Jaw-dropping and endearing, the fresh, attractive, ambitious and note-challenged Michele Bachmann, 6th Minnesota, is momentarily the lightest moment of the day. Hoot Smalley. Ya can't make this stuff up. The untangling here requires too many footnotes. A start is that the Reed Smoot and Willis C. Hawley (left) tariff bill passed the Senate and was signed into law in June 1930, during the Herbert Hoover administration. I make too many errors each day to gloat. Any 55 seconds that can gather Coolidge, Hoover and FDR into a policy argument between then and now are a worthwhile 55 seconds. MB gets a green star for trying. The smarty-pants who snicker at T P M get a Need Improvement.  Leave Wiki and try this stuff on an open mic. When I can finish a show by only make ten howler mistakes I count it a good night.  How many states did the candidate visit?  You get the picture.   Show biz.
