Speaking Of Flakes

By Semperpapa

OK, what the hell was Chris Wallace thinking? Or was he just doing the bidding of the establishment?
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, the anchorman asked newly declared Presidential contender Michelle Bachmann if she was a flake. He qualified his question by suggesting that there were some people who consider the Minnesota Congresswoman as such.


Besides the lack of professionalism on the part of Wallace, I find it interesting that he never even remotely question if Barak Obama was a flake. And that is one hell of a flake in my opinion.
So what was that all about, Chris Wallace? I was under the impression that the man had some journalistic integrity even as I would at times disagree with his approach and style, but the interview with Bachmann almost took a form of an ambush.

I am not necessarily a fervent supporter of Michelle Bachmann. I agree with some of her positions and are a little colder on some other, but she is definitely a conservative and she has a lot of popular support.
This is not a rally post for her, but it is a rant on the attack that Wallace and the MSM is already conducting against this woman. Are they going to ask Debbie Wassermann-Schultz if she is a flake? After all she has made some off the wall remarks about Republicans and Jim Crow.
Or is the trashing only relegated to Conservative women.

The fact is that women like Bachmann and Sarah Palin create fear in the hearts of the liberals. Men attack them as bimbos, women as bitches, but mostly my thought is that they are afraid that they may miss the opportunity of having the first woman president being from the left.
They already claim the first black President, Bill Clinton, and the second, Obama, but it would be inconceivable that the the first woman would be from the Party that they claim wants women to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

To Chris Wallace defense, he did come out almost immediately and apologize for his outrageous questioning, but the damage was already done. If it would have been Sean Hannity for example, to ask a similar question to a liberal candidate, the Left would have demanded the head of Hannity on a silver platter, but because the attack was perpetrated against a Conservative woman, it will be forgotten by tomorrow.

I do not know who will be the Republican opponent to Obama in November 2012. Whoever it is he or she will get my vote (I'd vote for Humpty Dumpty against Obama). As for the primaries, my candidate of choice has not yet entered the race.
This will be an interesting 17 months.

Just my thoughts!
