In an interview by Sean Hannity’s last night, Rep. Michele Bachmann said she had gotten a call early last evening from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, who apologized for the way he put the “flake” question during Sunday’s interview. She recounted that she was happy to accept the apology and that “we’re moving on.”
About time. She needs to channel a little more Reagan and make the haters and idiots look small by comparison. We already have a prickly, sulky grudge holder in the WH, we are not looking for another.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseTo be honest, you seem like the prickly one. A control freak.
This was an issue b/t her and Chris Wallace.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseMy namesake is a control freak. I am not. Nothing conducted on the front pages is private. My concern was that it was making her look silly and petty. Accepting an apology is the right thing to do.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseApologizing on-air and over the phone are not the same thing.
He insinuated she was a flake to her face. Certainly apologizing to her face would have been the best thing, but at least over the phone beats an impersonal scripted apology on his show (which was really apologizing to viewers, not Bachmann).
She was right to wait for a real apology.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWould Chris Wallace ever have asked such a question of then candidate Barak Obama before the last election? Of course not. Michelle Bachman has excelled in many walks of life and is quite smart and has very sound reasoning. We need to not stand for the media's smug, condescending attitude toward true conservatives. Conservatives have power with Fox because we watch it and drive their ratings. Boycott Wallace's program and let him know we're not going to accept this kind of thing.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAll of this has nothing to do with a condescending attitude towards true conservatives and disparate treatment of conservatives and liberals. Nobody in the media would ask Paul Ryan if he's a flake. That's because Paul Ryan doesn't give off the "I'm a flake" vibe with a daily verbal gaffe.
