534 MEMBERS of CONGRESS HAVE MANAGED TO AVOID CALLING JOHN LEWIS A LIAR BUT ONE... At some point Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has to find something to do with herself. Perhaps something like, oh I dunno, attend hearings and passing legislation. Our political discourse is now full of conflict, hmm wonder why...
