		<description>&lt;p&gt;Democrats in Congress are holding the cards. They can directly deal with these issue, as opposed to complaining after the election, by returning to the Capitol and demanding that Justice Department officials testify about the alleged ACORN investigation under oath, in front of the House Judiciary Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Apparently, Attorney Bauer did not cc Rep. Michelle Bachmann.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s Footnote 5:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the last week, several members of Congress who are officially affiliated with the McCain-Palin campaign have written to the Attorney General and U.S. Attorneys pressuring them to investigate ACORN.  Among the McCain-Palin surrogates and campaign officials who have written such a letter are:&lt;br /&gt;
Senator George Voinovich (R-OH),&lt;br /&gt;
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX),&lt;br /&gt;
Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN),&lt;br /&gt;
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Rep.&lt;br /&gt;
Paul Ryan (R-WI).&lt;br /&gt;
Such efforts in the days leading up to the election are precisely the sort of politically-motivated efforts to influence the Department’s investigative and prosecutorial efforts that were roundly condemned by the DOJ Report and which remain under investigation by the Department.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, that was the most enjoyable seven page letter I’ve read in a long time.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe ever.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The full Hardball session, in two parts, Bachmann first and then discussion with Katrina vanden Heuvel and Pat Buchanan, is up on YouTube, and man, that is scary. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Matthews did really well, I think, in patiently giving Bachmann all the rope she needed to get on to serious McCarthyite territory, and vanden Heuvel’s response is great. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I couldn’t get over that creepy perpetual smile on Bachmann’s face. No matter what she was saying, she was doing the beauty-contestant winning smile plus doe eyes. She is clearly impervious to anything I would consider rational and humane.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I watched Burke beat West Roxbury this afternoon… in the first OT, sudden victory 6-0, in Boston’s schoolboy stadium.  Burke had 15 players dressed for the game. I’m not going to Middletown CT tomorrow but I’d like to take in a game.  Maybe Williams @ Tufts.  Who’s on the tube tomorrow afternoon?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Maddow took up on Bachmann’s Joe McCarthy-esque proposal to investigate Congress to determine which ones are pro-American and which ones are anti-American.   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R13FKvMfbFU&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;video &lt;/a&gt;  Send the video to your friends in her district.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It can’t hurt to let these people know that another administration is coming and that it won’t tolerate this kind of voter intimidation.  That prosecution of those who are causing this will be at the top of an Obama agenda. It might go a long way toward slowing these cretins knowing that their blank check for law breaking is coming to an end.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
