Chris Wallace interviews Michele Bachmann.
Posits the question quoted in the title of this post.
Jim Hoft (who commented it first) calls it, “Awful.”
Ed Morrissey wonders out loud:
We have yet to hear any serious coverage from the national media of Obama’s hundreds of gaffes while in the White House, just as we heard little of his “57 or 58 states” remark and other gaffes on the campaign trail….
I wonder what sort of world it would be like if Barak Obama ever got the same scrutiny as, say, anybody else on the planet.

In all seriousness though,
The Democrats run up trillions in debt without even reading their bills or submitting budgets. JE yoda starts numerous wars with .... objective? Is the laughingstock of whats left of the free world. Misery index piling up and his solution is to golf more and bow less.

Question: why do liberals have a problem with Rep. Bachmann suggesting that NATO airstrikes have killed 30k civilians when they spent the entire Bush Administration pissing and moaning about, according to the Lancet, U.S. forces killinf 100k, then 300k, then 1 million, then 1 bajillion Iraqi civilians?

A flake is one who sees a $14 trillion national debt and thinks there's nothing to worry about.

You know, I think he had already published his apology by the time this was published. Checking timestamps, that is not the case, but by the time many of us saw this story, the apology has been out there See Fox News
Michelle Malkin has the whole story up on her site, maybe linking over would be best.
Or is this another ironical post a la Jay Tea?

I dunno, I think that's a valid question to ask ANY politician. And if she can't handle THAT question, methinks her steel spine needs more tempering.

From "the top 10 stupidest things uttered by Michelle Bachmann" (a work in progress):
Although she'll fit right into the fringe corners of the world populated by Wizbangers -- yes, she's a flake.
Having flakes recognize that fact -- not so easy.

Bachmann seemed surprised, and maybe a little hurt, and no doubt thought she was in friendly territory. I do think that conservative women are getting mostly bad treatment.

Art, if you are trying to raise awareness and normalize the perception held by the majority of a minority group, that is exactly how you do it. You hold up examples of laudable achievements then point out that the minority in question is responsible.
It's why millions of white kids learned about George Washington Carver in the 70s.
