STFU Michele Bachmann

Bachmann, riding high after winning the August 13 Republican straw poll in Iowa, took time to pay a visit to conservative radio talk show “Jay Sekulow Live!” The show aired on August 18 — the eve of the 20th anniversary of the attempted coup that would lead to the fall of the Soviet Union.
