By the way, here is one of my favorite cartoons. It's a little old, so remember to envision two more podiums: "Pro-Obomneycare" and "Anti-Obomneycare".

They may be making you angry but they are not accomplishing anything else.

LOL. Typo in post hardly equates with the aforementioned syntactical butchery in an official letter to Main Justice.
In any event, mea culpa.
It's hard to miss Donna Brazile and Howard Dean praising Palin if you want to use that idiotic argument.
Karma is a bitch and it is about ready to come back on those that use these sort of sleazebag tactics.
Only in your world do two wrongs make a right.
“They may be making you angry but they are not accomplishing anything else.”
Well, LLS...at least they aren’t attacking the substance of my observations. Just calling me a “left wing English professor”. Can you imagine that? I don’t know whether I should be more insulted about being called an English professor or left wing. I’ll have to sleep on that one. LOL
This letter reads like it was written by an attorney you might find working for the IRS. That, of course, is exactly Rep. Bachmann’s background.
Thanks for posting my bona fides, ansel12. Of course, some of them won’t believe it. They will go to their grave believing I am a Soviet agent. They are still looking for “my blog”. If you run across it would you freepmail me the link? LOL
;)
“This letter reads like it was written by an attorney you might find working for the IRS. That, of course, is exactly Rep. Bachmann’s background.”
That was exactly my thought. I have known quite a few IRS attorneys over the years and, with one exception (and this exception left the IRS to become an AUSA) the IRS attorneys I have encountered are not the brightest bulbs in the federal orbit. Neither, from what I can glean, is Bachmann.

I’ve been pretty free about posting my doubts about Bachmann lately, but this post is not particularly helpful. I’m sorry to say it, but picking on her grammar just makes you look nit-picky and small. Your first point about the ethics and impropriety of writing a letter like this for a big campaign contributor are much more important in my book. You undercut the relevant point of this story with the grammar analysis.
What is the wrong?
Sorry, Jess. But I think grammar and clarity of expression are very important especially in official correspondence between a Congressman and the Department of Justice. I am not criticizing her for typos in emails or posts on the internet or twitter. This was an official letter in a very important case. It was very poorly written. ANd that is not inconsequential.
I want a President who can express himself (or herself) well, because the power of the Presidency is principally to persuade.
I did not hit the ethics as hard because that has already been the subject of numerous posts here.
The likely hood that she actually read, much less wrote this letter herself is less than average at best.
By the way, I am pretty certain that BHO couldn’t write his name in the snow!
OK. Let me put it this way. If your purpose was to persuade her followers to abandon ship, this is not going to do it. I have significant doubts about her and I just saw this as petty. If I do, they certainly will. On the other hand, if your purpose was just to sing to the choir, then I guess you accomplished your mission.
That’s right. A proud “Palinista.” You did a huge disservice with your post. You stooped to their level. Idiot.
What is her record in that area, is it strong?
Is that the, “it was in Hillary’s handwriting joke”?
Never said he was leftwing, only that he makes Palin supporters look bad. We’re better than the crap he posted.
Don’t post to me.
thanks bud. great example of an alinski ad hominem. innuendo, guilt by association, even bringing out the grammar police.
i think i’ll write check for michele. thanks again for the tip.
