Getting Whackier

Sigh, I knew this would get fun.

As you know, Rep. Michele Bachmann is planning her mega-Capitol Hill Tea Party tomorrow followed by Bachmann leading Tea Partiers through the halls of Congress demanding Congress not take away their health care.

A few moments ago Fox News host Andrew Napolitano told Bachmann that “a friend in the American intelligence community” suggested to him that Nancy Pelosi might mount some sort of Capitol Hill security clampdown to stop the Tea Party event. (The idea apparently is that Pelosi would instruct Capitol security to become so onerous that, in essence, no one would be able to get into the building. Note to Tea Partiers: The Capitol building is not a 2nd Amendment zone.)

Not surprisingly Bachmann rose to the bait, telling Napolitano that it would be a “big mistake” for Pelosi to use her power to sabotage the Tea Party.

Looks like things are primed for a very orderly event tomorrow.
