I got very excited when I learned that Michele Bachmann had become a Swiss citizen,<\/a> courtesy of her Swiss-born husband, Marcus Bachmann. Silly me — I thought maybe she’d become another nation’s problem. A nation with a lovely universal health care system, I might add.<\/p>\n

But alas, the dual citizen thing rubbed Bachmann’s wingnutty constituents the wrong way. So Michele seems to have pulled a “never mind” in a letter to the Swiss Consulate withdrawing her Swiss dual citizenship.<\/a><\/p>\n

Limerick Ode To Michele “Swiss Miss No More” Bachmann
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

I enjoyed a brief moment of bliss
\nWhen Bachmann turned partially Swiss.
\nI’d assumed ’twas a flight
\nFrom our “socialist” blight
\nAnd an anti-Obama type diss.<\/p>\n

\nGuess it’s hard to accrue
\nSwiss-style benefits too,
\nWhile you keep anti-health care inveighing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
