Wallace apologized publicly for ASKING if Bachmann is a flake.
MY GOODNESS if you can’t forgive a person for THAT what can you forgive?!
You’re treating this as if it were a matter of personal manners or morality. It is not. It is the Propaganda Ministry’s drone feeling for a weakness, with the intent to do political damage, and it should be treated that way by alert observers, and by Rep. Bachmann.

The natural reaction to such a ASKED question would be anger and repulsion as to why would he ask a question like that.
Just asking.
