Seems somebody (besides Dennis) has been getting a little carried away with those sexy, sexy vampire movies! I am talking, of course, about the one and only* Rep. Michele Bachmann, who is now telling people that the only way to stop health care reform is to go out for blood.

No seriously, you guys, actual blood…

"This cannot pass," the Minnesota Republican told a crowd at a Denver gathering sponsored by the Independence Institute. "What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass."

That is so, like, deep. This totally reminds me of that one time Congress filibustered a bill by smoking clove cigarettes and listening to the Smiths for sixteen hours straight. Awesome!

Also, I guess this means the Republicans' plan for health care will cover treatment for self-inflicted melodramatic empty gestures.

^{*Dear lord, I hope she isn't keeping a clone of herself in a closet somewhere, but who even knows with Michele Bachmann?}
