Michele Bachmann claiming that God speaks to her (even through her husband) reminds me of the popular singer of some years back who was conducting an anti-gay campaign in Florida. Among other things, she was in the habit of changing the lyrics of well-known pop songs to give them a fundamentalist "Christian" slant.

In regard to her anti-gay campaign, she said that "God has His hand on me."

On hearing that, a friend of mine commented, "I know that's not true. If God had His hand on her, it would be over her big, fat mouth!"
