"Will you do the rest of the world a favor and reelect Michele Bachmann?" Palin pleaded at the rally.

It was a rally not held in the Sixth District.

Of those yahooskis attending, hopefully only a fraction live here, so that the headline exhortation fell on deaf ears.

And a clue, Sarah.

The world could turn down such a favor. Easily.

Instead -

District residents, do yourselves a favor.

End that idiot bigot being in Congress.

VOTE HER OUT.

------------------------------

Citizens from elsewhere, do Sixth District residents a favor. Don't suffer fools. Ignore Palin and Bachmann.

Strib divoted two online reports to the spectacle, here and here. The Crabgrass headline is from one.

Minn Independent, here.

From coverage pics it looks as if Palin got to wear the strings of pearls for the night. Probably Bachmann's, on loan. There's something about that CBS photo that I feel captures the core inner essence of Michele Bachmann.

___________UPDATE___________
Excellent coverage at Dump Bachmann, photos, videos. here and here. Are you comforted by either link?

Triple-A was there, this link. His post was terse but comforted.

Worth a thousand words:

I challenge anyone at that rally, at the podium, in the crowd, to take an IQ test. I doubt anyone mistook it for a MENSA meeting.

I wonder how Bill Buckley would have written of it, had he not died too early to witness the event. I wonder how Sinclair Lewis would have written of it. Pages from Elmer Gantry, with the names changed?
