And former half-term Alaska Gov. Palin does have rather extreme views, including (possibly) the delusion that she's this century's Queen Esther of Biblical fame. It probably is fair to say that Rep. Bachmann has read a bit more of those tracts & so forth than ex-Gov. Palin, may have a more coherently delusional (or delusionally coherent) political/religious view of these United Snakes, & may be better able to express said views. Not sure if Bachmann's ever attended any pray-away-the-demons events at whichever church she's attending this wk., or at the one she attended for many yrs. before suddenly switching, however.The Transformation of Michele Bachmann
Today's must-read piece: Ryan Lizza profiles Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN).
"Bachmann belongs to a generation of Christian conservatives whose views have been shaped by institutions, tracts, and leaders not commonly known to secular Americans, or even to most Christians. Her campaign is going to be a conversation about a set of beliefs more extreme than those of any American politician of her stature, including Sarah Palin, to whom she is inevitably compared."
Hey, maybe if we read the New Yorker piece we could get some idea.
Also: Bachmann piece in Tina Brown's Newsweek this wk. Should provide a contrasting comparison of quality, standard & style.
Holy crap, crazier looking than usual:
