In a new profile in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) takes the controversies surrounding herself in stride:

“I haven’t purposely been trying to be inflammatory,” she said in an interview last week. “I’m trying to just explain to the American people what’s happening here in Washington, D.C.”

Consider for a moment that this is the Congresswoman who has said the country is at the point of revolution, or that we have to decide whether we want to be free or want to be slaves. Just imagine if she were trying to be inflammatory.
