… and runs away.
Well, offhand I’m not sure what she could have said about “Second Amendment remedies” that wouldn’t have made her sound like a dangerous nutcase.
I’m betting on Reid, who two months ago looked like a dead man walking. Good work, Teabaggers!

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

If Democrats were any good at capitalizing on Republican folly, Michelle Bachmann would have been a one term Representative.
Ed,
Not so much. Bachmann's district is pretty solidly red. Cook classifies it as R + 7, in '08 her district went for McCain 53/45. I'll concede that the woman is a moonbat, but she's in a district where being a moonbat apparently works pretty well.
Her biggest fear has to be the 2010 Census results. According to my cousins in MN, if they lose a seat hers is the most likely one to disappear.

Ha ha! A procedure enshrined in and required by the Holy Constitution might kick her out of office. I'm sure she'll find some way to declare the Census UnAmerican and doubleplusungood.
