I'm not defending her because I couldn't give a flying fuck about her. Her existence and what she says has zero impact on my life. You should just get over her and get a hobby or something. This level of obsessiveness is probably some sort of an indication of mental issues.

You son of a .... well, actually, ok, point taken.
HOWEVER, I would just like to say 2 things about why she commands (commanded? my attention).
#1. She really, honestly, truly is, a dope. My interest isn't in her so much, it is in how she ever even landed a job, let alone got elected to any kind of office.
#2. And it is possible that some of the things COULD affect my life. Bachmann in 2008 said "Carbon Dioxide is Harmless". What if too many people believed her, and green programs were delayed or scared? She also said that HPV Vaccine causes retardation. What if I had daughters who heard that and then refused to get this important vaccine? So true, she has no direct effect on my life and never will, but she still has dangerous influence, and that worries me a little.
Peace.
