Apparently the only people interested in the Super Bowl of Freedom were aging white retirees with nothing to do on a Thursday.
Today was Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann's "house call on congress", also dubbed by her as "The Super Bowl of Freedom". Despite her fears that Nancy Pelosi would sick her goons on the ordinary folks in attendance, it looks like it all went down peacefully with just a few arrests.
Here you can see video of those arrests, with the crowd attempting to sing "God Bless America" without actually knowing the words:

And here's Bachmann Crazy Overdrive herself talking to her subjects like children in her folksy Minnesota accent. Is it wrong that she turns me on a little?
It's worth pointing out that Bachmann's chief of staff, Michelle Marton, resigned yesterday and won't discuss the reasons why:
A conservative Republican House member, speaking on the condition of anonymity, suggested that Bachmann’s views — and her willingness to state them — make it hard for her to keep staff.
“When your captain’s crazy, it’s time to find a new ship,” the lawmaker said.
