  • Migraines are terrible and horrific you see auras you go blind all you can do to get rid of them is to lay down in a dark room.. for hrs sometimes days weeks months. this is no laughing joke. they are exstremely painful for you to say she just gets a migraine is an understatement its not like just getting a headache!!!!

  • @annahudson76

    I agree with you. I like Mrs. Bachmann. She is a nice person.Unfortunately people are unkind to her. I read comments about her, and it seems to me that people lack of intellectual capacity. They only say, puppet, zombie, no wonder she has migranes, bitch, rape, idiot, etc. How these people have to manage America? I worry about America's future even though I am from foreign country. I guess some day they vote for Forrest Gumps and Bubbas.

  • @pgthinker007 yes why dont they leave her alone.this media crap isnt doing her any good' thank you for worrying about our messed up country.because right now it is really messed up .I believe a revalution will be coming soon in america.

  • She's a puppet. A government zombie.....just watch the debates! Listened to how robotic her speech can be. Her reptilian, hypnotic eyes. She's under mind control! No wonder she has migraines and is heavily medicated. Cmon people! Its all there.

  • Sweetie - that's just your brain doing something it's supposed to - it's called having rational thoughts - I know it hurts for someone with limited brain capacity like you, but keep thinking, it may do you some good someday.

  • My point is this. Who gives a shit if she is addicted on some pills , as far as I know JFK was quite a junkie. The problem with Bachmann is that she is a religious fundamentalist and an idiot.

  • So now we know... It's not that she's retarded stupid, she's just high.

  • These Pills.... I wonder what is in them?

  • she seems a little slow and I'm only saying that because I have had a acouple of brain uhh lets say problems myself.

  • Bachmann v3.6 will have this issue corrected.

  • Could it be....Satan ???

  • high heel shoes that crazy. Microchip?

  • Ron Paul!

  • @AdamMedd The Democrats. They are so above every one that they wouldn't hold it against the person. Hillary would hire Linda Tripp if she were still alive. Right?

  • I have a heat rash on my balls!

  • What staffers Scenk? Joe Biden has a frontal lobe disorder and you don't seem to be so disturbed that a man who cannot filter thoughts may have to use the launch codes. You aren't concerned that she has migraines just that she is a TEA Party person.

    The experts you bring in JR staffers who are not named you are really reaching what a joke.

  • Michelle Bachman must be loaded if she can afford 3 sets of pills around wherever she goes.

    This is why she's not against the rich getting tax cuts, she needs her meds.

  • I have migraines and so does my mom. Mine are called migraines but they manifest as chronic daily headache. My mom has common migraine, which is without aura, and I would not want her as president. Migraines can be triggered by stresses like anxiety or sleep changes, but stress is not the root cause.

    Migraines are a debilitating disorder like epilepsy. Epilepsy would disqualify anyone as president.

  • @HearingEveryRhyme We want her as President because she is not you ....

  • @MarioMariaMiloLady That doesn't make any sense.  She has migraines that seem to be far less under control than mine or my mother's. Would you want someone with epilepsy as President? Migraines are debilitating conditions that leave one out of commission for a long time. If you just experience 1-2 migraines per year, and they have to be migraines, not bad headaches, then the military will not let you serve in any position. The same should go for the Commander-in-Chief.

  • We all know what the headaches are from. It's from the denial of her husband being gay. Every time he breaks out in a showtune or names a color using something more descriptive than "blue", she gets a migraine. The pills are to knock her out so she doesn't see it.

  • Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a strong, independent, intelligent, attractive, articulate and accomplished conservative woman. This terrifies the liberals who prefer their women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen (actually, Michele has been there too, as evidenced by her 5 beautiful children). Michele will never abandon the women of Afghanistan to be raped, enslaved and terrorzed by the Taliban. She will never abandon Israel. Liberals want to "cut and run" and let women wear berqas."

  • A drug addicted right-winger with apocalyptic religious delusions for president. Lets try that. What could go wrong?

  • I've always got the feeling Michelle Backman was one of those MK Ultra mind controlled slaves, Sarah Palin too.

