A Minnesotan's Thoughts about Michele Bachmann

[MineralMan]

7. Sarah Palin's star has faded greatly in brightness.

She barely has a voice any longer, and her nonsense no longer gets the kind of coverage it used to. Bachmann will fade even more quickly. She has less wit than even Palin has, and she won't do well in longer form speeches. She's a sound bite speaker, and screws up even those.

But, I think she'll give it a go, since she's very much in love with the sound of her own voice. For a while, she'll get speaking gigs, just like Palin did, but those opportunities will decrease quickly when it's discovered just how shallow and inarticulate she really is when she isn't speaking in 15-second bursts.

Michele Bachmann is a true moron, and simply does not have the qualities of someone who can survive in the public speaking environment. But I believe she'll try, out of a mistaken belief that she has something that needs to be said.
