NEW YORK — Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace says he "messed up" by asking Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann whether she's a flake.

The talk show host posted the video apology after his "Fox News Sunday" interview with the Minnesota congresswoman, who formally announced her presidential bid Monday in Iowa.

Wallace said on the Fox show that Bachmann had a reputation in Washington for making questionable statements, noting she had called fellow members of Congress anti-American. He paused and asked her: "Are you a flake?"

Bachmann answered that she was a "serious person" and found insinuations that she was a flake to be "insulting."

I believe that Wallace was ordered to make this apology by his boss. So Bachmann is insulted. It goes with the territory.
.. I didn't see O'Rilley apoligizing for interrupting someone he interviewed over 20 times..Let's see that was the President. No that was not insulting. Just asking Bachmann if she was a flake..This is what "FOX News" is all about..

1. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....

All those "anchors" are nothing but mouth pieces for Ailes. And I don't think Bachmann is their first choice.

2. if Olbermann had asked the question, they would be calling for his head

and getting it

3. It was probably a "gotcha" question...

It was probably below the belt.

The apology no doubt came at the insistence of one Lord Roger Ailes.

All that said, Bachmann is far too thin skinned for the job to which she aspires. She and Lady Blah Blah are cut from the same bolt.
