Jane Devin: Bachmann Backpedals From "Anti-American" Comment, Blames Media
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — When God told Michele Bachmann to run for office so that she could play a part in saving traditional marriage and defeating radical Islam, she and her husband fasted and prayed for three days to make sure that was indeed His will.

News Hounds — On last night’s O’Reilly Factor (10/7/09), Michele Bachmann returned from whatever planet she normally resides on to serve as O’Reilly’s ACORN-basher of the day (specifically, how ACORN might have somehow wrested the Senate win away from Norm Coleman to give it to Al Franken), to accuse NBC of being her “personal stalkers,” and to explain why left-wingers don’t like her – and the reason isn’t because she hears voices in her head. With video. O’Reilly began by noting that ACORN registered about 43,000 voters in Minnesota and “that is raising some suspicion of fraud.” He claimed that Governor Tim Pawlenty has launched an investigation into ACORN’s use of funds, and said ...

George Will goes gaga for Bachmann
The Reaction — By Mustang Bobby. In the past I've had a modicum of respect for George F. Will, even if he does come across as a humorless New England boarding school English teacher in need of a high colonic.

But today he rises to the defense of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), the highly entertaining whirling ...
