As excuses go, this is pretty silly. Bachmann, a member of Congress, said some crazy things. Matthews had the wherewithal to follow up and inquire further, and Bachmann responded by saying even crazier things. That's not a "trap," it's an "interview." Besides, Bachmann was just as ridiculous yesterday when she told far-right blogger Hugh Hewitt, "Barack Obama's views are against America." I guess Hewitt ...

pandagon.net - we are the public option — by Pam Spaulding She’s a deranged cus, isn’t she? I don’t know who earns more Pinocchios, but Michele Bachmann or Robin Hayes.
