>>> He did something similar when he took over Huckabee’s campaign and attacked Rush Limbaugh. >>>

Yep, and Huckster joined in with those attacks, and threw Hannity in there too. So we’ll see whether MB doubles down on this awfu awful display of poor judgement or if she reverses her decision. I like MB in congress, but she is not ready IMO for the big job.

To: C. Edmund Wright

I’ll have to come clean and admit I’ve always had reservations about Bachmann. In my gut, she’s always reminded me of Bob Barr—who was a local guy that let his ego get the best of him and melted down in his primary race with John Linder.

Barr jumped districts, thinking he could defeat a sitting GOP congressman John Linder in the primary. His initial theme was “John & I hold the same positions, so you should vote for me, because I’m a step up from Linder”. When that didn’t work, he went negative against Linder. When that didn’t work, he went nasty—running ads that were clearly outright lies against Linder, and making nasty verbal attacks in speeches that made you wonder “who is this guy, and did I ever really know him?”

Barr lost anyway, but he exposed himself as having a huge ego and a pretty slimy underside.

It may not be fair to compare Bachmann to Barr, but at this point in her career she strikes me as being errily similar to Barr in the mid-90s when he was leading the Clinton impeachment effort.
