When Chris Wallace asked Michele Bachmann if she is a flake, my first reaction was to feel a little sorry for her. She looked hurt. But I don't want to feel sorry for someone who wants to be President. It wasn't a tough question, it was a nasty label that she could easily have written off as left wingers who "dismiss my views when millions agree or I wouldn't be sitting here." You might say hindsight is 20/20 but Bachmann had to be forewarned about the criticism. Indeed Wallace's question was quite long..plenty of time to lighten up..maybe retrieve the old saying "sticks and stones can hurt my bones but words can never hurt me." But then maybe she feared she'd get that wrong.
