Michele Bachmann Drops Out of Presidential Race

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Republican Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann formally ended her campaign for the White House this morning, just one day after Mitt Romney’s Iowa caucus victory . “Last night, the people of Iowa spoke with a very clear voice. And I have decided to stand aside,” the GOP Congresswoman from Minnesota told reporters today. They spoke, indeed, dealing her a disappointing sixth-place finish. The Queen of Rage could not become The Queen of Votes . Despite Bachmann’s extensive tour to visit all 99 of Iowa’s counties, her August straw poll win, and the state being her place of birth, she garnered just five percent. Her communications director Alice Stewart told reporters following the news conference that conversations began last night about whether to continue the campaign. The congresswoman asked for time to “sleep on it” and “pray about it.” Stewart said she was awoken early Wednesday morning with the news that Michele was out. Bachmann has not yet discussed whether she will seek reelection to her U.S. House seat in Minnesota, Stewart said, or whether she will endorse another candidate. Also unclear if last night’s second-place finisher will reach out to her supporters with the following tagline: Rick Santorum: Conservative Like Bachmann, But Less Crazy!

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Who says true love can’t find a way: Sinead O’Connor and Barry Herridge, who recently separated after 18 days of marriage, are now giving it another shot! The singer took to Twitter to announce that she and Herridge, who wed last month, then split up, were very much on again once more just one week later. “Guess who had a mad lovemaking affair with her own husband last night?” she Tweeted, adding that “mother—–s who dont like it …so me all happy!!” Eloquent, Sinead O’Connor. Eloquent. O’Connor married Herridge , a drug counselor, on December 8 in Vegas (not a good sign), but split amid “intense pressure” from people in Herridge’s life. “The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man,” Sinead told The Sun (UK) way back in the day. “It felt like I was living in a coffin.” “It was going to be a coffin for both of us and I saw him crushed.” The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer acknowledged she and Herridge had rushed into the marriage the first time around, but will now be taking things slow. “Yay!!! we decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend an stay married but we did rush so we gonna return to b friend g friend an be sickenly happy,” she wrote. Hey, she’s trying a hell of a lot harder than Kim Kardashian . Just sayin’ … [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
