1. Good!

The more she talks the more the public gets to see just how crazy she really is!

[bluerum]

2. And less time for sane programing or covering real issues. Honest to Hayzeus in heaven.

The country has lost it. Totally and without a doubt. Gonzo. Flipped. Bonkers.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

3. This scares me. Americans, with no compunction, voted in two imbeciles

Ronald Reagan, and GW Bush. What's one more idiot to them?

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. She is merely the 2011 version of 2007 Fred Thompson.

No worries, the money class isn't going to let her near the nomination.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

13. The moneyed class needs to have their @$$es kicked in, so that offers little consolation

Sigh. :(

4. I keep thinking about that line from the movie "The Andromeda Strain ..."

Dr. Jeremy Stone: "When the bomb goes off there'll be a thousand mutations! Andromeda will spread everywhere! They'll never be rid of it!"

If the media keep paying so much attention to Mrs. Crazypants ... we'll never be rid of her!

[babylonsister]

5. The rethugs' newest shiny object, and the m$m loves it. Nevermind

the issues that matter.
I predict she burns out, with her hubby's help.

[moksha]

10. I agree. She is a shiny object with a short shelf life.

I doubt she is even running mate material.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Well, sounds right!

Think she'll talk about her job programs?

[creeksneakers2]

7. Does anybody ever ask her

specifically what we would have had to cut from government to run it without incurring any future additional debt?

[CakeGrrl]

9. The MSM ask that? Not likely. It'd have to be during a debate

But even if the other GOP contenders want to knock her out, I'm not sure they'd want to open that door and have the question turned on them either.

[fujiyama]

8. Every time I see her

I'm reminded that I should work on trying to find employment in other countries...

[customerserviceguy]

11. They were figuring that she was going to win the Ames straw poll

But they didn't bet on Rick Perry's announcement this week. Oh well, maybe they'll salvage things by asking her how she feels about Perry jumping in right at this point, and they can get those looney-tunes eyes that she does for Newsweek.

[flamingdem]

15. She's done after Iowa, so the M$M has to exploit her now before it's just white males nt

[mwb970]

14. Here she is at the Iowa State Fair.

[trusty elf]

20. porn under a bad sign

[Inuca]

16. I hope that Ron Paul

wins today's silly pol because 1. even if I diasgree with 98% of what he says, I kind of like the way he sticks it to his R "friends" andmakes them uncomfortable, and 2. that would deflate the Bachman boomlet and make some of the interviews tomorrow actually amusing.

This being said, it's embarasisng how even these supposedly serious programs can waste time on her.

Edited to add one favorable thing about Bachman: she DOES agree to have these interviews (as opposed to you know who), and no, I don't think they will go gentle on her, whether she wins tonight or not.

[woo me with science]

27. Note how the media assiduoiusly avoids talking about him.

He was very close in votes. But they will not acknowledge him.

[underpants]

17. She is on all 5 of the shows - is that some kind of record?

:shrug:

[blkmusclmachine]

18. Who's the "liberal media," again?

:eyes:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Those Shows Will Have A Lot Of Egg On Their Face If She Loses The Straw Poll

[RichGirl]

21. Ridiculous amount of Kardashians on TV....

It's not about accurate news reporting...it's all about ratings. They are trying to get the largest demographic...lazy and braindead...who have nothing more interesting to do then stare at the screen. Maybe they can score Casey Anthony on with Bachman...crazy and evil!

[Tx4obama]

22. FIVE shows and only ONE democrat. That sucks! n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

23. I will watch ABC just see if Pawlenty and Bachmann chew each other up again.

Could be fun!

[66 dmhlt]

24. David "Raps-With-Rove" Gregory is a repubican shill

[ladywnch]

25. actually, I'm glad she won the Iowa primary....... since Iowa hasn't

hasn't elected a winner in there straw poll in YEARS......I don't even remember.....did they select Reagan in the straw poll?

Winning the Iowa straw poll is almost a kiss of death to a campaign.........the last several haven't even made their party's nominee.

GO IOWA/BACHMANN!

[Harmony Blue]

26. Agreed

Bachman appears to not know what to do when she is at the top her entire shtick hinges on being the underdog.

[high density]

28. On Meet the Press she was blamed Obama for the "uncertainty"

during the debt ceiling "debate," the crisis which was generated by the Republicans. And David Gregory just sat silently as he does. "Let me move on..."

[IggleDoer]

29. "it was like a punch to the gut"

Over and over and over
