It was only a matter of time before they found each other. Prendergast at Dump Bachmann:

I don’t know what to do with this one. I really don’t. I’m just going to put it up here and see what happens.

It seems that on April 1st of this year, a conservative blogger named Pamela Gellar [sic] interviewed Michele Bachmann. It’s twenty minutes long, and Michele starts talking revolution again. She’s comparing conservative blogs with the Committees of Correspondence that helped to foment the “original” American revolution, and accusing the Obama administration of trying to end US sovereignty and freedom again.

Giuliani doesn’t even hold the appeal of being a gay-loving cross-dresser anymore, now that he has come out (haha gay pun!) against gay marriage. The only thing to do is get another calculating rat-faced attack dog back in the game for the Democrats. So, Spitzer for Governor! We want a man in Albany who only uses the numbers nine and eleven when he’s counting his whore diamonds.
