Silver Lining

This could be good news. Michele Bachmann won't run for re-election to Congress as long as she's running for the presidential nomination. Can't think of more efficient way to get her out of government.

Of course, as someone on Twitter pointed out, she has until early June 2012 to drop out of the presidential race and still file for her old seat. A good reason to help her win the nomination. Maybe I'll start saying nice things about her. Oh wait. That won't work because the cons won't support her if I do. So maybe I should amp up the criticism... [Photo via Alan Colmes.]
