"....During yesterday's interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Wallace asked Bachmann an unusual question: "Are you a flake?" Wallace was essentially asking whether Bachmann, given her history of gaffes and her poor reputation among many in Washington, was actually a serious candidate. Bachmann was offended and said as much, but she remained calm and recited her résumé.
On its own, Wallace's question means little, but it typifies the attitude of the Washington establishment toward Bachmann...."

What a difference, in terms of perception, a day can make.
He's spent too much time at the Cool Table with the Snide One (Jon Stewart)--thinks he can be snide and cool, too.
Well, has Chris Wallace ever asked a similar question of another candidate?
If so, was that candidate a man?
Michele did a great interview. Chris Wallace is obviously a ROMNEY lover (Who is the real flake Chris?).
Actually Obama is an obvious “flake” but it goes right over Wallaces head..
OR Wallace hasn’t the balls to even mentality ENTERTAIN THAT THOUGHT..
Wallace IS A COWARD LIKE HIS DADDY..
Still waiting for the first journalist to ask Barrack Hussein “why some people think he’s a crazy, marxist, clueless hack. Oh, and for the love of Pete, why did you marry shelley?!”
I am not from Washington, bit I also have not made up my mind about Bachman.
I am impressed by some of her , but dissappointed in other things.She is Gaffe prone, is it her inexperience or is she simply not ready for prime time.
fox noos sunday chipmunk was rude.
I wish she had had the moxie to respond to Wallace’s “Are you a flake?” with “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
She should've said something like, "Well, Chris, I guess by DemocRAT standards I probably am somewhat of a flake. I don't believe you can spend your way out of a recession. I don't believe you can encourage business growth by increasing taxes and government intrustion. I don't think it's wise to send your military into every country that mistreats its citizens. And I don't think the answer to our health care problem is more government involvement in our health care system."
Consider this question, OBE.
She made a big one today

My personal theory is that Wallace believed he could ‘lump’ her in with Christine O’Donnell (Tea Party, Flake, Witch,etc.) After all, any GOP woman must be a Christine O’Donnell! And she was a FLAKE that will keep coming back to haunt the Tea Party forever!!

or “Do you still hang out in gay bars?”
Well, Wallace justified his question saying some people say..."your a flake". Well you've just said Obama is a Flake so I'm wondering when Chris Wallace will ask Obama "Are you (Obama) a Flake".
Guess I should not hold my breath.
Bachmann’s repsonse should’ve been to ask Sissy Chrissy, “when did you stop beating your wife?”
He’ll never ask a man if “he’s a flake.” He was way out of line and I hope his career suffers for it.
