Is it just me, or were Bachmann and Santorum trying to simultaneously take credit for things done in congress in the 90s while trying to make sure Newt (who, um, was ONLY the DAMNED SPEAKER) was part of the problem?

It was just you.;) You might be right about Santorum, but Bachmann wasn't elected to the House until 2006.

And Santorum's point that Bachmann hadn't "won" during that time, IE prevented either the bailouts, raising the debt ceiling, or Obamacare, didn't impress me. I doubt he could have done much better under those circumstances.

You may be right, I do sometimes confuse MB and RS. To me, they have the same strengths and the same weaknesses - and I think they are both off putting with their desperate snarkiness. Agree with their philosophy most of the time, but am not inspired to follow either across the street.
