Minnesotans of the 6th district like to send this woman back as comic relief – it certainly can’t be for her skills as a legislator. Praise, be — we need Michele Bachmann in the 2012 Presidential Clown Car! The batsh*ttery and entertainment level will make the GOP primaries a must-cover event.
Michele Bachmann, yes, Michele Bachmann is considering a presidential run, according to several of her aides who suddenly started talking about this with Minnesota reporters.
In fact, the Iowa native (Waterloo) will travel to her home state later this month to talk against the massive spending of you-know-who at a fundraiser for the Iowans for Tax Relief PAC in Des Moines.
Bachmann, now starting her third House term, has proven a media magnet like her like-minded fellow Republican conservative Sarah Palin; both are often quoted, often derisively. This fall Bachmann was targeted by numerous prominent Democrats but proved adept at raising both many dollars and votes.
…And even if Bachmann’s purported pondering does not result in presidential primary competetion with pal Palin in 2012, it will raise Bachmann’s national profile, not normally an easy thing to do for a representative from just any Sixth Congressional District.
Here’s a Blend rewind of some of Michele’s finest moments.
