What's French for Michele Bachmann?

Michele Bachmann returned to the stage this week with her usual incendiary gusto.  With apologies to Paul McCartney for his lovely song and lyrics and with thanks to Daniel Hood for his excellent translation, we sing to the tune of "Michelle."

Michele, it's hell
hearing you spew out your hateful views,
Oh, Michele.
Michele, c'est enfer
écoutant à tú vomissant tien
vues odieux.
We've heard you, we've heard you, we've heard you
On gays and climate change
We wish that you would speak less
Until you do we're telling you so you'll understand

Michele, c'est enfer
écoutant à tú vomissant tien
vues odieux.
We need to, we need to, we need to,
We need to make you see
You sound like Joe McCarthy
When you accuse Hill's assistant of base treachery.

Please stop this. . .

We hope you, we hope you, we hope you
Will stop this bigotry
We want you gone from D.C.
Until it's true we're telling you so you'll understand
Michele, c'est enfer
écoutant à tú vomissant tien
vues odieux.
And we have said the only words we know that you'll understand
Oh, Michele.
