Don't underestimate Michele Bachmann, Taibbi warns

Illustration by Victor Juhasz


For the current issue of Rolling Stone, Matt Taibbi has written a great piece on Michele Bachmann, the comely and cunning Minnesota Congresswoman running for the GOP presidential nomination. The article, Michele Bachmann's Holy War, is both funny and frightening. Taibbi quotes Ezra Klein (who nailing it) half-jokingly said, "Bachmann is the candidate Sarah Palin was supposed to be." The current crop of Republicans running for the 2012 nomination would be foolish to underestimate her. For anyone following the 2012 presidential race, this is a must-read.
