As she’s often done recently, Michele Bachmann showed up late to an event in Iowa on Sunday night, the Black Hawk County Republican Party dinner in Waterloo. Asked by a reporter for an explanation, Bachmann said, “We had a big family reunion just north of Waterloo.” Perfectly reasonable! If there’s one thing in this world more important than a group of politically connected Iowans, it’s family.
So we still don’t know why Bachmann was late, or why she would lie about it. Some of the more suspicious among us might suspect that she was recovering from a migraine. All we know is that Politico’s Emily Schultheis is in line for a good shoving.