  • Does this remind anybody of, Harry Potter and the Daily Prophet's propaganda

  • I get visual migraines lol

  • you heard it here yourself, folks! Cenk said that it would take knocking him out to get him to stop wearing high heels!! hahaha!!

  • I hope she dies from an overdose one of these days

  • I have several diseases - Graves' disease, Crohn's disease, syringomyelia... and migraines are the absolute least of my issues. I know some people get severe migraines that knock them out, but I imagine that this is an issue of ignorance. A healthy person sees a bunch of pills and automatically thinks "junkie" or there's a problem. Just because someone needs a nap after a headache, doesn't mean they can't work. I doubt she was really knocked out for three days after a migraine.

  • she needs to orgasm. her gay husband isn't giving it to her and i doubt her nutty religion allows her to do it herself.

  • @battierpeeler do you think if I raped her that she would tell anyone?

  • @malechauvinistxy rape isn't funny, even for Bachmann. Grow up man

  • @marco437 why is rape not funny?

  • @malechauvinistxy w/e troll

  • @marco437 no seriously..what is wrong with phucking bitches?

  • Where's Trump? Show me the long form prescription list...

  • Headaches? I get lung cancer from OBAMA smoking.

  • If it wasn't for GOVERNMENT spending..The Bachmann's would not have a salary...There money all comes from..founds for The clinic..The farm..The foster kids..All these are government founds..That's how they get paid.....And I have migraines..You can not think..You take addicting drugs..The mess up your thinking..They are unpredictable..You can't say when they hit or not..You have no controll of your thinking when they hit..Heroin is the best relieve

  • This is a very serious issue. Should Migraine Michele get elected president {God forbid} her splitters will only make her crack under pressure. She`ll just sit there like Captain Queeg in "The Caine Mutiny" and roll those steel balls in her hand while America is facing an Armageddon.

  • If your husband was obviously in the closet all these years wouldn't you have migraine headaches too???

  • Isn't the real issue that she claims she has talks with god, which sounds like some kind of hallucinatory phenomena. That plus the "migraines" is to me an indication of schizophrenia or some kind of mental problems.

  • @laserbuddha Migraines can also be brought on by poor diet, sleep deprivation, and lack of exercise etc.

  • @EvilZeroSc Yeah, but my main point was, her claims that she has actual personal conversations with god. That plus the migraines is to me an indication of schizophrenia.

  • @laserbuddha Oh, I see....

  • @EvilZeroSc Actually, it's more than that. Many doctors and clinicians believe that ALL headaches are migraines. My doctor now believes it enough to have taken part in multiple studies. He is quite convinced, and the other docs I have seen and the specialists (I have a very rare condition) all at least agree that it's possible. It's interesting to say the least, though not yet conclusive.

  • Up front: I'm in Bachmann's district and think she is a loon. That said, I've had migraines knock me out for multiple days too. I WILL say this: Doctors are not great at determining the source, or solving the problem; it's reasonable to suspect she is not being treated well (Percy Harvin?). For her sake I hope she is addicted to pain meds, because that means there is hope for her! Pawlenty is just ridiculous with no excuse, no personality, no idea what policy should be, and no excuse.

  • @StrategyFiend I guess I said no excuse twice, but the point is this, he has no excuse. :P

  • She has migraines due to pent-up sexual frustration because her gay husband can only stomach sex with her once every 5 or 6 years and because she's killing what's left of her soul with all the lying she does for the Republican Party.

  • I believe this a Jekyll and Hyde thing. When Michelle isn't suffering from migraines she's normal and friendly but during and after an attack she becomes this raving lunatic who says and does all types of crazy shit.

    And it also completely shuts down her gaydar. It's so tragic. I actually feel sorry for her now. Someone put her out of our misery. Oops I meant her misery. HER misery. Sorry.

