Common Sense and Common Decency

I know, it's kind of surprising that Michele Bachmann is still running for president, but she is. She made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon Live. For reasons that are completely inexplicable, as she was coming on the stage the band played, Lyin' Ass Bitch by Fishbone. First of all, it's a terrible song. Second of all, seriously? You have to go out of your way to be that rude and inconsiderate. There is no excuse.

I believe that Michele Bachmann has not been seriously confronted about her multiple inconsistencies and her quirky, goofy, outside of the mainstream stances on many issues. In interviews she should be forced to actually answer a question. As a matter fact, all candidates should be forced to answer questions. They should not be allowed to give pat answers or statements which don't even address the question. Still, there is no excuse for this type of rudeness – ever. Whoever picked that song should be fired.

As long as I'm on the subject, the picture that they had of Michele Bachmann on the cover of Newsweek was also wrong.
