The Glitterati Go Large

Nick Espinoza’s band of merry pranksters return to the Bachmann clinic in Minnesota. No glitter this time. Instead: street theater.

The full statement from the group is… worthwhile reading.

In an attempt to clear up the confusion, the group of “gay barbarians” approached the clinic earlier this morning in hopes to speak to Marcus. When the staff saw a horde of over 100 barbarians approaching, they locked the clinic doors.

If you’re not up on Bachmannalia, the “barbarians” are a reference to Marcus’s pre-campaign statement that children who could be converted to homosexuality were like “barbarians” who had to be “disciplined.”
