Rep. Michelle Bachmann Update
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
This goes to show how stupid the GOP is and how ignorant many members of congress really are. Rep. Michelle Bachmann is now playing the victim card here and now blames Chris Matthews for her own words. She didn't mean to say that Obama was Anti American and that all members of congress should be investigated, it was all Matthews fault by his repeating it over and over. She also goes on to say that she hasn't watch the show before and didn't expect to walk into a trap. For starters, either Michelle is lying or she is the stupidest person on the planet. No one in their right mind goes onto a show without research ahead of time. Either she has bad handlers and staffers or she is outright lying. Michelle knew what she was doing, she was given the GOP talking points and ran with them. She didn't expect the ground swell that would ensue and that her words would have raised over $750,000 for her opponent. Now she is crying foul and wants everyone to believe she was taken advantage of. Give me a break, everyone in congress and DC knows who Chris Matthews is, they know his show isn't a cakewalk and if you are not prepared then you will get burned. Also this isn't Bachmann's 1st time on tv, she has frequently made the talkshow rounds and loves the camera. I really hope the voters of Minnesota send this 1st term congresswoman packing.......

Speaking with the St. Cloud Times on Tuesday, Bachmann said she regretted suggesting that Barack Obama held “anti-American” views. Referencing Chris Matthews by name 12 times in a 6 minute interview, Bachmann portrayed herself as the victim of a clever ploy devised by the MSNBC host:
Chris Matthews laid a trap, and I walked into it. […]
Chris Matthews was using the term over and over, and I should not have used it. […]
This was Chris Matthews. I made a big mistake by going on the show. I never should have. […]
I just didn’t recognize — I never watched the Chris Matthews show before. I should have before I went on. I didn’t recognize that he would lay a trap the way that he did.
