The loathing for Michele Bachmann flowed on The Ed Show on MSNBC on Wednesday night. Host Ed Schultz insisted Bachmann would make mischief for Mitt Romney: "Some of the things, Jonathan, she`s said on the campaign trail, I just don`t see her in any way, shape or form getting behind Mitt Romney."

Former Newsweek writer Jonathan Alter replied; "It doesn't matter whether she does. You know, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't she not standing for re-election to the House? Is it possible that finally we will be rid of this woman for good?"

Schultz said, "Well, I think -- I think she beat the deadline. I think she`s OK, that she could run for reelection in the House." Alter added, "Maybe that's why she got out." In fact, Bachmann has until June 5 to file for re-election in Minnesota, so that's no reason to drop out in the first week of January. Schultz wondered if she might take on first-term Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Michelle certainly seemed to really rile a lot of the libs. Which is but one of the reasons I really like her.

Mr. Ed the smart one:

Bachman is a very possible veep candidate. Another female on the ticket who is a strong conservative as well would be appealing to a lot of people.
