Take what "to the bank" Rep. Bachmann?

Representative Michele Bachmann has done well so far in the GOP presidential contest by unflinchingly stating her positions on issues that resonate with the loudest factions of the Republican Party. She is an avid Tea Party-er, she does not support a woman’s right to choose, she hates the landmark health care law passed under President Obama and she has characterized earmarks as “part of the root problem with Washington's spending addiction." She has told us that as president, she will repeal the recently passed healthcare law and that we “can take that to the bank.”

My fifth-grade self was embarrassed by Cong. Michele Bachmann’s most recent, um, retelling of American history: that the battles of Lexington and Concord took place in New Hampshire, where Bachmann was speaking at the time, instead of their actual, factual location of Massachusetts.

Ever since the midterm elections, we've been hearing Cong. Michele Bachmann tout her new initiative aimed at reminding her fellow GOPers how to govern: a weekly Constitution class, featuring guest lecturers such as the evangelical conservative activist David Barton.

Michele Bachmann keynoted the Smart Girl Summit last night. And honestly? After a day of some real speechifying, she was kind of a letdown.

The Smart Girls Summit is not a Republican gathering. It's decidedly Tea Party. And in a movement defined primarily by angry men, these women don't seem to fit.

The second annual Smart Girl Summit is taking place right now in our nation's capital, and we thought that sounded like fun. Personally, I love smart girls -- they grow up to be smart women. Smart women change the world.

I know it’s Friday, but I’m afraid we have some sad news to share: Michele Bachmann’s “Jim the Election Guy” – aka, Beau the Actor – has left the scene after not even a month on air. Really, it’s heart-wrenching: we were just getting to know this fake, non-Minnesotan’s smears and attacks! Now, he’s gone to the political ad dustbin in the sky.

6 times Michele Bachmann's statements were called "False." And 5 times she earned a "Pants on Fire" rating. So that means statistically, when Michele Bachmann is speaking, you have a little more than a 50% chance she's wrong. And a little less than a 50% that she's concocted her story entirely out of duct tape and unicorn dust.

Michele Bachmann in Trouble in Minnesota

I can tell you that Michele Bachmann is in trouble. Trouble. And you wonder, because you haven't heard anything lately, how could she be in trouble? If she'd called someone a communist, surely, it would be on national TV. And it would. But the reason she's in Trouble is because what she did matters in Minnesota. And that's all that counts.

Bachmann is going after Tarryl's record. It's a real stretch, considering that in the state House Tarryl has promoted better public education, job creation, and policies that support Minnesota's working families. The Bachmann camp is throwing all kinds of slander, but none of it's going to stick. Is Tarryl going to let these attacks go unchallenged?

Here we go ladies and gentlemen; the fight for Minnesota's sixth congressional district is officially on. Michele Bachmann, the champion of the Tea Party Caucus, defender of the radical right, and leader of all things anti-choice has released her first ad attacking EMILY's List-endorsed candidate Tarryl Clark. It is no surprise that the ad targets fiscally responsible, results-focused Tarryl, and promises more attack ads "coming soon."

I never thought I'd say this, but I am so proud to be in Michele Bachmann's campaign literature. Yes, that's right -- proud. You see, EMILY's List is in good, good company, and Michele Bachmann -- well, she's running scared, though her fear hasn't curtailed her outrageousness one bit.

Just what is going on in Missouri? We know that Secretary of State Robin Carnahan is preparing for the upcoming August 3rd primaries. After all, as the state’s top elections official, Carnahan implemented Missouri’s first statewide voter registration system, created the Missouri Voting Rights Center, and launched an interactive election results website.

Who says today's GOP running out of ideas? Cong. Michele Bachmann has a fantastic new agenda: "I think all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that has gone on." Michele unveiled this compelling plan at a convention for young Republicans. And really, what could be more pressing than endless partisan investigations and politically motivated witch-hunts?

Michele Bachmann wrote an opinion piece in Politico entitled, "Thank you, Sarah Palin," in which she details just how much she appreciates the fundraising efforts Palin has undergone to help her keep her seat this November. I agree with Michele that Palin's "effect on all aspects of politics shouldn’t be undersold" and know exactly what she means when she writes, "my race wasn’t the only race that Palin worked hard to raise money for."

Michele Bachman went to bat for BP -- becoming the company's most vocal advocate and displaying a truly shocking -- even for her -- disregard for American families and their tax dollars.
