Just as the Egyptians want Mubarak out of their country, I want Michele Bachmann out of my district (and my city)! She just won't leave! I wish both her and Sarah Palin would just leave the country and never come back! I voted against her the last 2 elections, but for some reason people keep voting for her. Some people think that she is somehow related to Bachman's flower shop and vote for her out of name-recognition (this is one reason why Mark Dayton, our new governor, won the election). Or they think she has a pretty face (I don't--too much make-up!). I heard a morning radio show host say that Minnesotans had a choice between a hot candidate (Bachmann), or a hot ass (her opponent Tarryl Clark)! Seriously, people need to educate themselves before they vote or they should just stay home! Too many Minnesotans are busy watching the Vikings, but they don't like politics so they don't educate themselves about the candidates when they vote. They just hear a name and like the name or they like what a person looks like on TV. Or they get so sick of the negative attack ads that they just stay home and don't vote! Or they vote for the independent candidate which doesn't help either.Both Tarryl Clark (2010 opponent) and El Tinklenberg (2008 opponent) would have made better representatives of my district! Most democrats in my district know she is a crazy Tea Party ultra-conservative Bush-loving Palin-loving Republican nut job, and we even have an anti-Bachmann website at www.dumpbachmann.com. But Bachmann has too much money and outspent her opponents the last 2 elections. She spent $8 1/2 million dollars on her own campaign in 2010, and raised over 13 million dollars! She spent more money than any other House of Representatives candidate! And almost all of the money she "raised" was from individual donors--probably George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, our former governor Tim Pawlenty, Republican leaders, and the Tea Party. So in other words there are some very rich people--most probably outside of Minnesota--who are keeping this crazy woman in my district!Tarryl Clark did the best she could in 2010 by raising $4 million dollars, was very outspoken against Bachmann, and did her best to win the public's support by marching in parades and making a lot of public appearances. She had many supporters, a good website, and even an iPhone app! But she was an outsider because she was not originally from Minnesota, so unfortunately people didn't recognize her and didn't trust her. Just like Obama's campaign in 2008, there were false rumors spreading around about Clark saying she wanted to tax emails. (The same old "don't trust the outsider, they're not from here" spread rumors and lies Republican fear tactic). Also, the constant negative attack ads didn't help either. I remember that almost every commercial on TV was a negative attack ad from both sides, and my mailbox was constantly full of negative campaign flyers--it was very ugly! But El Tinklenberg almost beat her in 2008--he only lost by 3%! He didn't raise as much money as Clark, but his campaign was a lot more positive and hopeful like Obama's when everyone was saying "Yes we can!" and "change." I even got to shake his hand at a Minnesota Democratic caucus. So we're trying to get her out of Minnesota's 6th district America. But I guess she just has too much money and too many political connections that she keeps getting re-elected! :(As far as the SNL skit, I am glad that I am not the only one who noticed that her whole TV response to Obama's State of the Union was screwed up with her looking off camera into the wrong camera! It's just like Sarah Palin looking at her hand notes when giving a speech! These women need to stay home and raise their kids and stop trying to lead our country! Even though Saturday Night Live is not as funny as it used to be, the best skits are the political ones. And anything that makes fun of Michele Bachmann brings her one step closer to leaving my district!

Michele Bachmann is a joke. She and Palin are too easy to pick on but when SNL does it, they nail it. How can anyone take Michele Bachmann serious?

Kristen Wiig did fine as usual. But the writers are cowards. It's the week of a Presidential SOTU address and they decide to lampoon the technical difficulties of a response that no one saw. Especially in light of the prior week's visit from China's President. There's so much fertile ground and they can't bring themselves to take advantage. This demonstrates how weak and intellectually insecure the writers of SNL have become.
