A nasty smear.
... And the train comes off the rails.
Wow. What a condescending and pathetic piece of journalism. These women Bachman and Palin are in the line of fire of Washington arent they!!!!
“...Rep. Bachmann is the Kim Kardashian of American politics...”
Except that KK is a bimbo and Bachmann is one of the more articulate members of Congress.
Ryan accomplished alot alright. He voted for TARP after saying he was against it. Bachmann said hell no, and stuck to her guns.

Michele Bachmann stirs talk of a GOP divided
I don’t know what latitude FR provides, but is it possible to stick an “Unsubstantiated Bile” warning on an article?
We watched all 3 speeches........Bachman was the only one that made sense.
Hmm, I guess the cries for civility only apply where they say it applies.
So did the Moonies re-acquire the Wash Times?
(Bio from http://bachmann.house.gov/Biography/
Elected in 2006, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is the first Republican woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota. In only her first term, Congresswoman Bachmann developed a reputation as a "principled reformer" who stays true to her conservative beliefs while pushing for real reform of the broken ways of Washington. And, her strong advocacy for her constituents earned her a second term in Congress in November 2008. She is a leading advocate for bipartisan earmark reform and tax relief and is a staunch opponent of wasteful government spending. She is among the leaders in the U.S. House pushing for increased energy exploration in the U.S. to provide much needed relief at the pump for hard-working Americans and put our nation on the path to energy independence.
Prior to serving in the U.S. Congress, Bachmann served in the Minnesota State Senate. She was elected to the Minnesota State Senate in 2000 where she championed the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. And, prior to that, Bachmann spent five years as a federal tax litigation attorney, working on hundreds of civil and criminal cases. That experience solidified Bachmann’s strong support for efforts to simplify the Tax Code and reduce tax burdens on family and small business budgets. Congresswoman Bachmann currently sits on the Financial Services Committee. This committee is tasked with the oversight of numerous financial sectors including housing, real estate and banking. This also gives the Congresswoman keen insight into the housing crisis and credit crunch, leading her to be a staunch opponent of the taxpayer-funded bailout of Wall Street. The 6th Congressional District of Minnesota contains parts of six counties, stretching from Stillwater past St. Cloud, including suburbs of the Twin Cities, which encompasses one of the nation’s largest financial services sectors, making Congresswoman Bachmann’s position on the Financial Services Committee particularly important.
Congresswoman Bachmann is a graduate of Anoka High School and Winona State University. Bachmann and her husband, Marcus, live in Stillwater where they own a small business mental health care practice that employs 42 people. The Bachmanns have five children, Lucas, Harrison, Elisa, Caroline, and Sophia. In addition, the Bachmanns have opened their home to 23 foster children, which has inspired Congresswoman Bachmann to become one of Congress’ leading advocates for foster and adopted children, earning her bipartisan praise for her efforts.
While this is a true statement for many of the nations young people (the real reason so many kids fail to graduate or graduate ignorant), it is not the defining feature of Bachmann supporters as this invective implies.
Just damn. Before yesterday Palin was the Kim Kardashian of politics.
They are the Kardashian twins.
Romney must be Fabio. Huck, Goober Pyle.
ROTFL!
The way to win a rigged game is simply not to play. She refuses to play by the establishment rules thus she wins.
Actually, that's "experience without wisdom". Continually doing something wrong does not make you more adept at doing it properly.
Harrah Michelle and the new patriotic movement!
