Don't misunderestimate the power of influence, which Michelle Bachmann clearly has been recognized for, folks. Why, just this morning I was influenced to wipe my ass three times instead of two, as is customary. Ran a little low on dietary fiber yesterday I reckon.

Let's see what sort of company she's keeping: Julian Assange, Joe Biden, Gabrielle Giffords, Barack and Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Muqtada al-Sadr, Arianna Huffington, Oprah Winfrey, Sting, Justin Bieber .... Yeah, it figures; just another closet liberal.

(OT, how can Rain make it and Perfume not?)

Ted Nugent wrote the puff piece about Sarah Palin for Time a while back. maybe someone with more objectivity, say Sean Hannity, should write these tributes.

I would take the anti-abortionists more seriously if they offered anything whatsoever to support a woman who chooses to have the baby. Food stamps? Welfare? Daycare? Medicaid? Living wage? Pell grant? They love life while it's in the womb; take a breath and they're all "I'm praying for you".

Bachmann, the TP'ers and the Repubicans are the LensCrafters of Blind Faith.

Her TP supporters won't be impressed with recognition from TIME which is the leaden standard for both lame- and main-stream media. Although I admit she and it both operate at the fifth grade level.
