As usual, all your Wonkette had to do was demand accountability in a single post and boom, there it is: accountability. It’s not such a bad gig, being the most powerful blog in the universe. (We would imagine.) Isn’t it a delight to see everyone finally condemn Michele Bachmann for smearing Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, instead of simply laughing this off as one more thing? You’ve got your Walnuts, Ed Rollins, Marco Rubio, some other folks, and now John Boehner, who said today: “I don’t know Huma. But from everything that I do know of her, she has a sterling character, and I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” You know what else would be pretty dangerous, Boehner? Huma Abedin plotting another 9/11, right now, with Egypt and her husband, Mr. Penis.
Boehner did stop short of saying she would have to leave her post on the Intelligence Committee, though, which she obviously should. The easiest way to achieve that going forward would be to vote her out of Congress for being stupid and cruel.
Did you see Bachmann running away from CNN’s Dana Bash yesterday? You should see it. Look at her go! Ha ha ha:
If you’re going to criticize Huma Abedin, at least settle on a story with some evidence, like how she is Hillary Clinton’s lesbian lover.

It's the ones you never suspect of being a terrorist who we have the most to be worried about!
Yeah, like my next door neighbor's baby crying at night isn't part of a greater plot. That's why I keep my web cam trained on them at all time, and keep sending the feed to Homeland Security. If we don't report on each other, we will lose our freedom!
Hey man, the gubmint can see your webcam cause of the power meters. Just thought i'd warn you.
"It's the ones you never suspect of being a terrorist, or a lesbian, who we have the most to be worried about!"
Fixed
Damn, didn't think of that, I need to get another web cam.
Putting the moron in oxymoron daily, Congressional Intelligence.
And Rush Limbaugh provides the oxi (sic)
Midgets in Congress with some enormous Viking woman…wth?
Sure that wasn't Marcus?
He does look fetching in pigtails.
Sarah Palin is confused because she thought Egypt was ruled by the Pharaohs, not the Muslim Brotherhood.
Pyramid libel!
Pyramid Ale Libel!
But can she see pyramids from her back yard? (Assuming she is not smoking meth).
She sees King Tut rising in the clouds!!!
Which one, North Egypt or South Egypt?
Sam Sham libel!
Vote her out of congress for being cruel and stupid? Aren't those the first two items on the check list, right before "obscenely wealthy" and "suffering from at least one debilitating addiction?"
Adulterous and in the closet helps too.
Did he cry?
Does he stop?
He's saving his tears for November.
That accompanying woman there could eat beans off the top of my head and fart in my face.
How much do you charge for that?
Charge? Hell, I'd pay for that.
BYOB
We've all been tempted by the eating beans off the top of Baldar's head and farting in his face job. Sometimes, you just have to say no.
Fine, I'll put away my spoon…
Is it a rule that you must be functionally illiterate to be this guy? why can't he ever have "seen the letter" or "read the bill" or "not be a huge question ducking dickbag?"
Also, Boehner on Bachmann, worst porn ever, especially if it was Marcus. Too many jowls everywhere.
Just think of the noise those jowels would make, slappin' all around.
Deputy Dawg.
truly the worst doggy-style ever.
Good question! I always wondered why no one ever saw the statement, or knew the person (or knew them "that well"), has the slightest idea what they are being asked, but feels it's still OK to comment on it. What's up with that?
It's been pretty awesome watching the party that enabled her crazy bullshit all these years suddenly turn on her.
But I won't be happy until Bachmann, Goehmert, and Steve King are forced to fight lions gladiator-style in the pit of the House to retain their seats.

I admit a total psychological freak-out is more plausible and increasingly likely, but I'm holding out for mauled by massive predator. I'll settle for a shark tank.
What did a shark ever do to you? Beautiful creatures.
No, I think poetic justice demands either a gaggle of rabid geese or a few wild boar.
Well, she does walk like an Egyptian.
Great, now I'm going to be whistling all fucking afternoon.
That was surprisingly composed; I'd expected her to be waving her hands over her head, screaming about the lesbian attacking her.
Michele Bachmann plus Intelligence Committee = *brain explosion*
Politics is like sausage, and I believe we have found the ground rat testicles to prove it.
Soon priests will be getting gay-married if this course continues.
Today, we are all Muslim brothers.
*knock knock knock*
(Hold on, someone's at the do
And Extemporanus was never heard from again…..
)
Dammit, Ex, close your parentheses! You'll let out the cat!
"Who's there?"
"Boehner who?"
"Boehner Bachmann, both are insidiously poisonous."
Now wouldn't it be awesome if Bachmann didn't get reelected?
Michele was on her way to watch reruns of Bristol Palin – she's so excited about that role model.
Dana should consider getting some cosmetic surgery to try and reduce her resemblance to Ann Coulter.
