If Michele and Marcus Bachmann did not exist, and you were to write them and their adventures as fiction- as a spec pilot, say, or a series of sketches in your weekly ”How ‘Bout Those Headlines” show at WackyTeamz or whatever- the one note you would consistently get would be: “Lose the doggy sunglasses bit. It’s a little on the nose, don’t you think?” Your mother would tell you this. “Dude’s closeted. Message received. A real person never behave this way. Dial it back.”
But they are real, and they did behave this way- live, in front of millions of people- and it made Ben and me laugh so hard we frightened our own dog.
God bless America.
Agree across the board, and I’d like to add that we need to get Alan Sues to play Marcus in the movie. Wait, WHAT? Dear God, When?
Every time I see the Bachmanns’ five kids, I think of the bit in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life after “Every Sperm is Sacred” when the Protestant wife says, “We have two children and we’ve had sexual intercourse twice.”
It's about feelings, nothing more than feelings.

My interests include: marketing music on the internet, drinking, and cats.
