Stress-related condition ‘incapacitates’ Bachmann; heavy pill use alleged
Daily Caller ^ | 07-18-11 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 07/18/2011 8:13:54 PM PDT by Lazlo in PA

In late July 2010, Rep. Michele Bachmann’s then-communications director, Dave Dziok, told his boss that he planned to take a new job with the public relations firm Edelman.

Dziok had worked for Bachmann for two and a half years, a relatively long period by the standards of her office, and was leaving on good terms.

Staff turnover can frustrate any employer, but Bachmann responded more dramatically. Dziok’s departure triggered a debilitating medical episode that landed the congresswoman in urgent care.

“Within 24 hours she was in the hospital,” a former aide says.

Bachmann was admitted to a Washington, D.C. hospital on Friday, July 30, and released that same day. She flew home to Minnesota to recuperate, missing a scheduled campaign event with Sen. Roy Blunt.

So a Conservative Congresswoman ... who has stepped out for going on two years into Conservative leadership - organizing a huge protest on the Capitol Steps, has worked tirelessly to further Conservative issues ... has put herself and family in political Harms Way - suffering the slings and arrows of Leftist/Liberal/Progressive reactionary diatribes, insults and threats ... has to have a moment of DOWN TIME to recoup from all the total STRESS flung upon her... To which - I say SMART GIRL... Take a Break — Time out ... then come back swinging...

Smells like GOP operatives on behalf of Romney.

Daily Caller is owned by Tucker Carlson. 'Nuff said.

OMG the power elite are using HAARP to send EM waves into her head to incapacitate her!

Tinfoil Pictures, Images and Photos

At this point makes as much sense as the "pillhead" theory.

Need more info.

Does anyone read these articles past the excerpts? It says she gets headaches. Denies they are debilitating. I can tell you people don’t usually get “admitted” into a hospital and “released the same day”.

Maybe she gets migraines. The article makes “medication” sound like something mysterious.

Nolan Ryan is in the hospital also. Wonder if someone on his staff quit and hurt his feelings.

We don’t know why Michele is in hospital...she may have a cold or a virus.

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama spells her name differently. We should be entitled to freely denigrate and abuse Michelle without people thinking that’s an open invitation to blast Michele!

Maybe if she was a perjuring, cocaine using rapist and traitorous bastard the press would love her.

Love the photo.

How’d you get that big guy next to you to hold still for it?

And we thought the cats came out for Sarah Palin. MEOW meow MEOW meow MEEEEEEEEOW!!... this is ridiculous, Bachmann reportedly “losing it” over an aide who wanted to work for some different company (not even candidate)?

I believe the GOP elite has sent forth its assassins. Romney is their guy, and they would rather have another Obama term than a true conservative in the presidency.

Unless the story can be shown totally false she is in a lot of trouble.

This is all anyone will want to talk about when talking to, or about, her.

And if it's even 1/2 true there is some real concern that her health may not be up to the task.

“We don’t know why Michele is in hospital.”

She’s not.

It was a year ago. And she was out the same day.

These episodes, say witnesses, occur once a week on average and can “incapacitate” her for days at time.

Almost unfathomable Romney-funded bullshit, that sentence. It would mean she is out-of-commission for half of EVERY SINGLE week. Meanwhile, in REALITY, she has had non-stop whirlwind tours of Iowa, South Carolina and elsewhere - hitting dozens of stops without missing a beat.

Bachmann blankets South Carolina
Bachmann Barnstorms Iowa on Bus Tour

etc...

Funny how no one here is actually worried about the facts that were reported...if a potential leader of the free world is this susceptible to health issues, it’s a valid concern. Sounds like she doesn’t handle stress very well.

So what is this, the 4th attack in 2 weeks?! They are really in overdrive.

It's the Bachmann Turn-on-her Overdrive.

LOL! What a hit piece. They couldn’t release this in October 2012? No one cares. Give it up lefties, you’re toast.
