Politico is turning harder left by the day — and even they must know this story is fully contrived. If you read Politico carefully (with safety pin on nose firmly attached), you see they have two primary goals: (1) Puff Barack Obama, and (2) Savage Sarah Palin (or anyone, like Michele, who happens to align himself or herself with Sarah).
In short, Politico has become a predictable leftwing rag.

Respectfully, Bachmann has been a target of the left since before Sarah became governor of Alaska.
Her being smeared has nothing to do with Palin.
But your larger point is correct: Politico covers for Obama and smears Palin.
“Politico is turning harder left by the day — and even they must know this story is fully contrived.”
