CHARLESTON, S.C.—Michele Bachmann downplayed tensions with Sarah Palin here Wednesday morning.

“They want to see two girls come together and have a mud wrestling fight,” the Minnesota congresswoman said. “And I’m not going to give it to ‘em.”

The first question at a morning rally came from a woman who wanted to know if media reports of divisions between the two tea party darlings are true.

She said she has “great respect” for Palin.

“This race is wide open,” Bachmann told the crowd of more than 200. “We can accommodate all the candidates who want to come in. We’re going to stick together, and we’re going to see this thing through.”

I guess they'd make a similar snarky comment about 'two progressive darlings' ... yeah right.

Well, seriously now... do the progressives actually have "darlings?" "Bovines" would be more appropriate.

[GSWarrior]

Literally or figuratively?

[WKUHilltopper]

Ewwwww...

When Michael Moore, Nancy Pelousy, Dingyharry, JoeB, n0bama, etc. etc. would agree with you on something, you may want to reconsider your opinion.

*i feel so guilty*

you'll get over it    

[Jasper]

I'm in.

Are tickets available?

[driftdiver]

yeah yeah yeah, I suppose you’d prefer if men just ignored ya

[ScottinVA]

I have to admit i would enjoy that too *i feel so guilty*

And shame on me for allowing that imagery to enter my brain... Shaaaaaame.

All wagers in Quatloos only.

[RummyChick]

She is going to leave it to her hatchet man Rollins to whisper things in the media’s ear about Palin.

[danran72]

Yea...I like the Jello idea better too.

[ScottinVA]

The metrosexual lefty men would probably rather see more photos of Anthony Weiner...

...wrestling himself.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Huh, huh...huh, huh...

[GSWarrior]

Obviously Sarah would win.

This is an outrage. People may ideate Bachmann based on her appearance - BO

... I guess they'd make a similar snarky comment about 'two progressive darlings' ...

That is entirely hypothetical. You can't name two progressive politicians that even lefties would want to see mud wrestle. OK, let me amend that, you can't name to female progressives that lefties would want to see mud wrestle.

This is an outrage. People may draw wrong conclusions about Bachmann based on her appearance - BO

We'll never know, since they can't come up with two attractive female progressive politicians. :-)

One thing you will discover about Michele Bachmann (if you haven't already) is that she is far more gaffe-prone than Sarah Palin. Bachmann’s gaffes are self-induced rather than something Tina Fey says on TV or the Paul Revere statement, which many historians say was correct.

How did rumors of a Bachmann-Palin feud start again? Oh yes, Michele's campaign manager, Ed Rollins.

Jell-O would be good enough.

Jell-O gets my vote. It would drive those with Bachmann derangement syndrome on this board over the edge.
