Bachmann in 2012?

(Like H.L. Mencken I may need Foxboro Stadium to laugh in if this comes to pass)
If Rep. Michele Bachmann (R. Pellucidar) is serious about running for President, it can but be for one of two reasons:

1.) She has credible intell that the Tea Partei's main political pin up, Former Governor Sarah Palin isn't gonna run in 2012 so there is room for tyrannical A-List Middle School Queen Bee type in the GOP line up.
Or
2.) She is crazy-angry about getting passed over for a leadership post in Boehner's Congress and Running for President is more fun than drudging on the unexciting Intell Committee.

I'm inclined towards #2, although the notion of Palin and Bachmann debating who can be a bigger more irritating insolent wretch has high comic potential.

Meanwhile I give Speaker Boehner six months before his shit house goes up in chunks he has too many crazy angry people in his caucus and the Man himself is little more than an enabler...a Bad Mix and one that'll blow up badly over the short term. Boehner's Speakership of the House is worthless unless he can control his back bench and nothing in the record suggests he can.
Which means the whole spectacle will be extremely edifying.
