You Re-Elected Her, Not Me

Ahh, Michele Bachmann...the gift that keeps on giving. This week's babbling inanity may be costly however, as she revealed on talk radio that she's planning to break the law:

Outspoken Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann says she's so worried that information from next year's national census will be abused that she will refuse to fill out anything more than the number of people in her household.

In an interview Wednesday morning with The Washington Times "America's Morning News," Mrs. Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, said the questions have become "very intricate, very personal" and she also fears ACORN, the community organizing group that came under fire for its voter registration efforts last year, will be part of the Census Bureau's door-to-door information collection efforts.

"I know for my family the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home," she said. "We won't be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that."

It may not, but federal laws state that falsifying or omitting data on a Census form is in fact a federal offense punishable by up to a $5,000 fine.

So, you do that Michele. Keep protesting your own employer and embarrassing the people of Minnesota, and for sure, keep announcing those plans to break federal laws as a federal lawmaker.
