Taibbi on Bachmann

Matt Taibbi's exposé on Michele Bachmann, the possible tea party/ religious nuttery candidate for the American presidency in 2012, is easily the scariest thing you will read today. Bachmann is very, very crazy and the thought of her being somehow connected to the Oval Office is very, very scary - if she were angling for the presidency of Angola or Haiti, we could all have a good laugh, watch the carnage and send in the UN later to extinguish the pyres, but, regrettably, we are talking about the United States. And she makes Palin look like an unrefined prototype, a proof-of-concept at best: Palin is the mudskipper to Bachmann's frog.
