Glass 1/2 full or 1/2 empty...of batshit crazy? Pundits say Bachmann's positioning herself for VP.

Michele Bachmann gets out and tests the waters for her 'presidential' run

By David Neiwert



And yes, she really is running:

"The Iowa trip is part of a bigger picture. There's a national story line here," said Bachmann communications director Doug Sachtleben, virtually begging for national media coverage.

That kind of talk is usually a bank shot.

Over at Megyn Kelly's Fox News show yesterday, the "Power Panel" chewed it over -- and largely reached the same conclusion. Indeed, what seems likely is that Bachmann actually is running for vice-president -- she wants to position herself as part of a Palin-Bachmann 2012 ticket -- or potentially as Romney-Bachmann ticket.

1. So its gong to be Palin - Bachmann ticket

God people will be stupid enough to vote for them too.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. That's been my feeling all along

All you've got to do is spend 5 minutes on Free Republic to see how they feel about Romney...that's never going to happen, with or without Bachmann.

But Palin-Bachmann? That's been their dream team for a while.

[Liberal Gramma]

13. That's a horrifying possibility

I can't imagine those two dimwits running the country. What I can imagine is that if it happens, I need to find another country to live in.

16. Chances are they would start a war with what ever country you move to

Republican Administration = more war.

[neverforget]

2. definitely full of shit

[Botany]

4. Please run Michele

hiding in the bushes from teh gays

[Swamp Rat]

5. Bachmann's sieve is half full

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. They should get hats made like that, like the "Cheese Heads" but with feces instead of cheese.

Seriously, I'd applaud them for truthful labeling regardless of their political platform.

:rofl:

:toast:

9. She only went this way to stick it to the House Leadership

After she was turned down. She is really just power hungry.

[JBoy]

10. She represents the bat-shit crazy wing of the Tea Party.

Wind her up, maybe she'll achieve escape velocity.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Those two narcissistic prima donnas, Bachmann and Palin,

could never be on the same ticket together. They'd be beating each other over the head with a stiletto-heeled Manolo Blahnik over who was the hottest and most demented fundie wingnut mean grrrl.

12. Palin-Bachman

Carlin will probably come back for that, so I like it.

[AsahinaKimi]

14. Its bad enough Bachmann has some powers...

But as a Vice President, to possible President... well. The only way she would ever succeed is a stolen election, like George W. Bush. If that were the case, we would be in a world of scat.

This woman would lead this country right into her Armageddon fantasies and the climbing under a classroom table covering your head with a jacket would be laughable at best. She and a few other of the far right, are potentially the most dangerous people to our democracy, and our country's existence.

15. Popcorn Time!

Oh how fun it would be to watch President Obama and VP Biden debate Palin and Bachmann....

[Le Taz Hot]

17. Obama would debate Palin

and Bachmann would debate Biden. The Prez and VP will wipe the floor with them and the MSM will announce, in tandum that Palin/Bachmann CLEARLY won the debate.

[Major Hogwash]

18. The glass is 1/2 full of "Bear Whiz" beer.

Bear Whiz, because bears pee upstream!
Ahhh, the cool, refreshing taste of Bear Whiz beer.
Have one today.
Hell, don't be stingy, have two.
