Bachmann wants pro-Gingrich radio ad featuring her to come down
Politico ^ | January 14, 2012 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Michele Bachmann wants a radio ad that she thinks implies her endorsement of Newt Gingrich pulled off the air in South Carolina.

A lawyer for the Minnesota congresswoman sent a letter to radio stations Friday night saying that a spot being aired by the pro-Gingrich super PAC “Winning our Future” uses a clip from an introduction Bachmann delivered when Gingrich fundraised for her during a previous congressional campaign.

Bachmann has not endorsed anyone, and she’s done nothing to indicate that she intends to weigh in anytime soon.

Has she gone back to work for her constituents, yet? You know, that job we pay her almost $200,000 a year to do.
Ping me when she gets her first bill passed.

She must have taken a job with Fox news.

I saw the clip from that fundraiser. At the time, Bachmann positively gushed over her friend Newt.

This stunt now serves no purpose. She's showing her true colors.

This primary season definitely opened my eyes about a few people—Bachmann being one of them.

I don’t see any bearing for any apology...but certainly those within her own staff who sabotaged Bachmann at every stage deserve further scrutiny to prevent them from ever working within 10 feet of a campaign again.

If she comes forward with a press conference saying that while she’s not endorsing anyone, she’s specifically not endorsing Newt Gingrich, his campaign will take a big hit. His patronizing attitude towards her in the last debates before Iowa obviously offended her, and he’d be wise to treat her with more respect. His attacks on investment companies make him look more and more like the guy who sat on the couch with Nancy Pelosi no matter how many times he claims to be the guy who worked with Ronald Reagan.

I’m looking forward to Bachmann disappearing from office altogether.

For sure, because she is and always was, in Romney’s camp.

Bachmann is a fake and phony. She loved Gingrich two years ago, but now viciously attacks him. To hell with this no-class, no-integrity squealing gal. She never had a chance at the nomination.

Her prior words of praise are fair game, particularly after how she did Romney's bidding with underhanded attacks on Newt and other challengers in the debates.

Here's a 2008 video clip of Bachmann and Newt when she sang a different tune.

“This primary season definitely opened my eyes about a few people—Bachmann being one of them.”

Bachmann was the most distressing to me. I thought she was the real deal. Of all the candidates she has done and appears to still be doing the greatest damage to every candidate except Romney. No one knowingly puts a backstabber on staff. I wonder what she thinks she will gain. Romney is void, but not stupid.

Perhaps Boehner was right to stiff her with Hensarling.

She's angling for Veep on a Romney ticket.

Her own staff sabotaged her??? They were just unable to stem the non-stop flow of fauxpas. We are lucky as the shitehouse rat, Michelle was her own worst enemy.

How far the once mighty have fallen.

Bachmann was a conservative and tea party all star a year ago. Look at all that has transpired since.

Thud!
