'Good riddance': DCCC celebrates Bachmann's retirement — then milks it for cash

Never let a fundraising opportunity go to waste! Right, Democrats?

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee can barely contain its glee over the news that GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann will not seek reelection:

Are you going to miss Michele Bachmann? No? Neither are we. Tell her good riddance: http://t.co/7SfSSsoSzg #ByeByeBachmann

Who’s going to come up with our Tea Party conspiracy theories now? Sign to say goodbye to Michele Bachmann: http://t.co/Kja9NxB8Ab

We’re going to miss your antics, Michele… just not you or your bigoted views. Add your name to her sendoff: http://t.co/RVXE4pj2xC

Classy, right? And totally not predictably lame.

DCCC website: Sign a letter to say bye bye Bachmann "we're not going to miss her one bit." Classless. http://t.co/xe8nAMsmCw

But why stop at patting themselves on the back? The DCCC trolls have also got to parlay Bachmann’s departure into sweet, sweet cash.

With the well about to dry up, the DCCC tries to fundraise off of Bachmann one more time.

Via David Freddoso at Conservative Intelligence Briefing:

C’mon, America. Won’t you dig deep for the Democrats today? It won’t be long before they need all the help they can get. After all, they’re on the verge of losing one of their most lucrative financial draws and, well, being terribly inconvenienced:

w/ Bachmann retiring, I'm sure the #DNC & #DCCC are pissed bc all of their fundraising emails, designs & TP's will have to be redone. #tcot
