So as long as the state is paying her [Bachmann] husband’s business for ‘training’ that’s okay?

She went on to explain that having those people gone to be trained took hours away from the clinic, so the business didn't really get any advantage from the govt money (or something like that)

That's a pretty lame response, IMO. In her defense, though, I doubt the $30K is much compared to how other congressmen/women have taken advantage of govt programs in their personal businesses.

MB’s appearance on Fox was entirely “lame” IMO.

Thanks for the further info—though I’ve never seen staff in training who weren’t, in that time, in training. Despite being something of a social conservative firebrand/lightning rod, Bachmann’s a go-along-get-along pol when it comes to doing favors for donors, taking and fighting for pork, etc..—as if her current run weren’t evidence enough for that.
