A Knoxville, Tenn., TV station’s Web site credits Minnesota’s answer to Gov. Sarah Palin with this zinger on federal bailouts in the financial sector: “What’s next, Starbucks too big to fail?”

(Ironically, a Web ad for McDonald’s iced coffee runs side-by-side with her comment.)

One problem: After all her national media face time — from the famously extended State-of-the-Nation smooch she inflicted on President Bush to yet another appearance on “Larry King Live” last night — WBIR-TV still managed to mis-ID her as “Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of New Mexico.”

Video, and more, below the jump.

Baristas in her actual Minnesota congressional district would probably welcome news that Bachmann had moved to New Mexico — especially if she’d take her cavalier attitude toward their jobs with her.

Of the more than 600 shops on Starbucks’ to-close list, Minnesota ranks second in the nation with 27, behind only California. Two are in Blaine, where Palin and her running mate hold a rally today, and with one more each in Woodbury and Oak Park Heights, at least four of Minnesota’s boarded-up Starbucks are in Bachmann’s 6th Congressional District — the same number as in the entire state of New Mexico.

Bachmann made her remarks on the economy on the Bloomberg news channel. (Why is Bloomberg interviewing Michele Bachmann about the economy in the first place? Clearly there is a push on the part of GOP congressional leadership to put Bachmann in front of television cameras.)

Here’s the complete interview.
