Bachmann Molests Bush after SOTU


Do You see Michelle Bachmann's hand on Bush's shoulder last night? Well, Laura better watch her back (and for that matter, so should Mr. Bachmann), because Michelle was totally macking on G-Dubs after the State of the Union.

While the President was signing autographs for members of Congress after the speech, the sixth-district Republican put her hand on Bush's shoulder. However, it wasn't just a tap. After he signed an autograph for her, Bachmann grabbed the president and did not let go for almost 30 seconds.

After signing the autograph for Bachmann, the president turns away, but Bachmann doesn't let go. In fact, the video shows her reaching out to get a better grip on him.

Bush then leans over to kiss another congresswoman, but Bachmann is still holding on. Bachmann then gets more attention, a kiss and an embrace from the president. A few seconds later, Bachmann's hand finally comes off the presidential shoulder.
I shouldn't act so surprised-- Bachmann's well documented hero-worship of Bush II is something we've come to expect. But for a man with a 28% approval rating, her actions are just out and out fanatical.

The cringe-worthy video, courtesy of KSTP, is here.
