Michele Bachmann will not go gently into the night.
The divisive four-term congresswoman is leaving Capitol Hill in January, but she has no intention of fading into post-congressional irrelevance.

Politico might suck, but this is comedy gold. Please bring your "foreign policy expertise" to the Republican Presidential debates Michele.

...of Sarah Palin's foreign policy white paper tweets. 
Kind of like Bush Intelligence.
On the one hand, 
but on the other 
were able to polish turds.
I so miss the 2008 campaign and the goofy loons like her and Palin. Please do run, Michele!!!
