Last night, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) joined Sean Hannity to talk about the hypocrisy of Tea Party demonization, the Democrats’ love affair with government intervention, and the Obama Administration’s support for net neutrality. The segment was solid, but in my opinion didn’t offer anything out of the ordinary. Mediaite’s Frances Martel, however, uses the interview as a springboard to ponder Bachmann’s role on the Right:
When she talks issues, Bachmann proves a formidable force within the Republican party– and that’s what makes it so difficult to understand precisely what her role is in the grand conservative revival mostly lead by amazingly talented orators and tamed agenda-spewing robots. What does the organized American right do with a more accomplished, more intelligent, more beautiful but insanely unreliable version of Sarah Palin? Bachmann is calm, collected, and convincing enough of the time to keep her House seat safe, but for every respectable performance on Fox News, there’s a call to armed rebellion or paranoid shouting about how some Democrat or another wants her dead. For now it seems that they are keeping her marginalized, limiting her to preaching to the choir on Hannity or being let out in public closely leashed to Sarah Palin. And there’s no telling whether she has it in her to polish up her act enough to convince the mainstream she’s not a nutcase.

Ryan/Bachman 2012. Sarah for Interior Energy Secretary.
She has the intestinal fortitude to stand up and say what’s right and point out what’s wrong. That’s all it takes to stand apart from the RINOs nowadays. It’s sad that there are so few examples of the kind of politician we need for this country.
Ryan already said no.
What “maisntream” is this idiot talking about?
Michelle Bachmann IS the mainstream of America. It's the lamestream media who are so far out of mainstream America, we gotta use a telescope just to see where they are coming from.
Oh yes, Dear Lord let that be the ticket.
Yes that is the left’s biggest problem with understanding anything....they think they are mainsteam when they are so far from the center it isn’t funny. I find nothing “nutty” about anything she says unless that is the left’s new term for the truth?
Love Michelle. Last week on a Christian radio station she said the American people need to get on their knees, confess their sins, and cry out to God to restore our nation. Amen.
