Michele Bachmann: Pelosi plays dirty
By JAKE SHERMAN | 3/15/10 1:37 PM EDT
Rep. Michele Bachmann is accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s aides of ignoring sexual harassment charges against former Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) in hopes he would vote for health care overhaul legislation.
“The real story about Massa is that it appears Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi’s office may have known about the sexual harassment between him and his employees as of last October but they laid on that story,” she said in a speech in St. Paul, Minn. “I’m not saying this is what is, but this is what it looks like. It looks like they laid on that story until they couldn’t get Massa’s vote then suddenly these charges got out and this guy was forced to resign. This is how dirty it’s getting.”
Pelosi's aides did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Captain Obviousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I am shocked!
Rep. Bachmann is one of the few stand up, strong Republican’s in the House. She has a set...and they are solid brass.
Go Michelle Go!
One day Pelosi will reap what she sows.
Why does it seem the Republican women are the only ones with cajones?
Wow, Michelle Bachmann must have ESP and be a mind-reader to boot!
I love her. She is the best of our elected leaders.
And it takes the ‘girl’ to do what the ‘men’ should have been saying from the start. What a bunch of cowards!
I am a big fan of Michelle Bachmann, but this “story” is flat out ridiculous. If she wants to to run for higher office, she needs to get her “facts” nailed down. This is just innuendo. And Massa never said anything like that on the Glenn Beck Show.
“Massa was promised a tickle party by Pelosi if he quit the Congress.” That makes just as much sense .
“Go Michelle Go!”
Thank you, Michelle Bachmann!
This health care bill is wrong for America, families, seniors, and wrong for our kids.
It will produce a complete ‘hands-out society’ if we are not there already.
Hillary Clinton in 1994 — *I’m far better able to care for you than you will ever be* — said the woman who could not take care of her own family.
STAY OUT OF MY HEALTHCARE & MY POCKET.
Again, thank you for speaking out for America!
Like I’ve always said why the media hated Reagan, Buchanan, Nader & Sarah. The elites didn’t own them ergo could not blackmail them. You don’t usually get to be the nominee in this corrupt “Two-Party Cartel” unless they own ya.
She has always been vile and dirty.
