Michele Bachmann today implied that the media's coverage
of her campaign is sexist.
The candidate told a rally in New Hampshire
that she believes that as a crazy woman
she's had to deal with scrutiny she would not face
if she were a crazy man.
Let's ask our first responders to see what they think.
Joining us today we have Duncan Birch,
Lauralee Hickock and David Barrodale
whose opinions are sponsored by Acura.
Is Bachmann treated differently because she's a woman
with a frighteningly apparent psychological instability?
I don't think there's any question. -Lauralee, really?
Every time she says something that's objectively bizarre
about how God told her to adopt two dozen children
or how same-sex marriage is the number one threat to this country,
the press jumps down her throat.
Now they would not be doing that to Mitt Romney
if Mitt Romney were visibly deranged. -I don't buy this
for a second. -Oh, come one.
If an insane male candidate said
that Obama was responsible for swine flu
they would be just as terrified by his ignorance.
Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me!
Look, she needs to start running a powerful, responsive
V6 of a campaign and stop spending so much time
worrying about the media. -Exactly.
You don't see this Acura TL worried about how it's being treated.
This thing can take almost anything people can throw at it.
If all of this is true, how does Bachmann go about
throwing off the focus of being an insane, female candidate?
She's got to beat her crazy male opponents at their own game.
If they're going to come out supporting gun rights
for the developmentally disabled,
she should come out supporting gun rights for dogs.
Exactly, that is totally Acura-te, Lauralee.
100% Acura-te. -Thank you David.
When Bachmann started running around last week
going in circles, rubbing herself with mud
and shrieking wildly,
the media focused completely on what her hair looked like
during the incident. -Right, but when Herman Cain did the same thing
just a few months ago,
people focused on his insane babbling.
There's a clear double-standard. -No, that's because
his insane babblings were cogent political points.
As were hers.
Yes David? -I'm revving this powerful, fuel-injected engine
to show my support for Lauralee's opinion.
That's it, but thank you first responders.
