But when that story was hot, I soooo didn't care. I thought it was stupid. Candidates have to look good, and campaigns are expensive affairs. Who cares what he spent on his hair? So, why should I care about Michele Bachmann's hair and makeup bill? Well, I don't, not really. For one thing she's a woman, and the press and public would be merciless if she didn't look her best. Of course, her mantra of austerity, and willingness to see the burdens most heavily placed on the lower classes does give her a bit of a Marie Antoinette air. But so what. I already think her morals are suspect. Moralizers usually have the worst morals.
So the big news here, as far as I'm concerned, is that Michele Bachmann has a stylist. A female stylist. So our wishes of her having a gay stylist biding his time to wreck her coif will never be realized.

Yayyyyy! So she and Ms. Marcus will win the primary? That would be terrific news, because this crazy train would be a hoot in debates against Obama.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, cma6, 1) the migraine headache story was spread by the RIGHT, and 2) I don't think you know what ad hominem means. My "moralizers" statement comes close, but not quite. That would be a generalization, and it is borne out by her propensity to fudge facts, and try to cover her errors with other fudged facts.
ReplyDeleteMost of Bachmann's "attacks" are brought upon herself. In fact, she is only a known quantity BECAUSE of her propensity to say and do outrageous things. She has NO legislative record to speak of.
