Mpls Rep. Accuses Michele Bachmann of "Psycho Talk"

.... Back in 2006, six American Muslim imams were thrown off a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoneix because they were Muslim, and that scared everyone. They were all detained and questioned for hours, because, you know, scary Muslims! The Imams were in Minneapolis for a conference. The first Muslim US Congressman ever, Keith Ellison of Minneapolis, spoke at that conference.

So Michele Bachmann, in an interview with some radio station this week, insinuated that Keith Ellison, her fellow member of the Minnesota congressional delegation, was basically a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer, because the Imams (who, in her telling, are guilty of something by virtue of being a bunch of Muslims on a plane) were in Minneapolis for Ellison's election victory party. That is a lie. They were not.

Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, replied Thursday that Bachmann was engaged in "psycho talk."

And here is the response, from Bachmann's crack staff:

Dave Dziock, a spokesman for Bachmann, said today, "whether the six imams were here for a victory party or a conference where he was a featured speaker, it doesn't change the premise of her comments."

Now it could be argued that Dave's statement makes no sense. But let us give him the benefit of the doubt and acknowledge that, yes, whether the imams were in Minneapolis to celebrate Keith Ellison's victory or simply to go to a conference that Ellison happened to be speaking at doesn't really change the premise of Bachmann's comments, because the premise is offensive and moronic regardless.

MOMMY TRACK

SARAH Palin's campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace -- who was blamed for the GOP veep hopeful's notorious $150,000 clothes-shopping orgy -- is through with politics. "My professional life will never involve working on a campaign again," she tells next month's Marie Claire. Instead, Wallace, 37, says she's pursuing her "life's ambition" with her high-powered Republican lawyer hubby, Mark Wallace, of starting a family -- with the help of in vitro fertilization treatments. She's also penning a chick-lit novel about three women at the top of their careers, including the first woman president.

THE PROBLEM WITH A DISCLAIMER is its coming off as defensive, especially when it's preemptive. Trouble is, it's damned if do/don't: NOT including it first results in the predictable problems.

DISCLAIMER re: linking to the NY Post (for to head-off highly predictable, OT/hijacking posts):: Yes, it is a RAG. Yes, it is owned by NewsCorp/Faux's MURDOCH. No, he doesn't Dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate to "UNtruth" (OR with "triviality" for that matter). These old time gossipers are more journalistically reliable than Tweety and such ilk. Frequently, political tidbits are here first, later to show up in more "respectable" venues. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking intel results in self-fulfilling FALSENESS. I got hooked on these gossipers when they were on the E!1 network and, when they were cancelled, tracked them down and they happened to be at the RAG (NY Post). ALL I read at the RAG are the gossip and the horoscope. On Edit: If this disclaimer is NOT ENOUGH, if you don't like this o.p., PLEASE just click OUT without leaving your any-further-a(doo-doo)!1
