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.

Since it was a Republican (i call them all 'regressives') it never happened.

The repubs forgive each other for adultery (a religious tenet known as commandment) and even repeat offenders but will not forgive Romney for RomneyCare and a sin in the church of profits. The repubs forgive Gingrich and Vittner and allow that righteous adulterous Santorum to seek their pres. nomination while labeling dems as some sort of social sloth.

It's getting so ridiculously obvious that one has to wonder how the repubs get elected to any office. The repubs even support a Pa. state rep found guilty of molesting a 13 yr. old girl on the repub ticket.

There's a whole lot more I am sure.

This OP shows how they must use the Orwellian requirement to change the meaning of words. A political rally becomes a press conference. A peacable assembly for a redress of the peoples legitimate grievances is called a parade, requiring a parade permit.

Anybody not witnessing the destruction of this country's laws and political regulations and the requirements for the coming capitalist fascism...is blind.

So then,just so we get it straight, the righty-whacky rational is, that because Michele is a rightist,the "left-wing" news isn`t allowed to report her on maleficences?

Is that how how it works?

Cuz that would just about discredit everything fox/righty media says about democrats and President Obama.

Thanks fox,for making it so easy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_conference

A news conference or press conference is a media event in which newsmakers invite journalists to hear them speak and, most often, ask questions.

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.

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

It was dropped because, in the words of the Fox News commentators, the situation was "murky".

In other words, Bachmann and her fellow conservatives were treading a fine line.

Considering her teabbagger positions on the use of government funding, I would think this stretched well beyond the lines she herself drew.

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!"
