Bill Maher simply states the obvious – in his direct manner, when asked to review the sparkling interplay of the GOP’s least dazzling line-up in recent memory. The bar is set so low that pundits have raised Michele Bachmann’s chances on the basis of a recent interview in which she revealed that when she is sunbathing an economics book is in her hands.
Her own recent historical blunders are completely forgotten because she was just bright – or perhaps cunning enough – to listen to her new advisers. Unlike Sarah Palin, she prepares answers to those ‘gotcha’ questions beforehand.
