On behalf of all Minnesotans...

... I would like to apologize to the world for Michele Bachmann. Her latest:

"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it is an interesting coincidence."

The president during that epidemic was Gerald Ford. I think the Democratic leadership must have made a decision not to vigorously challenge her last election so that she could stay in office as a recurring embarassment to the Republicans.
