Squatting Bachmann

Minnesota State Senator Michelle Bachmann, from Stillwater, MN, is the current leader of the Minnesota chapter of the American Taliban. Last week she tried to force a floor vote on a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, but the Senate Democrats shot it down. (An entertaining way to learn more about Bachmann's efforts is by listening to the "Michelle Bachmann Morality Minute" series over at wendywilde.com.)

This is the best Michelle Bachmann story yet though: pictures of Bachmann squatting behind the bushes outside the capital, apparently spying on the rally organized by OutFront Minnesota. Are these pics legit? I don't know - but they sure are funny.

Speaking of loony right-wing Minnesotans, "Hindrocket" and "Big Trunk" over at Power line have droppped their strangely homoerotic names after all. Apparently the kidding got to be too much. They kept the icons though, at least.
