Election '12: CNN's John King dumbed down the GOP debate with his "deep dish or thin crust?" questions. Now, Fox News' Chris Wallace asks Michele Bachmann, "Are you a flake?" What she is is a heavyweight.
How should a presidential candidate handle a snide, moronic question completely removed from the issues of the day? If you're Rep. Bachmann, you let the facts expose the questioner's stupidity. "I'm not only a lawyer," she told Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "I have a post-doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary. I've worked in serious scholarship and worked in the United States federal tax court. My husband and I raised five kids. We've raised 23 foster children."
She went on: "We've applied ourselves to education reform. We started a charter school for at-risk kids. I've also been a state senator and a member of the United States Congress for five years. I've been very active in our business. As a job creator, I understand job creation, but also I've been leading actively the movement in Washington, D.C., with those who are affiliated with fiscal reform."
Bachmann has undeniably electrified an oftentimes disappointing GOP presidential contest with fiery, principled statements. So instead of treating her seriously, Mike Wallace's son asks the outrageous, out-of-left-field question, "Are you a flake?" Within a day he apologized.
There was nothing flaky about Bachmann being the very first in Congress to introduce a complete repeal of ObamaCare, going after what in the June 13 CNN debate she called "the symbol and the signature issue of President Obama during his entire tenure."

That whole spectacle is ridiculous. I watched the Hannity interview and to me she was more of a cheerleader. Her voice raises and youd think pom poms are coming next when she says. Obama is going to be a one term President! Then she proceeds to tell Hannity they must be scared of me. I just dont get it yet. I feel there is something missing still. Sigh! It will all work out in the coming months.
Any public apology to Gov. Palin for Rollins’ smear?

Good for her.
A not a teleprompter in sight.
You libs suck. You’re going down in 2012 and I’m going to be laughing and smiling as happens. :)
Im going to get flamed, arent I????
Im going to get flamed, arent I????
I’m totally fed up with the way conservative women politicians are treated.
Remember this tweet from disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner?
May 28: “Thanks to all my new followers im drawing close to Bachmann. #ScrappyChasingCrazy”
This guy Weiner is a REAL flake with a serious psychological problem which he is now claiming he is seeking therapy for.
Yet HE was the one smearing Bachmann as a nut.
It’s no different than the mainstream media. If one were to turn over the slimy rocks where reporters from the NYT and WaPo and the networks live, we would find a lot of them like Weiner and yet trying their hardest to smear Bachmann as a nut.
And there, you have it.
Stop it please. She told Rollin to stop his smear on Governor Palin
a post-doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary. I’ve worked in serious scholarship and worked in the United States federal tax court. My husband and I raised five kids. We’ve raised 23 foster children.”
Cheer leader? What school did you attend? This is part of a successful resume
Would Chris follow up with sense you realize we have a Oil Supply problem are you a hypocrite for releasing oil reserves even though as a Senator you were opposed and sense we have a supply problem why are you blocking jobs and the oil production would do to the supply problem.
Bombed, bashed, and buried bump.
Brit and Juan were doing a bit of a put down of her too on BOR’s show earlier....I had to shut if off.
Bachmann is the most conservative candidate in the race. She deserves our support not ridicule from the peanut gallery. Your sexism shows.
LOL. Knew it was coming. I give her her resume! Its brilliant, just not loving her yet. It eats at me but it is not there. Oh and I went to Texas Tech in Lubbock and am raising 3 boys.
If that is what you want to call it, fine. I am a mom of three boys and have no problem with women.
LOL... Brace for incoming from the PDS’ers.
Either way it proves we are the only ones left who read stuff. Even editors can't be bothered.
