Michele Bachmann Reportedly Suffers From Stress-Induced "Episodes"
Business Insider ^ | 07/19/2011 | Zeke Miller

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) suffers from incapacitating, stressed-induced migraines, The Daily Caller reports, questioning her fitness to be President.

The report cites multiple sources close to the GOP presidential candidate confirming the condition, and lists multiple hospital stays and trips to urgent care centers for treatment.

"She has terrible migraine headaches. And they put her out of commission for a day or more at a time. They come out of nowhere, and they’re unpredictable,” a Bachmann adviser involved in her 2010 congressional campaign told The Daily Caller.

A spokeswoman for Bachmann, Alice Stewart, confirmed ”she suffers from migraines and they’re under control with medicine,” but said the report that they were incapacitating is wrong.

Migraines are evil. But to use the term “heavy pill use” to imply she’ a drug-user is downright despicable.

This may have a backlash. Millions of women (myself included) get his with migraines to some degree, and for the press to snidely imply we’re unfit to do anything because of “heavy pill use” is insulting.

“She has terrible migraine headaches. And they put her out of commission for a day or more at a time. They come out of nowhere, and they’re unpredictable,”

Hmmm, change “she/her” to “he/him”, and change the wording slightly to something like”...wanders into meetings with no clue of what’s going on...and...escapes to the golf course out of nowhere at unpredictable times..,”

Sound familiar? Like a Cretin who’s our president?

Wow! What an important revelation.

Any minute now, brocko’s medical records will become public; also his cocaine use, chapter and verse.

...crickets....))))))))

Oh, and I forgot to mention in the above post...the drugs the Cretin-in-Chief has admitted to in his books (probably the only truth there) are probably (heh) a bit more destructive to the brain than those used for migraines - as has been aptly demonstrated by the loon’s laughable performance as chief executive.

She suffers from migranes. The headlines all make it sound like she is a candidate for a straitjacket. The lowest form of character-assassinating slime yet. But hey, what do you expect from Liberals?

Thomas Jefferson suffered from the same affliction.

Next headline “Bachman Imitates Jefferson”.

My mom was periodically KOed by these terrible attacks. It was about the only rest she got from raising seven sons.

Migraine headaches are the plague of high-achieving women.

All this says is she's a high-achiever.

How is this not sexist?
If she was a woman of the left, this would be an excuse, not a cause of alarm.

they put her out of commission for a day or more at a time.

The MSM are sooooo concerned.

Shades of Thomas Eagleton, VP nominee of 1972, who was forced to withdraw due to prior treatment for depression.

Obama suffers from depression, fantasies of greatness, narcissism, and a near paranoiac need to blame others at all times.

We had more MSM medical history reporting on Joe the plumber Wurzelbacher than we did on Baraq.
