I’ve almost come to the conclusion that Michelle Bachmann is a good thing. She shows the true face of the wing-nut core of the GOP, in a live, breathing Congressman.

Oh, I’m absolutely of that opinion. However, it’s not really fair that any one State be stuck with her as a “representative” for any length of time. There should be a way to pass her around — draw straws or something.

It seems appropriate somehow. After all, she is a sort of white elephant <rimshot>

They just do a little better at keeping their mouths shut. And next to Bachmann, they look much more sane than they are.

She shows the true face of the wing-nut core of the GOP, in a live, breathing Congressman. Were she replaced by someone sane, it would far easier for people to think that the wing-nuts were just a marginal part of the modern conservative modern, much as liberals have to put up with pacifists and PETA and other small, fringe groups as somehow affiliated. But when a fire-breathing wing-nut is repeatedly elected and stays influential in the GOP, well… that means something.
