Michelle Bachman: People Aren't Talking About Me Enough Lately So I Think I'll Try To Draw Attention Away From GOP Superstar Paul Ryan Because It's Not Like He Knows Anything About Reducing and Reforming Spending

Enough about me talking about myself. Maybe you should talk about me some more.

[H]aving Bachmann deliver some sort of “shadow” conservative response to Obama will achieve one of two things. Either it’ll be redundant by duplicating most of the same points that Ryan makes or, if she says something incendiary that the media ends up slobbering over the next day, it’ll overshadow his speech entirely. Or, actually, I suppose there’s a third option — that this will be as much a response to Ryan as it is to Obama, emphasizing that his plan to cut $60 billion this year (and maybe his vote for TARP?) simply isn’t good enough.

Oh, but we've talked about me long enough. Let's find new people to talk about me.

Oh, and speaking about people obsessed with keeping their names in the media even if it damages concrete policy objectives, of course she'll be speaking on behalf of the look-at-me Tea Party Express.

Which, by the way, is founded by a couple of very mainstream old-guard Republican operatives. But like they're totally the fresh faces of the new vanguard and stuff.
