Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on the O’Reilly Factor last night, where she and O’Reilly discussed, among other things, how successful conservative women bother the left.
“See, I’m not getting — to me, you’re a conservative Republican from a Midwestern — upper Midwestern state,” said O’Reilly, “who speaks her mind articulately, does her job. Why are they coming after you? I don’t get it.”
“It may bother them that conservative women are happy and don’t need government in order to be successful in life,” Bachmann replied. “I have a great husband, great kids. I had a great career as a federal tax attorney. And I don’t need government to be successful. And it seems like they have a stereotype for women and I don’t fit in their stereotype.”
It’s interesting to see Republicans complaining that a strong and successful woman bothers the left — considering that this is the same party that has called for Gen. McChrystal to put Speaker Nancy Pelosi “in her place.”
