I have to agree. The proper response to any media question that essentially repeats Democrat talking points is to first, make light of it (displaying both a genial nature and confidence in yourself), and then, turn it around against your political opponents.

In politics, self-pity and a thin skin are deadly defects. It's not "survivable", unless you're Barack Obama and the news media think you're Zeus and defend you like Spartans.

“essentially repeats Democrat talking points:

It wasn’t just dem talking points. That perception of bachmann came from all over a wide spectrum. THAT is why it wa CRITICAL that she respond without sounding as flakey as she had throughout the rest of the entire interview. She didn’t do it.
