Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann (R-God Is My Umbrella) has launched what New Hampshire Journal is calling “the first negative ad of the 2012 cycle” (which, not to sound negative, makes you wonder where New Hampshire Journal’s been lately).
Anyway, here it is:
The spot goes after Bachmann’s fellow Tea Partier Rick Perry (R-Secede or Lead) as a big spender, and concludes “There is an honest conservative – and she’s not Rick Perry.” An outfit called Keep Conservatives United produced the ad and claims it’s running in South Carolina, although Politico says “It’s unclear if it’s a real buy, or a push for free media.”
Either way, the gloves are off. We’ll soon know whether Perry is all hat and no catcall.

Wow, when Bachmann goes into overdrive, her accusations become the stuff of a really gripping novel. A page turner. So much so that you could almost call this a Bachmann-overdrive turner.
OK SORRY I TRIED
IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE
Bachmann has not “launched” this ad — Keep Conservatives United did. The U.S. Supreme Court told us in the Citizens United ruling there’s a world of difference between the two.
Right on both counts, Mike.
