AP Spins It Wrong

The AP is keen to spin the meme that Michelle Bachmann is viewed as a liability by incoming House Speaker John Boehner because of all that Tea Party taint. Not true. Bachmann is up against Jeb Hensarling, who is a long time stalwart of fiscal conservatism in the House. Hensarling is in the mold of Coburn, Pence, Shadegg and he has served his time, working in the trenches. If Boehner is cool to Bachmann it is only because he wants the deserving Hensarling in that post.
