Dana Milbank: Michele Bachmann, GOP squeaky wheel, ready to retire - The Washington Post

Dana Milbank: Michele Bachmann, GOP squeaky wheel, ready to retire - The Washington Post: "Bachmann, the congresswoman from Minnesota who ran a tea party-backed presidential campaign in 2012, made her announcement in a video released in the wee hours of Wednesday morning containing her trademark mixture of bombast, paranoia and error.

The error came fairly late in her eight-minute, 40-second spot. “I fully anticipate the mainstream liberal media to put a detrimental spin on my decision,” she declared over vague synthesizer music.

Detrimental? Um, no. It’s hard to see the mothballing of Bachmann as anything but unalloyed good news, for the party and the country."
