Keith Ellison on Michele Bachmann's rantings: "Psycho Talk"
from the MSP Star-Trib:

For months, Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has been an almost constant, outspoken presence on TV and radio talk shows, often lobbing rhetorical grenades that have delighted conservatives, infuriated liberals and raised her national profile far beyond Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District.

A few of Bachmann's zingers have backfired. But this week, one of her targets -- Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison -- fired back.

Bachmann started the row last week when she said during a radio interview that the controversial "flying imams" -- six Muslim men removed from a plane at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in a well-publicized incident in 2006 -- had come to the Twin Cities to attend Ellison's victory celebration after his initial election to Congress.

Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, replied Thursday that Bachmann was engaged in "psycho talk."

According to the transcript of an interview Bachmann gave to a San Francisco talk radio station on April 9, she said: "The imams, the imams, were actually attending, ah, Congressman Keith Ellison's victory celebration, when he won as a member of Congress." She then went on to detail the allegations made at the time about the behavior of the men. ..........(more)

4.  "Psycho Talk" should be the name of her inevitable talk show on Fox,
because "Bat-Shit Crazy Babble from Bachmann" is just too long.
