Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-MN), the chairman of the House Transportation Committee, has some tough words for a particular member of his state’s delegation — Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann — the Minnesota Independent reports.
“I don’t think God’s talking to her anymore,” Oberstar said on Tuesday, in response to Bachmann’s call for conservative activists to slit their wrists and become blood brothers against President Obama on health care. “I think she’s hearing other voices.”
The bit about God talking to Bachmann is not a random joke, by the way — that’s how Bachmann said she became a candidate for Congress in 2006, after God called her to run, and she and her husband fasted and prayed for three days to make sure.
