Michele Bachmann Wants to Prosecute Democrats for "Intimidating" Billionaires

By Charles Pierce, Esquire

watched The Girl With The Faraway Eyes work radio row at CPAC -- and, if you want to see the saddest gathering of humans this side of the knots of smokers on the sidewalks of New York, hang out with the people grooving at the sight of their favorite radio wingnuts broadcasting LIVE! -- but I did not realize that she was expanding the frontiers of the crazee while she was there.

"I just thank God that there's a billionaire or two on our side," Bachmann told conservative radio host Lars Larson during an interview at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference. "All the billionaires seem to be on the radical left, so I'm glad that we have a couple on ours."..."I'm sure that the donors on our side don't like to have their names vilified and that's what this is about, intimidating people from giving money to our cause, that's it," she opined, adding that Democrats should be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for their intimidation of billionaires.

Being mean to the Kochs is now to be considered racketeering. I am going to have to spring for a pinstriped suit and a fedora if I'm going to keep up here.

I am going to miss her so.