That is just plain mean.
Not looking like Ann Coulter is why I'm glad to be a chunky gray/brown haired grandma.
You sound adorable.
Dana Bash is just weird looking. And she's married to John King, who looks like he got hit in the face with a shovel or, perhaps, kicked by a mule in his youth. Adopting kids is really cool, you two.
Given all the people trying to protect Abedin from both sides of the aisle, it's obvious that Bachmann is on to something and the infiltration is even deeper than any of us could have imagined.
Yes, we need to encourage her . Maybe Sheriff Arpaio will form a posse.
With funding from Donald Trump.
They can use Dale Gribble's van.
If Bachmann tries to cash a check on the Hill someone else should probably have to co-sign it, just in case. And no access to sharp things like letter openers or scissors.
Damn. Wasted opportunity to get a great shot of Dana Bash wearing a knockout summer dress and walking fast in heels because the freaking camera is focused on the troll woman with the bad hair and batshitcrazy eyes who is trying to go back into her hidey hole in the stairway shaft.
Warning Orange Man and your Comrade friends: Michele Bachmann has all of yours name on her Secrets Intellemagence Book!!!!!
I'm confused, is her intellemagence a secret? Or is it the book?
Why does the Boehner hate America? Is he one of the commies Allen West was talking about?
"Would you consider recommending that she be committed to a state mental institution? Congressman Bachmann?"
"I don't know that that's related."
The hell it ain't.
Michelle was moving faster than Barnabus Collins. What, was the sun about to come up?
If you think Michele Bachmann can walk fast in heels you should see her husband.
WIN of the day!
And his ass wiggles better too.
Huma Abedin, sexual terrorist. OK, now we're getting somewhere. I sense Cinemax script potential here.
And thus the conspiracy grows greater every day.
Yes, because once the right wingers start accusing off-white people of being treasonous, they might start coming after the orange folks as well…
Someone grew some balls in the tanning booth.
They are free with every 5th tanning session. Or bottle.
Huma Abedin conspired to tweet Wiener's weiner so to get another pro-Israel voice out of Congress.
There's as much of a chance of the muslim brotherhood penetrating the state department as Marcus Bachmann penetrating Michele's snatch.
Good to see you, Ed~
Thanks I've been in wonkette semi-retirement, I haven't really posted much in the past year, though I still lurk.
Unfair comparison, as Michele's snatch has been closed for business for over three decades.
And that's clearly Obama's fault somehow.
Win
If you’re going to criticize Huma Abedin, at least settle on a story with some evidence
Today we are all Humanists.
sorry… I'll just be right over here..
Is Dana Bash CNN's token ugly person or something?
No, not on CNN. If she were on fox, that would make her the token ugly (female) person.
OT: Mittens just blew any chance I might vote for him.
(Sorry for the link to the Tuckington Post).
Romney isn't against porn. He's against people getting free porn online. Paying for porn, say maybe in a room at the Marriott, is perfectly acceptable.
We are talking Republicans, and we have found the one of the areas where they side with big government over the job creators:
Just a few federal inquests, said Trueman, would likely frighten most companies — such as hotels and cable providers — into completely disassociating themselves from porn.
What would be the use of being a business traveler if you can't spend $12.99 for a few minutes of Spank-o-vision? The entire economy will grind to a halt!
You mean there was a chance you would vote for him before?
I might become a billionaire in the next four months. You never know.
It wasn't very kind of you to post that link here. Think of the panic you've induced in three-quarters of the wonketteers.
Trueman, the president of Morality in Media, contacted the Romney campaign earlier this year about the “untreated pandemic” of Internet pornography.
What, they can't use the cream for that pandemic? Works immediately…
But think of the job creators that would be hurt by this.
First they came for my porn . . .
From Tucker's wet dream:
Trueman said he would like for Romney to speak publicly about cracking down on porn, but believes Romney avoids the subject because he “saw that Rick Santorum got beat up in the mainstream press for being so forthright.”
Anybody know when the word "forthright" became a synonym for "batshit crazy prude"?
“With respect to Romney, I believe him,” said Trueman, “but I’d like to make sure he means it.”
Even if Romney doesn't mean it, in two weeks, he will change his position and mean it then.
Trueman said convictions for distributing porn that displays group sex, simulated rape, incest, psuedo child porn, violence or unusual fetishes — such as “scat” porn — are relatively easy. But, he said, “unless it’s just waist-up nudity of women’s breasts it probably can be found obscene somewhere in the country.”
Yes, we all want to be held to the moral standards of some small town in Utah. That is what this country is all about! But what kind of pervert is this guy anyway, if he knows about all that porn, and still wants to protect his waist up breast fetish.
You can take my porn when you pry something from my cold, dead hand.
