Michele Bachmann’s greatest fear.

It saddens me to report that the last little marble caroming around inside Michele Bachmann’s skull has exited the building and was last spotted rolling down Wabasha St., headed straight for the river:

Bachmann’s proposed constitutional amendment states: "The President may not enter into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States."

Oblivious to the hospital orderlies with the straightjacket tiptoeing up behind her, Bachmann, her nostrils flared in righteous indignation, has spent the last week railing against some mist-shrouded concept of a global currency that would replace the U.S. dollar. Never mind the fact that nobody in the Obama Administration has ever said anything about replacing the country’s legal tender. That’s irrelevant. What’s got Bachmann’s "freedom cut" panties in a twist is the paranoid thought that Communists and Socialists and Fascists (oh my!) would financially humiliate . . . HUMILIATE! . . . the U.S. dollar, and by extension . . . enslave the god-fearing Americans who voted for her.

With the disproportionate moral certainty worthy of Ted Haggard amped up on Tina, Bachmann has turned her amendment bill into a klieg light that illuminates her colossal ignorance. What’s worse is that there are at least thirty other tweezerheads in the House of Representatives who share in her misplaced "patriotism" willing to co-sponsor this piece of congressional detritus.

Bachmann’s sophomoric examination of Tim Geithner last week made for great comedy, but she’s come completely unhinged with this proposed legislation. I wonder what might have happened who’d be wearing the Crown of Crazy if only Kit Kat Harris hadn’t had her own delusions of grandeur.
