Michele Bachmann Shows Off 'Titanium Spine' And Repeats 'I Was The Perfect Candidate'

WASHINGTON -- HuffPost's Howard Fineman and Zach Carter interviewed Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) during the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference, a major annual event for the conservative movement.

Bachmann, a former candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination, was optimistic about the capacity of the Republican base to rally around whoever the final candidate to face President Barack Obama will be.

Her call for conservative comity comes amid a heated primary race, in which Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul all retain significant levels of support among Republicans.

The interview ended, however, with Bachmann showing off her "titanium spine" and reiterating that she "was the perfect candidate."

"There won't be any other core conservative that's running," she said. "America, you had your chance."

She's irrelevant. She's even too much of a lunatic for the right wing crazies.

Seems Michele is about the only one who sees herself as the perfect candidate. Perhaps that means she was not the perfect candidate.

So that's it, she's been having an allergic reaction to the titanium. And I'm sure she can fly backwards, as everything she does just amazes, stuns, and makes us cringe.

I don't think she has titanium in her spine, but she does have rocks in her empty brain cavity.
