If she is educated in Tax Law, she must have missed a few classes. Google Tom Cryer and maybe Sherry Peel Jackson for a education with a little truth thrown in.

Don’t underestimate Sarah Palin, as a dad of a couple ice skaters who have been all the way through Hockey, Speed Skating, Dance, Figures, and now for Disney on Ice, I understand a little better her exposure to real life.

I have been routinely amazed by the lunacy emanating from Bachmann’s brain. Tonight I decided it was time to see exactly where this loon was educated. Much to my surprise, Bachmann’s college education appears sound. As summarized on Wikipedia:

Undergraduate degree from Winona State University
J.D. degree from Oral Roberts University
LL.M. degree in tax law from the College of William and Mary’s Marshall-Wythe School of Law

How can this be? An apparently well-educated woman with two law degrees who demonstrates an absolute dearth of knowledge about law, history, government, economics, religion (other than Christian Evangelism), science……

Alec: Your comment posted at 12:04 pm references what Eric Kleefeld at Talking Points Memo has dubbed “The Bachmann Effect.”

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/03/beholdthe-bachmann-effect.php

“When Bachmann is out there talking about the issues in an adversarial setting, her opponents find themselves on a very unsure footing — mainly because they’re shocked and befuddled to hear what she’s saying.

“Check out these three examples, in reverse-chronological order:

“The first was from today’s Financial Services hearing, when she demanded an answer from Tim Geithner as to what the constitutional basis was for his actions in the bailout. The second is from a debate this past October with her Democratic opponent El Tinklenberg. And the third is from an appearance on Larry King Live during the Republican Convention, in a peculiar exchange with James Carville.”

I still remain skeptical of Bachmann, but I like her better than Palin. Palin is no good without rehearsed talking points and one-liners. She sounds like a soccer mom who’s out of her league when she attempts to defend conservative principles against Left wing accusations.

Palin schmalin, This Ron Paul chic likes Michele Bachmann. A reformed neocon is the best kind, and if you cross out anyone who previously supported the Iraq invasion, you cross out everybody. Maybe she woke up. I like her and she can spread the freedom message. You go girl. I like anyone who is willing to take on the Republican party confidently.
