Michele Bachmann ad berates challenger 'Big Spendin' Jim' Graves

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's first campaign ad for her re-election bid against challenger Jim Graves is ready.

She calls her opponent "Big Spendin' Jim" and says he supported the stimulus plan passed by Congress.

The ad plays on Graves' hotel management company, showing a marquee for the "Graves Inn."

Two years ago, when she faced Tarryl Clark, Bachmann's first ad referred to "Taxin' Tarryl."

Name calling

What is with this tendency of the GOP's most strident harridan to perpetually fall back on the sort of lame-o name-calling that elementary school teachers try to discourage their charges from using?

Harridan

Harridan - had to look that up - but it's a perfect description of Michele. Thanks for the vocabulary lesson.

Bachmann's anti-Graves ad

Kind of hard for him to have done all that bad stuff - when he hasn't been in office. As a Minnesotan one can only hope our long national embarrassment will at last come to a close.
