Republican representatives Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), and Steve King (R-Iowa) held a press conference last week in Egypt, praising and thanking the Egyptian military for a July 3 ouster of what Bachmann called the "common enemy" Muslim Brotherhood.
Via the Washington Post's Max Fisher comes video of the press conference, which is bizarre, to say the least.
Bachmann thanked the Egyptian military for the coup and the military-led government's crackdowns on protests, implying that the Muslim Brotherhood — of which former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was a member — was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"We were cheering in front of our televisions back home in the United States,” Bachmann said, referring to when the Egyptian military overthrew Morsi. "We were cheering for you."

Good analogy!

RUSH: Now, folks, one other thing here. Michele Bachmann... Louie Gohmert is one of the other Republicans. They wrote private letters to select individuals asking questions about the security clearance process, and they used Huma Weiner as an illustration. It was not Michele Bachmann who decided to go public with the letters. Now, isn’t this what congressmen on the Intelligence Committee ought to be asking if there are national security violations or problems involved in the security clearance with somebody with such close ties is to avowed enemies?
By the way, the new Egypt president, this Morsi guy, one of the first things he did upon being elected was demand the release of Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Blind Sheik! No doubt he wants to bring him home to honor him. It wasn’t Bachmann who went public with this. She’s doing her constitutional duties. She’s on the Intelligence Committee, along with Louie Gohmert and the others. It’s McCain that took this public. And now the Democrats are in Minnesota seeing if Bachmann is vulnerable because of what McCain has done.

The Revs. Jackson and Sharpton “give me the creeps,” Kennedy writes in a July 5 entry.
“Al Sharpton has done more damage to the black cause than [segregationist Alabama Gov.] George Wallace. He has suffocated the decent black leaders in New York,” he says. “His transparent venal blackmail and extortion schemes taint all black leadership.”
