That’s a good video, but I’ll have to get back to you on it. 😃

Griffin should also have asked Bachmann how was her trip to Iraq, and then told Bachmann about her own trip to Iraq. 'Cuz, ya know, Griffin actually went. 😃

Did I understand correctly ? Does it mean that Michele Bachmann confirmed that she is a bigot ? That, somewhere, there is a tape of that conversation ?

Oh, I’m pretty sure that tape has been destroyed.

They might be slow, but they’re surely not that stupid, right?

Right?

I mean…right?

The point is that Bachmann _accepted the premise of the question_, that she confirmed that she has no problem either being a bigot or being thought of as a bigot.

I would have thought her handlers/consultants/puppeteers would have covered that.