  • IMO pescription drugs can be just as bad as illegal drugs and when abused can cause problems. Perhaps she has become addicted to these drugs and need to take them constantly, or else she gets bad headaches. Migranes are a withdrawal symptom. Sure it probably started out just some headaches but it coould have developed into a serious case of addiction. I would not want a druggie to be president, be it Michelle Bachmenn or Ron Paul.

  • History tells us that President Abraham Lincoln suffered from migraine headaches and severe bouts of depression. According to the liberals therefore, Abraham Lincoln was not qualified to be President of the United States!

  • I am a MN girl with dark hair and migraines.But, I had medical problems my whole life which made me uninsurable...I don't receive pain medication at all . Because the UofMN was privatized and I'm just a poor disabled middle aged woman with a rare genetic disorder (EDS), I can't get treatment . Michelle,you're embarrassing us all!

  • Uhm, Cenk is forgetting Shrub's absences?

  • ANOTHER EXCUSE FOR WHY BACHMANN IS A FUCKING ADDICT - GEE CAN'T TEST HER FOR DRUGS CAN WE?

    FUCKING DRUG ADDICT - AND YOU THINK THEY ARE ALL LEGAL PRESCRIPTION? AND WE ARE PAYING FOR HER FUCKING HIGH

    TAKE THE BITCH'S HEALTHCARE AWAY - MAN UP BITCH LIVE LIKE THE REST OF AMERICA - DRUG TEST

  • mmm oxycodone

  • Maybe she should just "pray them away."

  • only 3 days!!?? dammit... why can't it be longer..

  • @Boogiedowndisciple

    and you know this how?

  • @Helotes420 :yeah, next time you are "quoting", you might want to say. And I quote">>>>unquote". best that way to get your message across.

  • she should try getting botox, it really helps with migraines.

  • @backkakari, You are a very sick person to post comments wishing that our public servants would die. Even if you disagree with the politics of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, get off of your rear end, campaign against her and defeat her at the polls. You are the "John Wilkes Booth" of the 21st Century. You are about as funny as "Lee Harvey Oswald" doing a stand up comedy routine on a late night comedy show.

  • @Helotes420 :silly bible jokes? ooookkkkaaaayyyyy. got it. and "gay" soldiers and quotes? well, I served with guys who were "Gay" and I dont know what you mean by quotes.

  • I knew a lawyer who used to scream "MIGRAINE" and go get narcotics. I smell an addict.

  • @Helotes420 never said I didnt. I served with "gay" soldiers. I was responding to your vile and vicious comments boy.

  • Did she ask her husband for permission to have migraines?

  • @Helotes420 :well BOY, you and your sweetpants must be a all a glow over that. Go get that purse and start wearing your pantyhose BOY. get a goin now!!! lol

  • I think the pills are just to talk to God.

    She is gone for three days because she is in Heaven.

    ....oh and she is a pill popper for being depressed.

  • Comment removed

  • Try drinking water straight up and eat a few oranges for vitamin C. more often than not people are dehydrated and lacking vitamin C. Stop drinking pop and coffee and eat some fruit.

  • @DIGITAL3ERO You Idiot! Don't give her any good ideas! We want this bitch to die off, not stay healthy!

  • @blackkakari Your an Idiot! I wrote the comment for others to use! As if she would EVER read this. Also, wanting anyone to die off is "judgmental" on your part! I have no clue as to who this bachmann person is and don't really give a damn in finding out. Try helping people, rather than bringing them down! It says a lot about your character!

  • @blackkakari Chill out, dude. It was just a joke. Obviously I never expected her to read it.

    P.S. If you actually knew who she was, though, you'd probably want her dead.

  • My mother suffered from migraines for years. First there were the visual anomalies, then the sensitivity to light and even the softest sounds. She got so bad sometimes that she couldn't even speak for days. All she could do was stay in a dark room, and everyone had to be quiet. The headaches made her nauseous and sometimes even irrational. If these are real migraines, not just bad headaches, it's a serious condition.

  • Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a strong, independent, intelligent, attractive, articulate and accomplished conservative woman. This terrifies the liberals who prefer their women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen (actually, Michele has been there too, as evidenced by her 5 beautiful children). Michele will never abandon the women of Afghanistan to be raped, enslaved and terrorized by the Taliban. She will never abandon Israel. Liberals want to "cut and run" and "let women wear berqas."

