The extent of Bachmann's hypocrisy is truly disgusting. And the only media coverage we get are Fox “News” lies protecting her that she’s being attacked by the “left wing media.”  Wow.
 
 
Roll Call: Bachmann Used House Funds To Pay For Tea Party Rally. Will We See A Media Feeding Frenzy? Of Course Not. - Video
 
By Susie Madrak

The money came from the Members' taxpayer-funded office accounts, despite House rules prohibiting the use of these funds for political activities. Bachmann's office insists the expense was a proper use of official funds.
 
Bachmann billed the event as a "press conference," which can be funded from official accounts. But no questions were taken from the press and, unlike most press conferences, it opened with a prayer, the national anthem and a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

And the fact that this has already been investigated by the ethics committee and dropped means NOTHING to you, does it?

I was not aware that one HAD to take questions at a press conference in order for it to BE a press conference... Only in Liberalland where the Zombies walk the earth, looking for hand outs.

The faux outrage of the left is hilarious to watch, you guys have it down to an art form. I'm beginning to think all liberals are just full of anger and rage, and miserable their entire lives.

OK rob, have you ever seriously heard of a press conference where the press didn't want to ask questions?

Here are the possibilities.

A: It wasn't a press conference

B It was a press conference and either Bachman was SO erudite that all those reporters were in too much awe to think of a question.

C: It was a press conference and Bachman's statements had such a huge "WHAT THE FUCK? effect" that the reporters couldnt think of a question.

Well."one" could hide from the press.

But "one" running for President of the United States, would surly have to answer questions or be thought of as a coward,wussie,light-weight,hider,with something to hide.

Or "one" could run for office claiming to be a victim of the press.That`s really in fashion now.

"Vote for me,the press is mean to me and asks me questions"

If someone can`t stand the light of day,why should America put them in the most powerful position in the world?

For a goof? Just to see what happens?To piss off an imaginary liberal press?"take that,you meanie question asking monsters!"

Press statement... where one makes a statement to members of the press
Press conference..., where statements and questions are expected to be made and answered

I know of no constitutional law that says that only presidents are allowed news conferences.

You might want to brush up on the statutes, being a cop and all....
