The day the president came to Minnesota to stump for first-time congressional candidate Michele Bachmann, she let her mother talk her into “dressing like a lady would have in the 1940s or 1950s — that is, all dolled up.”

“I listened to my mother; that’s what a dutiful daughter always does," the Republican presidential hopeful writes in her new book, “Core of Conviction," released on Monday. Which is how she wound up wearing a “deeply discounted” pink suit with matching pumps, purse and “over-the-top” gloves to meet George W. Bush in 2006. “Lose the gloves," he told her in the limo, so she wouldn’t look silly in a photo of the two of them enjoying a summer treat of frozen custard from a roadside stand.

Her detailed account of that moment — her disappointment that his car didn’t seem quite as big inside as she had expected, and her giddy disbelief that she was in the position of handing off her custard cup to Karl Rove — makes this the rare campaign bio in which the candidate comes off as more human than carefully humanized. It’s a “girlier” book than most female candidates would dare, offering glimpses of her worrying about her looks, shyly practicing cheers with the blinds drawn and dateless on prom night, maybe because she didn’t “fool around."

I hope she's sitting in the bleachers as I lurk underneath.
Just like Bluto.

3. She's an embarrassment to the United States Congress

Is she running for her office in the House again?

4. She can't run for that and President at the same time.

But if she gets knocked out of the Presidential race, she might.

8. Are you sure she can't run for Congress and the Presidency simultaneously?

6. The thing is those outfits from Animal House were inspired by Jackie Kennedy

As the movie takes place in the early 60s when JFK had just been elected.

And porn star, Mimi Miyagi, beat her to the punch when she ran as a republican in Nevada's governor race several years ago.
