Please, please, please let this happen. The new face of the GOP Leadership in the House?

[TheBigotBasher]

House Republicans look like they’ve largely been spared any uncomfortable leadership races as they cruise into their robust new majority, except for one little speed bump: Michele Bachmann.

The often fiery and always unpredictable Bachmann, a tea party favorite, is trying to make a contest out of the battle for the Republican Conference chairmanship, a job that is critical for setting the party’s message and is seen as a steppingstone to higher leadership positions.

The favorite is Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, and top Republicans are making it clear that he is the insider’s choice. Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia and outgoing Conference Chairman Mike Pence of Indiana already have endorsed Hensarling, sending a clear message that if Bachmann wants the job, she’s going to have to run an insurgent race for it.

4. She wants to be the person responsible for Republican messaging.

The DNC should pay her to.

2. Maybe I won't cancel my cable after all ...

... if there's going to be a good old fashioned GOP/Tea Circular Firing Squad for the next 2 years ... seeing Boner & Palin's mugs once in awhile might be worth the shits n' giggles that the others are going to provide.

3. Just seeing this lunatic trying to shape the GOP 2012 message

will be worth it.
