Is a cat fight brewing on the Tea Party front?
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.
Today, "thousands" of Tea Partyers are set to descend upon Washington to demonstrate against the health-care legislation that is slowly making its way through Congress.
They're being organized by none other than Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who's perhaps the most photogenic national Republican pol outside of Sarah Palin.
Bachmann, as you may recall, is a lawyer who gained a bits of notoriety here and there for her televised statements about her anti-American colleagues in Congress, and for groping then-President George W. Bush a bit too adoringly after one of his State of the State speeches.
And for a lot of other crazy stuff, too -- like claiming she would refuse to answer Census questions because it was a dangerous government intrusion that got all the Japanese rounded up during World War II. I mean, you never know, eh?
But it's enough to make you wonder -- why she doing it now?
Is she feeling a little upstaged by Sarah and 'Going Rogue' and Oprah?
Is Bachmann striking back?
Aren't the Tea Partyers Sarah's people?
Do we have a little Republican cat fight brewing?
Dan seems to have a real hatred for noisy women.

Dan, do you get paid for this? Where do I apply???
Would I need a beard so I might look wise when I am not?

Far as groping goes......
there was more groping done in the White House when Bill Clinton was President than when J.F.Kennedy or G.W. Bush was president then some.
In Bill Clinton's first year as President, Hillary learned that the singer Barbra Streisand had spent the night in the Lincoln Bedroom and made calls from Bill's private study.
At the time, Hillary was away in Arkansas, at the bedside of her dying father.
On the day she returned to the White House, all the talk was of a major row between the President and his wife. The next morning, he had an unexplained scratch on his face.
The two-year affair had started on the evening of August 15, 1995, when Monica Lewinsky - then 22 - bumped into Bill Clinton one evening at the White House and told him: "I have a really big crush on you."
Two hours later, she was performing oral sex on the 49-year-old President while he took a phone call from a Congressman and Hillary was in the adjoining room...

Hillary Clinton 'in White House' as Bill committed adultery
Talking about cat fight were was or is there any marital bliss or ever was there any but that was then and it still makes for an interesting read.
Jon & Kate already destroyed the reality show circus.
