Michele Bachmann is keepin’ it real, yo:
As Steele concluded his remarks, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann—the event’s moderator—told Steele he was “da man.”
“Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man,” she said.
She’s the duly elected representative from Minnesota’s 6th District, ladies and gentlemen.

By Michelle Bachmann’s standards, this isn’t even remotely cringe-worthy. Wasn’t she the one hiding in the bushes at a Gay pride parade a few years ago?
Why must you remind me that I’m represented in Congress by such an idiot?
Every now and then people on this list are willing to acknowledge their deepest shames — and we learn how many of us share them. For example, I recall being astonished to realize how many fellow atheists/agnostics I’ve been blogging with over the years.
So, here goes. Yes, I admit it, too: Bachmann is my Congressman. There, I said it.
And now, thanks to jd, I know that I’m not alone. (My understanding is that Fecke lives just across the border, running a kind of underground railroad to get people out.)
Honestly, I wouldn’t wish my fate on others — truly I wouldn’t. Yet I can’t help acknowledging that misery loves company. I think Blue was similarly afflicted at one time, but she may have made an escape. So just now, hearing from jd, it’s like a weight has been lifted from — well, maybe from that part of my brain that makes me cling to a president like a rabid weasel.
Anyway, is anyone else brave enough to come out of the closet?
I live in Arizona, but I have relatives in Bachmann’s district. They can’t stand her, either. They’ve been trying to get me to move up to Minnesota, but I don’t need to move all the way up there to find nutty politicians. They’ve got enough of ’em right here.
Can you MN-6 people explain what happened last year? It looked like she was finally going to go down, but she pulled it out.
