton!) rights and liberties seriously (rather than just when they're convenient) while maintaining a decidedly isolationist foreign policy!?
I would think God told her to become a Swissiten? Doesn't she get her orders directly from the top?
"As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran,"
But her family was apparently rotten to the Corps.
But wonderful to the Cavalry!
From Examiner.com:
Firmly opposed to gay marriage, she may not know that Switzerland recognizes same-sex partnerships. In a 2005 referendum, same-sex couples were granted the same rights as married couples in next of kin status, insurance, taxation, and shared possession of dwelling. In fact, it was the first nation to pass such a law by referendum," notes the Washington Post.
Further, assisted suicide has been legal in Switzerland since the 1940s, and if Bachmann does decide to live in Switzerland, the fierce opponent of ObamaCare will discover that all Swiss citizens are required to purchase basic health insurance. That's called a government mandate.
On the other hand, the place has some attractive associations for Bachmann. For example, John Calvin had Michael Servetus burned alive on a pile of Servetus's own books there, for doubting the doctrines of the Trinity and infant baptism in print.
Sounds more like Santorum's line of work.
Wow…those examiner comments are priceless
They've taken "irrelevantly misquoting the constitution" to a whole 'nother level.
From the Wingnut Editorial:
our Founding Fathers must have just done flip-flops in their graves.
Yes. Because none of them were ever citizens of any other country.
Nice to know that MIttens has authoritative precedent from the Founding Fathers.
"As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran"
Oh yeah? I'm the daughter of a Navy Veteran, niece to Air Force and Army veterans, and my great-great–great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. Where's my gov'ment monies like you get, Michelle?
Please Wonkette, can you not use that photo, it's making me and many others all coulrophobic. We don't know whether some other picture of One L will produce a different result, but we would appreciate the attempt. thank you.
It's a shameful part of American history, one we should never forget, but it's just too much.
I find this thread absolutely, positively impossible to masturbate to.
That's why you're only a probationary Wonketteer.
I just hate clowns is all.
Really, really don't like them. Not one bit.
Nope sorry, the USA has a no return policy. We don't care how defective the product was when she left our country, we are NOT taking her back.
I never really got the whole scared of clowns thing before. But now I get it. I get it.
I'm so tired of reading about this woman. Where's Sarah Palin? I kinda miss her.
Careful what you wish for!!
Snap out of it! You don't really mean that.
Sorry, no take-backs. Switzerland has to keep her now.
Dear Representative Bachmann,
We understand that you have requested withdrawal of the coveted honor of citizenship in our great country as conferred upon you in 1978. Please consider this official notice that your Swiss citizenship has been terminated effective immediately. At your earliest convenience, please return the chocolates and hotel bath towels.
Sincerely,
Switzerland
From the DC Examiner article-
"Less than the number of fingers on one hand seems to be approximately equal to the amount of members in our current Congress that care anything about upholding our US Constitution."
I'm bring that sentence home for the kids to diagram tonight!
I'm wondering if Trump will send out his investigators to find Bachmann's Swiss Birth Certificate.
You won't believe what they find. (At least, I know I won't.)
Somebody must of explained to Michele that Real Americans don't look kindly to people from other countries.
Swiss Mrs. misses.
The Greatest. Nation. The World. Has. Ever. Known. Ever. Best. Winners. God. America.
Troops, also.
When it comes to citizenship, she tried hitting from both sides of the plate.
When it came to marriage, Marcus…
…the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran…
The only conclusion we can draw from this is that Michelle Bachmann hates the Marines.

That absurd Congressgirl

So long, Michele,
Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye …
In fairness to her, she had no idea Marcus Bachmann was a closeted Swiss.
So now she's down to three holes? Pretty boring.
Perhaps this is appropriate. Her arguments are as full of holes as Swiss Cheese. I do want to know her position on the critical debate of Swiss Chocolate vs Belgian Chocolate.
But isn't she one of the main folks always making fun of European socialist ideas, that old time stuff that opposes American Exceptionalism.
Is she trying to become more like Palin by quitting?
That pic? That's actually Michele WITHOUT makeup.
In the news today…dog eats own vomit.
I would cut that bitch for Swiss citizenship.
So…
Michele quit the US for Switzerland, and now she's quit quitting?
Help me out, here, guys:
Is this good news or bad news for She Who Must not Be Named?
can i have it if she's not using it
Gawd…she looks terrible without her makeup in that photo.
Sorry, Michele. Once you go Swiss, you can't remiss.
Yes, but what kind of pie?
BTW, this is hilarious. She didn't even actively seek Swiss citizenship, but she feels the need to tell them to fuck off because of her crazy-assed fans. She probably withdrew her citizenship because Swiss sounds too close to Swish.
Just give me my God, Gold and that family heirloom musket (which must be kept locked up in town). Not to mention Cuckoo Clocks & Cheese. You can keep your Change.– Teatard bumpersticker in Swisserland
I never knew you could get Swiss citizenship for marrying a homosexual. No wonder so many conservatives are against gay marriage.
It is sooooo wonderful when the wingnuts eat one of their own!
who.cares?
Only a fool would give up a Swiss passport to pacify a few idiotic American voters.
You can safely go anywhere in the world on a Swiss passport, not that MB is going anywhere, with here husband who is already passing.
Is Marcus going to give up his US passport?
Repeat: I'm so awesomely American that it only took me 34 years to rescind this."
I'm confused, is Switzerland part of the Soviet Union?
I'm uncertain about his principles.
Hard to argue with that when dealing with Ol' Crazy Eyes.
Of course, that may also depend on whether "moral uncertainty" is the same as "bat shit crazy out of her f* ing mind."
We should ask Schroedinger's Cat.
The cat's in the box. He might be dead. On the other hand, he might just be pissed off about being stuck in that box.
Absolutist!!
Or not. I can't be sure.
Maybe we should check?
It's not our place to decide.
Agreed.
I think.
Perhaps we should agree to disagree?
You're becoming decoherent.
