Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann is considering a bid for the presidency.
Bachmann is a leader of the Tea Party foolishness that has beclouded sensible political thought in this country. She epitomizes the kind of self-satisfied provacateur who thinks everything that comes from her mouth is an oracle, that her rationales, such as they are, for her political positions have a "QED" quality to them, as if blathering platitudes not only answers complicated questions but effectively ends the debate. She is allergic to nuance and hostile to argument. Please, let her run. Go Michelle. Nothing could better demonstate the limits of the Tea Party wordlview than the sustained glare of a presidential run.
