MN-06 Dem Challenger El Tinklenburg gets $40,000 in donations in 4 hours.

You guys think she's better looking than Palin? I think she is... maybe I'm attracted to crazies.

Have you ever seen her without makeup? She's hideous.

Palin is much better looking.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Think she's regretting going on Hardball now?

Almost certainly not.  Bachmann is clearly the type of culture warrior who firmly believes the garbage she spews, and would rather lose and be right than be something she isn't and win.

True enough... I think she definitely takes the cake on delusional, though.. she is obsessed with George W. Bush.. but claims her opponent is more like him than she is.

Then she claimed on national TV that Iran planned to take over Iraq and subdivide into 3 nations and turn it into an Al Queda training ground... something she apparently pulled straight out of her ass..

And several years ago she was caught hiding in the bushes at a pro-gay marriage rally at the capitol in St. Paul.

She also used public funds to open a Christian charter school... I believe it was shut down by the state.

Keeping to your principles is good... when they're actually principles and not just fantastical delusions.

I'd feel very dirty afterwards but I most certainly would.

Just because you disagree with her principles doesn't make her a nut.  Michele Bachmann is a very intelligent person who is passionate about her beliefs.  And because she was smart and built up a huge campaign warchest when her race wasn't competative, she'll be able to survive this incident.

If that's true, she's even stupider than she seemed. Any good culture warrior should know that you can't do battle if you don't keep your job.

If she knew her words would drive $2 million to her opponent, she would have saved it for Hannity.

I admit, I don't know much of her biography. What indicates that she is "very intelligent"?

[Spaghetti Cat]

I consider anyone who has to financially support themselves from thirteen yet still manages to get a JD and a LLM in Tax law a very intelligent person.

Man, we could possibly end up with a 7-1 Dem delegation after this year. Remember how we were "trending Republican"?

Bachmann committing political suicide isn't really part of any trend

[Aizen]

Worthless nutty bitch. I look forward to her political demise.

[The Dowager Mod]

HAHA here she is in the bushes!

...Is that supposed to be the apology ad? 'Cause I didn't hear an apology.

It's the same thing you do when you get in a fight with your girlfriend over something stupid.

I'm sorry if you interpreted my comments that way.

[Spaghetti Cat]

while I don't think Tinklenburg's ad slammed Bachmann very hard, it wasn't bad.  I think Bachmann's "apology ad" was effective though.
