Michele Bachmann chief of staff smears Colin Powell
Michele Marston, Michele Bachmann's chief of staff and campaign manager, dismissed Colin Powell's body slam of Michele Bachmann for her McCarthyesque comments last week. It was only a matter of time before that happened:

Marston also dismissed Powell’s comments, saying the gender confusion was evidence that Powell was reading off a talking points memo prepared by the Obama campaign. "I would venture a guess he hadn't seen the piece at all,'' she said.

1. Keep it up. She's going down hard, and it will be a great thing.
She's a clear and present danger to every decent American who values rational thinking.

See ya, Michelle.

3. You know Bachmann is out there when even Sarah Palin disses her

Speaking with reporters in Colorado yesterday, Palin said she does not agree with Rep. Michele Bachmann’s recent comments suggesting that some congressmen hold “anti-American views,” NBC/NJ’s Matthew E. Berger reports. “Well that's quite subjective,” she said of Bachmann’s comments. “I would think that anybody running and wanting to serve in Congress is quite pro-American because that's what the mission is, to better this country, so I would question the intent of that."

4. I bet this woman is crying herself to sleep at night blaming the liberal
media for her troubles.