  • @Tennessee3501 she is bat shit crazy... it would be funny if it wasn't so sad

  • @Tennessee3501 good troll

  • "My ability to function effectively will not affect my ability to serve as commander in chief." - Michele Bachmann

    Yes, Michele. You have made yourself abundantly clear!

    RON PAUL 2012

  • Where was all of this concern w/Biden? You know, the VP who had 2 brain aneurysms?

    Cenk's is such a pathetic fat fk'ing pig that even the most hideous cable news station wouldn't keep him

  • Bachmann isn't having migraines, it's just a side effect of that lobotomy she had. The dumb bimbo gives me a migraine.

  • Marijuana for headaches! Ron Paul is the Answer.How many pills does Looney Tunes take Every Single Day??? Missle Launch Codes issued to her,No Thanks.The Mayans Already Warned us.

  • well played..

  • michelle bachman has migraines but someone else gives them. HINT HINT

  • look like her mind control is starting to wear off

  • Michele Bachmann not only suffers from migraines but she also gives them.

  • migraines? who cares? JFK had them, so did Thomas Jefferson. no news here.

  • @Helotes420 that is most moronic comment ever. on meth at the time your wrote it you ignoramous?

  • im surprised she didn't blame the headaches on gay people. Don't get me wrong, she cant control her migraines, but she blames everything else on gay people anyway.

  • @checkeredflag90210 It is God telling her to suppress her lesbian tendencies! lol

  • @nikkithebean

    Yup lesbo FTW

  • I get migraines, too, and I take meds regularly and have been through so many many many tests. However, I have NEVER heard that high heels could be a culprit and scoff at that. I don't think this is the place to choose to chastise this woman. Believe me, there is PLENTY else wrong with her, and it ain't got nothin' to do with MIGRAINE HEADACHES. Sheesh.

  • I call Vicodin!

  • If I want to see a picture of the intolerance all I have to do is go to tyt and read the comments regarding anyone that dares thinks different then liberal sheep...

  • bullshit!If she has that kind of medical problem, she would know the exact triggers & could prevent them. I get migraines too.

  • bullshit!

  • Hey I've got an idea... Let's elect a pill popper for prez! Rush, are you listening?!?

  • @connberkshire

    The Drugster could supply usall with Vicodin happiness :D

  • just say it cenk... she has schizophrenia !!!

  • Young Vain and Stupid Jerks

  • She's probably stressed out because she has to sell her line of bullshit so often.

    I'm not a salesman, but I had to walk around and try to sign people up for credit cards at the store I used to work at. And it was the easiest job I ever did physically, but mentally... Yikes... HELL. Try to sell people something I KNOW they shouldn't have, and then when I sign them up and they fail the credit check... That shit KILLED me inside. I'm sure it's similar with her and her flagrant lying.

  • The voice of God must be VERY LOUD.

  • Having to sleep with a Gay Husband? Well>>>>>>>......, That fucking Buzzzer CENK cut it the F#$k OUT!!!! Screw her and the QUEEN SHE marries. If he was Open and notthe Leader of the Pray the gay Away Movement in Minn, No One WOULD CARE. THE F-ING BUZZZER AGAIN CENK ARE U NUTS!!!!

  • I saw something about Libs hating homosexuals and calling Conservs homophobes; Now let's all make one thing clear: Not all Conservatives hate homosexuals, not all Liberals hate homosexuals. That's not to say a general percentage of Conservatives are not homophobic, but not ALL hate GLTBQ. And I'm not conservative, BTW. I'm as Lib as Cenk. Let's all calm down and realize it varies from person to person, okay? Y'all are at a five, let's bring it down to one.

    Cenk, cool show, as always.

  • I'm suprized bachmann hasn't come out and said gay people are to blame for her migraines.

  • The migraines are caused by the cognitive dissonance ruminating in her brain. The subconscious is telling her something; Stop being such a fake person.

