There is a calmness about Michele Bachmann. She is a thoughtful and true conservative.
No kidding, she is simply imperturbable, steady, mind fixed upon the salient issues, and has NO pompous pride or narcissistic self reflection.
Chris Matthews used to have her on his show all the time, because he couldn't stand her --- that's how I got to be familiar with her, and I was very impressed with how she was totally impervious to all his attempts to ridicule & lampoon her --- all his attempts to rile her became a reflection upon his own vileness, LOL
The ONLY time I've ever seen anything remotely "catty" was so utterly unexpected, and it was SO funny, so very very very funny --- I can't remember when I've laughed so hard.
Rep. Michele Bachmann is the ONLY individual currently incarnate who is so fearless that she directly inquired of Mr. Matthews something like, "And how's that tingle up your leg now, Chris???"
It was SO extraordinary, LOL!!
