FLASHBACK: Bachmann Gushed Like Schoolgirl Over Bush In August
By Eric Kleefeld | bio

As you may know, the press and the bloggers are all abuzz today about Rep. Michele Bachmann's schoolgirl-crush moment with President Bush at the State of the Union address. In an encounter with Bush at the address, Bachmann leaned in for her ceremonial kiss on the cheek — and then proceeded to passionately kiss his cheek and then kept holding on to his shoulder, with all the glee of a teenybopper! (See video below.)

But guess what: We're here to report that this is most certainly not an isolated incident, and it seems likely that Bachmann's, um, feelings have been around for quite some time. Back in August, then-Congressional candidate Bachmann posted a blog entry about a campaign event with Bush, and she seemed every bit as smitten with him then. Bachmann wrote (emphasis ours):

President Bush and I did share our custards with Governor Pawlenty, Senator Coleman and Karl Rove. Every bit of custard was gone well before we arrived at the Jundt home!

As we were driving, President Bush was constantly waving to people along the streets. I was struck by the humility he has towards his role as President of the United States. He enjoys connecting with people, even ever so briefly, and having them feel they have made contact with the President of the United States. I turned around and looked out the back window. The expressions on people's faces were priceless. They were just ecstatic when they realized The President had just waved at them.

If they were ecstatic, I can not even put into words the honor and joy I felt from having the support of The President.

The rapture!

Incidentally, Bachmann today referenced a third, shall we say, charged encounter with the President. Commenting on yesterday's embrace, Bachmann told the Minneapolis Star Tribune: "He kissed me in Minnesota, too."
