LENO: You and Perry went over this HPVvaccine topic. Explain this whole deal.
BACHMANN: Well, there was a situation where it was an abuse of executive power. And that's something that the governor admitted, that it was an abuse of executive power. It was an action by the governor to write an executive order to order all 12-year-old girls to have an injection before they could go into school.
LENO: But it was never implemented; right? He signed it, but it was never implemented.
BACHMANN: Right, right, right.
LENO: OK.
BACHMANN: But it was highly controversial, and the Legislature in Texas was so angry, that they were going to -- they passed a law to overturn it because they didn't want to have the children go through that.
LENO: OK. I mean, is that bad? I mean --
BACHMANN: Well, I think so.
LENO: It's a vaccine to prevent -- what is it? Cervical cancer?
BACHMANN: Well, it's HPV. And the concern is that there's, you know, potentially side effects that can come with something like that. But it gives a false sense of assurance to a young woman when she has that that if she's sexually active that she doesn't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases. And that's not necessarily true.
LENO: Well, I don't know if it gives assurance. It can prevent cervical cancer; correct?
BACHMANN: But it's the -- again, it's something that potentially could have dangerous side effects. But it's also the fact that -- of crony capitalism. People were worried that potentially --
LENO: But parents can opt out of it; right? A parent can say, "I don't want my daughter" --
BACHMANN: You can opt out, but the way that these work is...

She’s this year’s Christine O’Donnell. We have enough great conservative women that we don’t have to be afraid to point out when one of them doesn’t meet our high standards for public office.
Leno, on the other hand, is a perfect example of how so much of pop culture success depends on blandness. He is perfect for the time period when people are trying to fall asleep. I’ve never understood his popularity.
WOW you are fixated with Bachmann. Do you have a crush on her?
I think that's the precise moment when her campaign jumped the shark.
I’m sure someone from the Bachmann camp will complain about all those ‘gotcha’ questions that Leno ambushed her with. </sarcasm>
But it's also the fact that -- of crony capitalism.Crony Capitalism.
Phony issue.
Shame on you, Sarah Palin, for introducing a phony issue into the campaign.
Imagine if she went this hard after Romneycare, something that was actually implemented and something that is far far worse than a freakin vaccine and something Romney refuses to apologize for.
She is becoming a total joke.
Surely you jest!
Unlike you know who—someone who does not know the meaning of “ILLEGAL ALIEN” or issues EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO INJECT 12 YEAR OLD GIRLS WITH DRUGS.
Being from MN until the last two years I know Michelle and like her for what she is a conservative. However, she is like a majorette that runs to the front of the parade when the job is not necessary or already taken. She could not even win a Senate seat in MN and would be hard pressed to carry MN in a Presidential Election.

(just prior to Greta's interview with Michele Bachmann on HPV vaccine and crony capitalism).
I agree. I really like Michelle Bachmann, but she was less than prudent with her remarks on this issue.
No she repeated the womans claim.
She is cute and smart, I can see why you have such a hard crush on her.
Yes, I keep hoping Sarah will announce, but if not, I give her LOTS of credit for not being part of a media-made cat fight
I saw Leno live at a Dish Network conference in Dallas in 2004. They screened the attendees for recording devices, locked everyone in and then brought him out. He was absolutely hilarious! He really dials it back for his show but in private he cuts loose.
He may actually be a little on the conservative side. He had nothing but wonderfully kind things to say about W and absolutely ran Bill Clinton into the ground.
