Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has taped an advertisement apologizing for her televised comments calling Barack Obama anti-American, according to a Republican source familiar with her campaign’s decision.

Bachmann campaign spokeswoman Michelle Marston said the campaign will be airing a new advertisement this afternoon, but declined to comment specifically on whether Bachmann would be apologizing in the spot.

“You’ll just have to wait and see,” Marston said.

The move comes as polling, both public and internal, shows Bachmann rapidly losing ground in her re-election bid. A University of Minnesota poll released today shows Bachmann trailing her Democratic opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, 45 to 43 percent. Those numbers are consistent with an automated SurveyUSA poll showing Bachmann trailing Tinklenberg, 47 to 44 percent.

1. Sweet poll numbers!

Hoping her 'apology' continues in the 'blame others' vein.

[angstlessk]

3. yeah, like...'I am so sorry I was duped into appearing on a show I have never seen

and then challenged, almost forced against my will, to say Obama is Anti American, which I did not mean, what I meant was I SUSPECT he is Anti American...

I am Michelle Bachman and I approve this message'

2. She's only apologizing because her comments are losing her the election.

15. Can there be any doubt?

I mean, really, these have been her beliefs for years and I have no doubts whatsoever she STILL thinks that liberals are anti-American. She just forgot she wasn't speaking to her rabid base.

4. Go ET!

11. thanks so much

I had successfully and completely forgotten about that song for 20 years or so. It's back now, and I may need counseling before it goes away again.

23. My kid used to listen to it all the time back in the day! n/t

7. so, there is room in her mouth

8. She didn't just call BO anti-American, she called for an investigation of all of congress.

I don't understand why all the stories on this seem to omit her most outrageous statement to Matthews, that the press needs to do an "expose" on anti-American (liberal) members of congress.

9. Cue Timbaland and One Republic:

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

10. Did she blame it on a black guy?

[dhpgetsit]

12. She's only sorry about hurting the Cons in the polls.

I relish in her sorrow!

[Winterblues]

13. I Am Sorry.............I ever went on that TV show

I Am Sorry ... I am falling in the polls. I Am Soooo Sorry....

14. Tinklenberg has picked up over a million bucks in donation since Bachman opened up her stupid

brain and allowed her mouth to repeat what her tiny brain was thinking.

[endthewar]

16. Will she call Obama to personally apologize to him?

Of course not.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. She can best apologize by dropping out of politics altogether

I believe in the two party system and the right of the people to choose, but Bachmann and her witch-hunting, anti-democratic views don't belong in government.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

18. “You’ll just have to wait and see.”

See what? She has a backwards B carved on her face?

[Vickers]

19. "I'm very, very, VERY sorry..."

"...that this went viral on YouTube."

[gratuitous]

22. "I want to apologize if anyone was offended"

Subtext: You whiny bunch of oversensitive little mama's boys.

So, will it be an unbelievable actual apology, or the non-apology apology wherein Michele doesn't actually apologize for her own actions?

20. Walking about in Katherine Harris' clown shoes...it don't work no mo. n/t
