One Lies, The Other Swears To It

The NYT looks at Michele Bachmann's friend Bradlee Dean.

They do get something out of being in each other’s orbit. Mr. Dean raises his profile with an association with a brand-name politician, and Mrs. Bachmann gets grass-roots followers who have been charged up on issues by Mr. Dean.

The tandem has won over people like Nate Kowalik, 35, of Plymouth, Minn., who is a big supporter of them both.

“When Bradlee says something on his show, it reinforces the message that she is trying to get out to the American voting public,” he said. “I just love it when one says something, and the other reiterates it.”

And he is such a fan of Mr. Dean’s ministry and radio show that he worked as a volunteer in summer 2009 on You Can Run’s street teams. “I like the fact that Bradlee and the others are so pro-family and that they reinforce purity and a healthy lifestyle,” Mr. Kowalik said.

Why the fuck it's in the "Fashion & Style" section is beyond us.
