While we’re on the subject, I’m calling dibs on a Political Spectrum Sandwich — Peggy Noonan & Maureen Dowd. Yowza 😃 ---

Oooohhh, bad luck, man. Those two were booked months ago. We have an opening for a threesome with Mary Matalin and James Carville. We could squeeze you in. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I have to say, I’m not seeing it—and I’ve grudgingly conceded a biological response to [the physical appearances of] Sarah Palin and Michelle Malkin, so I trust it isn’t purely a partisan aversion. I think she may be one of those people who look better in live action than they do in still photographs. I thought she was much more attractive in the clip where she was questioning Geithner and Bernanke than in any of the still photos I’ve seen, though she is still an attractive woman even in those. Personally, I think she’s more attractive even than Palin. > [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Bachman reminds me a lot of Katherine Harris, which does not weigh in her favor. Yeah, a Google search turns up lots of photos where her hair is done in a way similar to Harris’. I don’t think she really looks that much like Harris, but with her hair styled that way it’s an easy inference to draw. P.S. - According to [this article](http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/19/pub-michele-bachmann/) on Fox News online, she looks to keep her seat in Congress for a long time. ---

Fox News thinks a Republican is going to be re-elected in a little more than a year and a half? Stop the presses! ---

Um, if you look close enough, that’s my name in the registry… called dibs lonnnng time ago. 🆒 But some queue-jumper pulled a fast one and all you’re offering is Matalin/Carville, I think I’ll take a pass – in favor of some hot Reno/Albright action. ---

> [@C3](#): > > I wish the Republicans would come up with some attractive men, so that those of use who are so inclined could muse about whether or not we’d like to fuck them. Seriously. It’s high time. But if you think about it, most prominent Republican men have had at least two wives, so they must be at least slightly fuckable, when you factor in the money. ---

> [@Monster104](#): > > This. It seems quite clear to me that she’s calling for Minnesotan’s to know the issues, and be politically active in opposing what she believes is bad policy (the “energy tax”). It’s not sedition in the least. > > I can’t believe someone needed to misrepresent what Bachmann was saying in order to pit her…what, there’s not enough genuinely crazy comments for you to pit? Or are they already all taken? Bullshit. What you’re talking about is just deniability she’s built into her statement. She may be crazy, but she’s not stupid. She knows EXACTLY how the fringier fringe will interpret her words: literally. ---
