Presidential wannabe Michele Bachmann (R-Death Ceiling)  has hit the Iowa airwaves with her first TV spot, in which she lays out some biographicals and emphasizes her fight “against the wasteful bailout, against the stimulus.”

Here ’tis:

Get that last part? I – will – not – vote – to increase the debt ceiling.

Say, she is opposed to stimulus, isn’t she?

Which is probably just as well, given the sideshow that’s  currently forming over a Pawlenty campaign official’s statement that Bachmann has “sex appeal.”

From CBS News:

Vin Weber, a top adviser for GOP presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty, apologized Wednesday night for comments he made citing “sex appeal” as one of the reasons for fellow Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s success.

Weber, a co-chairman of Pawlenty’s political action committee, said in a Wednesday interview with the Hill that “sex appeal,” along with hometown appeal and ideological appeal, would make Bachmann, R-Minn., “very hard to beat” in Iowa.

“She’s got hometown appeal, she’s got ideological appeal, and, I hate to say it, but she’s got a little sex appeal too,” Weber said.

Not surprisingly, Weber moonwalked away from that statement shortly thereafter.

No comment from Bachmann. Hey – smart, too.
