Never has someone done so much for a Democratic candidate, helping to break fundraising records.
We need more Michele Bachmanns!
That's right...let's heap praise on the woman who may have set the record for all-time Democratic fundraising.
In a 10-minute interview she provoked enough anger from all Americans, even people that had never even heard of Elwyn Tinklenberg (I wouldn't know him if he walked up to me and kissed me square on the lips) have donated more to him in 96 hours than he was able to raise during his entire campaign!
Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg said his campaign brought in $810,000 in less than 72 hours, an amount he could only have imagined before Bachmann's remarks. It took the former state transportation commissioner a year to raise $1 million before that, and Bachmann started the campaign's critical final month with almost four times as much cash as he had.

Using my trusty calculator, that's about $81,000 for every minute of vitriol that Bachmann spewed! $81,000 a minute!
Tinklenberg said more than 16,000 people from around the country have donated since Bachmann's appearance on Friday's "Hardball."

Republicans: Insert foot in mouth, insert cash in Democratic coffers.
She now says that "I made a misstatement. I said a comment that I would take back." Minnesota Star Tribune
I know, I sympathize. I've made 10-minute misstatements many times. I mean, her statement that "Absolutely, I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views" can be read in several different ways. Absolutely can sometimes mean maybe, or even "Hell, no." I know that when people ask me, "Do you like chocolate?" and I answer "Absolutely!" I sometimes mean, "No, chocolate makes me feel ill."
So let us praise Madame Bachmann, and thank her from on high for the stellar job that she has done.
I vote that we recruit Bachmann to make more statements about more candidates...book her on every bobbly head pundit show that there is.
We must not let any resource go unexploited!
