Maybe I&#8217;m a bit of a junkie, but I just gave $50 to this El Tinklenberg. He&#8217;s running in the Minnesota 6th against Michele Bachmann, the idiot pol who got on Hardball and called Barack anti-American. I call her an idiot because she, like most of the GOP, seems tone deaf to the reality that these [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=politicaljunkies.wordpress.com&blog=4022185&post=55&subd=politicaljunkies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
