What? Superman isn’t available? Maybe you idiots in Minnesota can get the Blue Man Group to seek office. Wouldn’t that be cool. Do the rest of us in other parts of the country a favor and stay away from the polls, or at least limit your fantasy picks to state offices. Jesse Ventura, Al Franken – what’s wrong with you people?

WHAT AN EMBARRASEMENT SHE IS FOR YOUR STATE AND OUR COUNTRY.

Bachmann would be an embarrassment, but the people elected her… AGAIN! I’d say the United States should be embarrassed by Minnesota. Is she vulnerable? Was Hitler in ‘32?

Nancy Schumacher has to realize the MN 6 DFL insiders control only a handful of votes, their own. Absent a candidate with chrisma and appeal, in the future as in the past an IP candidate without the IP endorsement can take enough of the neither-is-decent voter sentiment that Bachmann, by default, continues until redistricting. Nancy Schumacher is no dummy. Nancy Schumacher likely will not want to run another weak or problematic candidate with weak campaigning skills, a disorganized campaign that could not raise money until Bachmann went on Hardball, and little personal appeal.

But who’s she got?

Three people?

Huh? Who, Nancy?

Here’s a way to send Norman Home to Bauwston.

“The “Dollar a Day to Make Norm Go Away” campaign is being launched by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a newly formed group designed to get progressive candidates into elected office. But it’s getting a friendly push by Democracy for America, Howard Dean’s political arm, which will blast the petition to its more than one million members (PCCC will send to an additional 23,000).

The goal is two-fold: capitalize off of the brewing anger among Democrats over what’s happening in Minnesota while cleverly pushing up the incentives for the national Republican Party to abandon Coleman’s appeal effort.”

For the folks in the other Minnesota districts: It surely must be embarrassing to have Representative Bachmann’s ravings associated with your state. But I hope you will endure it with the stoicism and probity for which Minnesota is justly famous. The Loony Tunes Sixth provides a service to the rest of the country by electing a National Joke to the House. The nation needs comedy and laughter: The Loony Tunes Sixth provides us all with a ready-made punchline.

Moreover, Michelle Bachman provides the gold standard against which wackos can be accurately measured in other states. I have it on good authority that political scientists are on the verge of developing a definitive descriptive tool–the Bachmann Insanity Scale.