  • Why did God give Michele migraine headaches?

  • @r3bol Well, if I was god, and I was loving, caring, all about forgiveness, turning the other cheek and had this whole "feeding the poor" and "whatever you do to the least of my brothers you have done unto me"...and then somebody went and campaigned for all kinds of bigotry and hate and for taking support from the poor and the children...And if I just so happened to be omnipotent...

    Headaches would be the least of what I would give them. We are talking epic levels of fire and brimstone here.

  • how come we never have the hot, sane female candidates; either they'er extremist crazy milfs or dumb crazy milfs. c'mon people its simple "VICKY MENDOZA DIAGONAL" (Hot/Crazy Scale)

  • Could it be that the Headaches are the result of God calling her to give her antigay instructions, History lessons, and how to run for president?

    Maybe she is consulting with Rush Limbaugh for his expertise on pain killer pills.

  • As some who has had A headache for 8 yrs, I can say, doctors will often prescribe several meds at a time. If she has a well educated headache specialist, none of these meds are going to be controlled substances, as they will cause rebound headaches. The fact she takes medication is not tremendously suspicious. The suspicious thing is blaming it on her shoes. Clearly if the shoes are the problem she shouldn't wear them. Of course nothing has ever come out of her mouth that wasn't idiotic.

  • @LizardWings Hey, I've had a headache for 8 years too. I've tried everything and marijuana is the only thing to ever give me any relief. Now I'm able to actually take care of myself. I highly recommend anyone with chronic migraines try it because it improved my life drastically.

  • i hope she drops out, we don't need a president popping pills and passing out in front of the entire world, let alone a crazy pill popping, insane religious, Armageddon believing president passing out. But i still kind feel bad for her

  • She should take bullet to the head; that'll stop the migraines.

  • What worries me is how can we count on her abilities to lead this country if she already expects Armageddon to be coming? "I will guide us into a bright future- oh, and the end of the world is imminent."

  • Not a Bachmann fan to be honest, but to be fair; JFK, arguably one of our best Presidents of the 20th century was addicted to painkillers for his Addison's disease. In spite of this he served honorably in the Navy, served in both chambers of Congress and as President. It doesn't mean she CANNOT function, but how well.

  • Bachmann should smoke a joint and take it easy on herself (and America).

  • should release medical records

  • she has enough brain activity for migraines?

  • To me, Bachmann is probably the most repulsive of the Republican candidates. That said, hyping this migraine thing as something that disqualifies her (especially when there are so many other things) is a low blow. As a migraine sufferer myself, I'm actually a bit offended by it to be honest.

  • @WatermelonRat I don't see what's so offensive. Would you run for president if your migraines could incapacitate you for 72 hours? The idea of this post is even if her politics and decision-making were the best ever, her medical problems would overshadow her qualifications.

    I guess I feel you since so much of it is speculation, but it didn't seem like a low blow. Close, though...

  • @Beaumagnus Well I still say that her being batshit insane is a better argument against her than headaches.

  • @WatermelonRat It is... no argument there.

  • It's OK because she got the pills from Nancy Reagan.

  • grabbin' pillz 

  • @Thongger LOL!

  • she might do ecstasy lol.

  • That's not a migraine that's phantom pains from when her brain was removed.

  • It's the voices in her head that cause the migraines, not the shoes.

  • @JimboJ1981 YOU try making the mistake of wearing a high heel shoe on your head all day and see if you dont get a migraine.

  • Addiction to certain prescription medication would account for the discrepancy between "intelligent"Bachman and "not even looking into the camera"bachman.

  • The Bachman administration that governs least is the Bachman administration that governs best. 3 days in a migraine coma? Things will be better since she isn't in control.

  • "My ability to function effectively has never been impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as commander-in-chief"

    Well, there has to be a lower limit to ability and functioning effectively.

    She just admits that she reaches it without migraines.

  • Wow. She's addicted to Codeine.

    Not necessarily a surprise, and really not much to be embarassed about: a LOT of people who take morphine & it's various simulacrums become physically dependent on the drug.

