If Bachmann were a Democratic candidate for POTUS, rest assured this would never have been broadcast.
The bottom-line is this: If Bachmann wants to be taken seriously, she unfortunately needs to minimize these comments even if they were obviously made in jest.
That being said, I really hope Bachmann drops out soon so we can stop wasting resources on her and focus on kicking BHO's ass to the curb.
This is one instance where I'll agree with you about the "mainstream media". Where they got it wrong was that Bachmann and her cronies/supporters were
laughing about the comments. I'd be willing to bet that those who lost property or loved ones in this disaster weren't laughing, nor are they appreciative of someone, much less a renowned U. S. Representative, making light of their situation. The media got it wrong, that's for sure, but Bachmann and her ilk were way out of line with their feeble attempt at humor. I am really enjoying her stay at the top level of the Republican elite, though. It shows the rest of the country what a bunch of idiotic nut-jobs they and their supporters really are.
