I’m no longer a Bachmann fan, but male politicians never get that kind of question. It’s more or less like BOR asking Palin to answer the charge that she’s stupid. That sort of thing is never, ever asked of men in politics—and yet it’s how our now two most prominent conservative women are cast even by Fox news.
Idiot Juan: Brit, are you saying that the government is going to send letters to Social Security recipients that you are not going to get your paycheck.

One of my top ten pet peeves, is calling unearned money “paychecks.”
Many people also call welfare checks Paychecks.
Just did a quick search on twitter and even people who don’t like Bachmann are outraged by that question.
