For All The Wrong Reasons
By Mitch Berg
The DFL, stricken as they are by Bachmann Derangement Syndrome, are throwing one of their more promising lights at Michele Bachmann in the Sixth District.
Sen. Tarryl Clark (DFL-St. Cloud) announced officially last week that she was running for the DFL endorsement to face Rep. Michele Bachmann in the MN-06 race. Yesterday, her path became much simpler; Elwyn Tinklenberg shuttered his campaign leaving her and Maureen Reed vying for the endorsement. This development makes Tarryl the frontrunner for the endorsement.
Of course, Patty Wetterling and E-Tink immolated their political careers against Bachmann.
But according to Eric “Big” Pusey at Minnesota “Progressive” Project, this time it’s different. See if you can spot the catch:
DFL activists throughout Minnesota know Tarryl as a rising star in the party. She’s worked with at-risk teens and for the Girl Scouts. She helped start Habitat for Humanity in the St. Cloud area. She attended an accredited law school [Not just a law school, but an “accredited” one? Yowza. Does she want a cookie? – Ed], William Mitchell in St. Paul, and worked for Legal Aid for seniors focusing on their healthcare issues.
The legislators I’ve spoken to all speak highly of her, she was appointed Assistant Majority Leader in the Senate and probably most importantly, she claims that she already has a decent volunteer base that’s been growing rapidly since her announcement.
That’s right – DFLers just loooooove Tarryl Clark. In a district that’s conservative enough to buck two Democrat flood tides and elect the feisty, controversial (because she’s female and conservative) Bachmann, that is a dubious distinction in the best of times.
In 2010? When the American hinterland is clutching their chest and reaching for the nitro pills for the sticker shock on all of that Hope and Change? With a record like Tarryl Clark’s – as a tax-and-spender with less grace than Marie Antoinette, albeit arguably more than Cy “When you win, you keep your money; when we win, we take your money” Thao?
Yes, DFL. Please. I beg of you. Nominate Clark in the Sixth.

I probably should defer to Terry on this, but the DFL running Clark in this instance would be like throwing the most attractive young woman in the village into the mouth of the volcano.

Speaking of Bachmann Derangement Syndrome, I sent that coward peevee into a huge meltdown over on PenisBlog.
Calling him a yellow belly ass nozzel is insulting to yellow bellies and ass nozzels.
Hey AssClown, would you and AC Jr share a few of your shit tacos with peev?

I disagree. Bachmann has lost a lot of political capital. She is starting to look like the Sarah Palin of Minnesota.
From what I hear, E Tink was only defeated by Anoka County, which will not happen again.
So, I am here to rub it in. You guys are losers and you are going to lose even more.
Guess what else, the majority of people cannot stand your kind. Maybe you ought start scrubbing history to save what little reputations you have left.
Seriously, your noise machine is getting tuned out.
I know you have to disagree publicly, but I also know that you know that I am right.

Bachmann is the poster girl for crazy Republicans everywhere. She’s your Cynthia McKinney. Every time a clip of her saying something wacky with those crazy eyes of hers shows up on The Daily Show, another Democrat gets his wings.

…and he uses those wings to fly too close to the media sun, gets burned by the public when they see his actual opinions and falls to earth in a flaming mass of death, much like Obama’s approval ratings.

The closest to the sun you wingnuts are able to get these days is the bug zapper.

I wish someone would invent a bug zapper that looked like a .44 Magnum.
“Go ahead, junebug. Make my day”.
SIIZZZZZZZZZZ
That’d be so cool.

“those crazy eyes of hers”
Horror!!!! Run for your lives!!!
So, how many times has she been elected? Heh heh heh
“…another Democrat gets his wings.”
Red Wings or Shit Taco Wings?
We already know that AssClown and AC Jr prefer the Shit Taco Wings over Red Wings.
