• Interview with Rep. Michele Bachmann (Part 1) – I was prepared to meet Rep. Michele Bachmann’s media image — extreme and excitable. After all, if you knew the three-term congresswoman only from her duels with Chris Matthews or her firebrand speeches to the base, you would be convinced she is sort of an overcaffeinated Sarah Palin. But the comparison to another conservative woman is both unfair (Is Mike Pence compared to Jim DeMint?) and inapt. If you thought George W. Bush was “misunderestimated,” spend some time with Bachmann.

  She was running late due to a floor vote, but when I was ushered through the interior hallway to her office she was standing with the door open, like a gracious neighbor. Her features are less severe in person. Her voice is rather quiet and calm. Throughout the interview a single question kept running through my mind: THIS is Michele Bachmann?