    It's still hilarious in all of the wrong ways, though.

  • Michele: Hey Marcus.. do you wanna have... umm.. you know

    Marcus: Uhh gotta go! Gotta meet my friends at the gym

    Michele: ~ohh..~ sigh.... now wheres the fuckin pills

    And that's how she gets migraines.

  • give her some bud, problem solved. Wait she is anti marjuna right?

  • don't shove/do pills

  • Her Migraine Hedaches are just an EXCUSE she uses to avoid having sex with her gay husband. LOL

  • @xephyr1000-normally i wouldn't pay attention to comments like these but this is waaaaaaay too funny being that this is Michelle Bachman and the situation. LoL

  • Seriously though, how self-centered do you have to be to know that you have possibly serious medical issues and still think about running for POTUS?

    Putting your quest for power over the good of the country. How un-patriotic and unfair to the American people.

  • Cmon guys stop being haters! >:(

    Everyone knows these migraines are a result of God talking to her directly. Small price to pay to talk to the creator of the universe don't you think?

  • She has to drug herself so she can continue to prostitute herself to the highest bidder.

  • It's probably differences between the barometric pressure and the vacuum in her skull.

  • @nilbud No, its because she doesnt have the lovely and safe carbon dioxide to help her.

  • That's what sniffing Grade-A coke does to you.

  • I say pray the migraines away!

  • @Atrofia2 haha good one,

  • @Atrofia2

    When she has a migraine its when "God" is talking to her!

  • So she's got a gay husband (who hates gays), and she enjoys going on 3 day pill popping binges...

    Conservative religious people are ALWAYS fucked in the head. Why am I not surprised.

  • i want jr's chair....

  • Shouldn't she be able to just pray the migraines away?

  • Although I do sympathize with the Congresswoman in the whole "it sucks to have migraines that can incapacitate you for a while" thing because they do suck, like other people have already stated, even without the migraines, she is still not fit to be President of this country at all... She is crazy and too extreme in her views/opinions and does not accept people or ideas that don't fit her idea of white Christian America. And now I guess we can now add "possible pill popper" to the list...

  • A true migraine will TAKE YOUR ASS OUT! Had them for 40 years. And the pills can knock you on your ass. These a seriously debilitating headaches. Here health is not well enough to be president.

  • It must suck to be Michelle Bachmann. And anyone around her.

  • That heffa is batshit crazy...she is probably addicted to pain killers.

  • lots of meds, eh? that explains it!

  • Forget the health problems. She is so patently unqualified to serve as President of the US. The face she is being taken seriously is the really scarey thing about your country today. What the fuck happened to the good ol' U.S of A.?

  • the source of her migraines: Pazuzu :3

  • Those migraines must be "god" talking to her. I don't think he agrees with her thoughts...must be a holy war going on inside her head...

  • The signal from the aliens is just strong it reverberates around her skull liquifying her brain convincing her that Paul Revere was if you bacon haha the in over pineapples.

  • Shoes? HAHAAHAHA!

    I am a diagnosed migraine sufferer and believe me if my shoes were causing it I'd buy new bloody shoes!

  • marijuana works really well at preventing migraines and dealing with the pain and nausea when you get them

    Bachmann should get on the weed

  • @patcook85 she already is

  • Migraine Headaches + PMS would not be a good thing for the USA's next President.......it could even be seen as a danger to National Security. One would hate for a President of the USA to be experiencing Chronic Debilitating health problems that effect the stability of the President's thinking during a time of crisis. Michele Bachmann would not be the best candidate for the job, and the USA needs a President that can be responsible 24/7/365.

  • Most patients would agree that the only drug for migraines that works consistently is FIORICET/FIORINAL. Prochlorperazine has also been used for the 3 day migraine. The first 2 are good and extremely addictive. Nothing over the counter like Excedrin will touch a real migraine. Migraines are NOT tension headaches. If she is ripped on barbiturates then she must go. She is likely high as a kite 2-3 days outta the week. That is fucked up.
