That's my point, she doesn't know tail gunner Joe.

Bachmann initially only wanted Obama investigated by the press for being anti American. Chris Matthews asked questions persistently to make her expand her idea of investigations by the press to include members of Congress.
That leading question was off talking point
but she went for it anyway thinking that it sounded like a good idea.

I am only sorry that Chris did not make this cretin go one step further and ask for all citizens to be investigated for anti Americanism.

She is such an empty suit I bet she would have gone for it.
I think Chris felt as though he was shooting fish in a barrel and backed off when he could have gone in for an Edward R Murrow kill.
