For a second, I could not believe my eyes. I saw a headline, or at least I thought I did, which went like this: "Pawlenty Questions Bachmann's Fitness." I rose out of my chair and exclaimed hallelujah, because here in the person of Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, was a Republican willing to say that Michele Bachmann was not qualified to be President; moreover, up to that very moment, not a single other Great Republican had been willing to say anything like this. But it was true, of course, it was true.

Richard Cohen is an angry untalented pooly closeted homosexual, still trading off the fact that he was for the Iraq war before he was against it. His articles speak for themselves, but I will take the opportunity to point out that, while the MSM frequently equate the two, the converse of this article would never appear in the New York Post.
They are equally misguided when they do the same thing with MSNBC and Fox News.

Obama is president.
Threfore, no one can question anyone running for the office...on terms of intelligence, leadership, morality, or background.
We have already accepted the lowest standard possible in a live human being...why debate anyone who MUST be superior to the Cretin-in-Chief just by definition?

However batty she may or may not be, she is nowhere near as batty as Richard Cohen.

I would think Debbie Wasserman-Schmuck would be the appropriate comparison. She makes even Cohen look sane (at least he can put two sentences together that end up making sense).

LOL, so I guess now only Richard Cohen approved GOP candidates need apply.

Nitwit Richard Cohen should have been writing columns like this about Zerobama in 2007.

Richard Cohen is an expert on what makes up “presidential material”? Who knew? I think he just doesn’t like women...if you know what I mean.

Perhaps she isn’t right for POYUS but she is absolutely right for V-POTUS and needs to continue her campaign. A Romney - Bachmann ticket may well be unbeatable.

They’re doing a remake of the Mel Gibson movie THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE. It’s about Richard Cohen and it’s called THE MAN WITHOUT A BRAIN.
