The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart appeared as a guest on Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor last night and ran down his take on GOP presidential candidates. While Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann got mention, more as a punchline — “If Sarah Palin doesn’t run, Michele Bachmann could definitely put on that blazer” — Tim Pawlenty got props for seeming “like a reasonable guy.” But, Stewart added, Pawlenty has left Minnesota in worse shape than did, say, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Conservative Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly noted on Thursday that Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin have snubbed the media over the last week — in particular his show. Bachmann, who in recent months has made multiple national cable appearances, has done none this week, according to her YouTube channel and a search of cable news websites. Bachmann went from six major media appearances to zero in the course of a week — the week following shootings in Tucson that some have said may have had something to do with violent rhetoric by the pair.

Rep. Keith Ellison weighed in late last week on the controversy surrounding the firing of National Public Radio’s Juan Williams after he told Fox’s Bill O’Reilly that he gets “worried” and “nervous” when he sees people in Muslim garb get on an airplane. Williams dishonored his own legacy, especially his work on the “Eyes on the Prize” documentary on the civil rights era, Ellison said, calling Williams’ remarks “ugly” and “bigoted.”

While Rep. Michele Bachmann says she’s not afraid of MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, it’s curious that her next big media appearance following that statement wasn’t Olbermann’s show but the friendlier Bill O’Reilly’s. Something else she’s not afraid of:…

Fergus Falls schools won’t show Obama speech live

Bowing to pressure from some parents in the district, the superintendent of schools in Fergus Falls is directing teachers not to show President Obama’s live “Back to School” speech to students next week. But while some call the speech unprecedented, in 1991 the roles were reversed: a Republican president was blasted by Democrats for the same type of address to students.
