Rep. Michele Bachmann is out with two new ads this week. Rumors that she might apologize for remarks she made on MSNBC’s “Hardball” insinuating that Sen. Barack Obama and certain members of Congress may have anti-American views were quelled when the first ad was released Friday.
In the ad, Bachmann says “I may not always get my words right, but I know that my heart is right. Because my heart is for you, for your children and for the blessings of liberty to remain for our great country.”
At the Washington Post, Chris Cizilla gives his take on the apology that wasn’t:
Why does the ad feel strange? Because Bachmann is trying to do two very different things at once. For those people who are aware of the “Hardball” incident, she wants to express remorse for what she said. For those people who have no idea about the “Hardball” imbroglio, Bachmann wants to make sure it stays that way and so makes no direct reference to why she would be apologizing for not always using the right words to explain herself.
Meanwhile, a second Bachmann ad debuted on Saturday, this one attacking El Tinklenberg from his days as transportation commissioner under Gov. Jesse Ventura. Bachmann takes Tinklenberg to task for “no-bid” contracts while running the department.

It seems obvious to any thinking person that Bachmann has managed to learn great make-up techniques and has perhaps even taken elocution lessons from Henry Higgins. She understands that the typical male constituent in her district thinks with their “southern organ” as opposed to using their brain. Consequently, she has been able to use her alleged good looks to appeal to the nether regions of her Minnesota constituents. In this, she is not unlike Palin who, in spite of having had 5 children, still manages to make her surface appear pleasant. It is precisely this reason why I believe that all males under 60 should not be allowed to vote without undergoing some sort of chemical castration prior to pulling the lever.
