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

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.

Eagleton had manic-depressive psychosis with a history of electroshock therapies. Not quite the same as migraines, which can hit anyone.

I’m not supporting her for the nomination but this story strikes me as laughable.

Regardless of the allegation, every candidate should have the fortitude of Sarah Palin.

I have HAD IT with these kind of attacks..OF course, they do it so te “American people can understand” How effing altruistic of them. Next, it will be about Herman Cain (who has battled cancer). I’d take any one of these candidates over what we presently have. We are in the fight for our lives this election cycle. But I’m ready.

shouldn’t you expect Michele bashers on a Michele thread, if anywhere?

So she’s not “fit to serve” but the incumbent POS is?

We had a previous president who suffered incapacitating migraines, for up to six weeks at a time.

His name was Thomas Jefferson. Obviously not fit to serve. Ol' Tom just wasn't presidential material, right?

He's married and has four children. I don't know what his problem is unless it's the usual DC ‘cocktail party invite’ sickness.

My prediction, if Mitt Romney is the last man standing, the Mormon bashing and cult theories will be a daily topic of conversation.

Of course we all know that Harry Reid is a Mormon, but since he is a Democrat his supporters know it's just an act, just like his NRA Membership.

Then again, Mitt is an NRA Lifetime Member isn't he?
Cough, cough...

Watch for another hit piece about how Bachmann takes her coffee. This story smells remarkably like the 2006 Katherine Harris smear campaign.

Let's all take a deep breath and wait.

This is totally unconfirmed, and there may be no connection between his leaving and her supposed hospitalization.

People do get the flu, you know

Looks like the Romney people are all over this. Just like they did to Palin.

And so the trashing of Bachmann shifts into high gear.

Sorry for Michele. It's a rough day.

Of course for Sarah this is called...Monday. LOL!

Exactly, we have an admitted cokehead in the WH but nary an inquiry from the MSM.

Michele could be caught in the worst throes of her 19th nervous breakdown and she can still run the USA perfectly well, certainly a million times better than “don’t call my bluff” Dick O’Muslim.

Who puts this trash out anyway?

Sooo... the moral of the story, apparently, is that Michele is really tough, bounces back amazingly quickly and is now in a MUCH more stressful situation with no signs of fatigue.

Just as the earlier Bachmann articles concerning the perpetually offended gay folk, this one too seems like an advertisement for Bachmann to someone not predisposed to hating her.

She must've heard that they're rolling out The Undefeated to wider distribution!

Cheers!
