The following is pretty much a complete non story but the headline alone earns it a place in this thread: [Sworn statement from Rex Elsass staffer refutes suggestion that firm bought ‘female pleasure machine’ for Michele Bachmann](http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2013/09/sworn_statement_from_rex_elsas.html#incart_river_default) > [@](#): > > COLUMBUS, Ohio – An employee of Strategy Group for Media has offered a sworn statement disputing suggestions that the top executive of the prominent, Ohio-based political consulting firm nearly sent a sex toy to U.S. Rep.

Didn’t Marcus Bachmann once run a pray-the-gay-away ministry? It just occurred to me that **that** is a FOOLPROOF way to meet young gay men. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Didn’t Marcus Bachmann once run a pray-the-gay-away ministry? It just occurred to me that **that** is a FOOLPROOF way to meet young gay men. Young and gay, but also confused, scared and upset. It would take a real dirtbag to take advantage of someone like that and I would hope that wherever the Bachmann’s ethical line is, that is on the other side of it. ---

But it’s not billed as a ministry – he calls it a ‘clinic’. And despite Michelle’s ranting against Obamacare in Congress, Marcus will be glad to accept payments from Obamacare. ---