And by something, I mean my penis.
I have here in my hand a list of
1035uh 50 Wonkett commenters who are in fact seckrit Romneys! They have coworkers who have relatives who have friends who have once touched a $100 bill.You people!
You know you're crazy when even a man as drunk as Boehner can see that you're nuts.
This must be a real shock for her, that more than one person is finally calling her on her complete and utter bullshit. It's taken far too long for anyone to say "Enough, you goddamn cunt."
It's so hard to get good help.
god. i would pa.y money to be able to say that to her face
Ah crap – the closing picture mosaic has the half-eaten guy. I've managed to avoid that up to now. I don't need that sort of crap in my head.
I'm just trying figure out why this is the thing that finally got republicans to say "whoa…hold on a minute…"
All they've done is smirk and giggle about the disrespect, lies, and slander aimed at the president and those around him. Now all of a sudden it's not okay?
Best explanation I've seen is what someone else here posted on a different thread: The target is a hot woman. If she were anything else it'd be business as usual.
My guess is that Hillary has been doing some behind-the-scenes knee-capping. I might be alone in not finding Huma to be particularly hot, but I can't be alone in believing that Hillary has less tolerance for this bullshit than Obama.
Agree, when this actually led to actual shit happening, including tomato and shoe throwing by Egyptian Christians who felt betrayed, I'm sure Hilary was pretty pissed off.
Harming one official's career is a tragedy; harming 30 million uninsured is a statistic.
Maybe McCain, Boehner & co. realize that many of the swing voters in the upcoming are educated and may even know what "McCarthey – ism" is and they don't want to lose their votes?
Nah, too rational.
Wish CNN had had a close up shot, so I could see the fear in Crazy Eyes' eyes…
Rubirosa was on "The Diane Rehm Show" today. He was not about to answer the question asked. Would he publicly criticize Bachmann for her attacks on Huma Abedin? He mumbled something typical.
So, has he changed his mind in a little over 6 hours?
Yeah, making dangerous accusations involving the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating government is in no way related to the Intelligence Committee, or intelligence of any kind. He got that right.
I loved that The Daily Show called Boehner a Tandoori-American. Also imagine the Speaker of the House not wanting to libel a citizen. How crazy is that?
It's too bad Michele and Marcus can't pray the stupid away.
Boehner did stop short of saying she would have to leave her post on the Intelligence Committee, though, which she obviously should.
Maybe Boneheader figures her potential replacements within the Republican Party would be even stupider. He might be right for once…
Stupider, perhaps. But there's no way that they can be as insane.
Huma Weiner.
Oooooooooooooooopraaaaaaaaaaaaah! Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumaaaaaaaaaa!
She probably just thought Dana Bash was one of the gheys after her again.
I'll respect Dana Bash when she does it backwards.
Oops. Looks like one of Mittens' buddies is a little rapey. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54519160-78/pet…
HOLY NEPHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is an upscale rapist. He takes his victims to his leetle "five-bedroom, five-bathroom, 3,000-square-foot cabin" in the woods.
That needs to be Wonkvilled or something.
Ah, I just did. It said something about "hot links" but there were no sausages to be found anywhere.
It's always the financial planners. How many MBAs– with their ties to the people who want to ruin this country– have infiltrated the Republican Party?
In Utah they call that Sister Wives…
Isn't that the guy that helped Mitt develop his plan to lead the country?
You guys just don't understand. Ms. Bachmann is a straight shooter, shoot from the hip, shooting maverick, like Sarah Palin. When you shoot from the hip, as you would know if you were gun owners instead of liberal hippies, you miss what you are aiming at a lot of the time. But, you shoot fast, make alot of noise, scare the shit out of people. That's what makes America great. Oh, and freedom. Screw the facts. Facts are for non- hip shooters.
Oh, you people…
Say, you know who ELSE threw dangerous accusations?
Michele is so wrapped up solving our National problems I'm betting her panties stay pee-crusted and pretty well skid-marked, ya know; just can't be bothered, too much to do.
You people are all blind!!! If the Muslim Brotherhood and the Jews get together, it will be 9/11 times a million all over again!
Oh no … that's … 911,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get it. When did baseless slander become a problem for Republicans? Also, she is only 5'2", which surprises me given how scary she is.
Clearly, Ms. Bachman has no sense of Huma.
Republican women – can't live with 'em, and can't get them to dress up in a little Nazi uniform and beat you with a warm squash or something.
I just heard Joan Walsh of Solon refer to OneL Batshitcrazy as "Joe McCarthy in lipstick."
Not lesbian, Lebanese.
Boner wouldn't know"sterling character" if it bit him on the dick
Lightweight?
Time for someone to put on some weight, baby…
//unzips pants
I can't wait to vote for Mr. Penis again.
