What's the Matter with Minnesota?

Michele Bachmann (R-MN): I, too, know more about MIT scientist's study on costs of emissions caps than he does.

Late Update: TPM Reader AV responds and tries to explain:

As a Minnesotan who lives in the 5th District but has worked in the 6th, I will say that perhaps the best question is "What is wrong with the 6th District in Minnesota that they would re-elect this beastly hellspawn who appears to represent that state?"

Minnesota does churn out some nutty characters, this is true: Jesse Ventura, Michele Bachmann, Prince and Norm Coleman come to mind (for various but not always common reasons). But you must also keep in mind that we unleashed unto the world the likes of Paul Wellstone, Eugene McCarthy and the Coen Brothers. We're not terribly lame.

Oh, and we're real nice, too.
