Via Glenn Thrush, Michele Bachmann has a wish:
Q: A lot has been made of some of your statements — the "gangster government" comment, the "anti-American" comment. Is there anything you’ve said that you regret?
A: Oh, gosh, absolutely. Of course, I wish I could be more artful in the way that I say things. But the other thing I’ve noticed that is kind of interesting is it seems like there’s also a double standard and bias in the mainstream media.
Polls today say that the American people more than ever think the mainstream media is biased in favor of the liberal position. And so conservatives, especially conservative women, are held to a completely different standard than liberals.
Translation: Yes, I'm an idiot, but it's all the liberal media's fault.
