St. Cloud Times explodes on Bachmann

This seems to be the Republican playbook for 2010 and 2012. Toss rhetorical bombs, inflame the right wing base, and just be against everything.

It’s a good strategy to get 30-35% of the vote nationally, but it might work in a heavily red district like Bachmann’s. I hope they’re proud!

That is is pretty good appraisal of what I thought we wanted in a Congressperson… “crafting viable public policy” is in the job description. Seems to me that getting valid public works done in her district would be a better use of her time than going on Larry King but hey what do I know? I suppose her district just prefers a loudmouth over a diligent elected official. You get what you “vote” for and that is what they seem to have wanted. So much for Minnesotans being practical and pragmatic when it comes to the Mouth that Roared. .

It is amazing to me that this woman, one of very little substance and no facts to validate her crazy lunacy, gets this much press coverage. The Republicans need fewer extremist kooks like Ann Coulter, Rush Bimbo, and Michele Bachmann’s; they to understand what “teabagging” is in 2009 (check your urban dictionary- GEEZ!) & also need to quit whining about counting to find 316 or so invalid absentee ballots for Coleman, and worry about the over 5 million Minnesotans without representation. We need 2 senators- why isn’t Bachmann part of the solution instead of part of the problem?

Limelight is fun, Michele, but you aren’t a star. You represent some Minnesota Nice folks- for now, anyway. Why don’t you try to help us out HERE??

Seriously, people of Minnesota’s 6th District, what has Rep Bachmann done for you lately? Does it bother you at all that she is running around the country spewing utter nonsense, in an effort to get her face/name in the media as much as possible? She was yapping away to AM talk radio in San Francisco last week. How is that helpful to you folks? I am not a huge fan of my congressman, John Kline, but at least he seems to be going about his work and when I read about him it has something to do with some kind of legislation or event going on in the 2nd District.

Bachmann’s real goal is to get installed as the head of a conservative foundation or a Fox gig. She knows she has no future in elected office in Minnesota, she could never win for Governor or Senator. So she’s getting her profile up to move on to the next money maker.

People of the 6th District, you are being played for fools. Hope you like it.

[...] I love a good anti-Michele Bachmann rant. Something about her particular brand of crazy gets the haters (myself included) equally as frothy. But there’s plenty of that out there already. The St. Cloud Times editorial page takes a more measured approach and just straight up says she’s a terrible politician and is not serving her constituents. Still, you cannot possibly deny that she’s crazy. SHE CRAZY. (via MnIndy) [...]
