Bachmann a No Show in the Show Me State

Bachmann's congressional website:

Washington, Jul 30 - Today, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was admitted to the hospital due to a sudden illness. As a result, she was unable to participate in several votes in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday, July 30, 2010. The Congresswoman is currently resting this evening and on her way to a full and quick recovery.


According to the Strib, Bachmann's brief illness caused the cancellation of her trip to Missouri.

We are very happy that Congresswoman Bachmann has recovered.

This is a video posted by the Chuck Purgason campaign on You Tube of what Bachmann would have encountered if she had gone to Missouri:



Here's another video from the Chuck Purgason campaign that should help explain why the MO-TP is PO-ed at MB for supporting the #1 recipient of lobbyists' money and Washington Party Animal Roy Blunt:



UPDATE: According to Fox, Bachmann was well enough to sneak past the Tea Party protesters using the interent:

Although the Republican from Minnesota's Sixth District canceled a campaign stop in St. Louis for G.O.P. senate candidate Roy Blunt on Saturday, she was able to make an appearance via “Skype”.

Bachmann's spokesperson tells FOX 9 News that the congresswoman is "playing it by ear" for the next few days. Bachmann does have some appearances scheduled in Minnesota next week. There is no word on whether Bachmann still plans to attend.

Congress is in recess for August.
