Even the Morning Joe crew called it "sexist" and unfair....The raising of Rep. Michele Bachmann suffering headaches is now thought to be an effort of GOP foes....possibly the Pawlenty campaign....to raise doubts about the surging Bachmann who now trails only Mitt Romney in polls of GOP voters.
The story was first run in a conservative publication and may be a further sign of how worried the old bulls of the GOP are worried about the Tea Party favorite's rapid climb.
Pointing out her headaches also reenforces a stereotypical view of women as in "I have a headache".

Like you Mr. Mayor, I suspect the biggest headaches being suffered are by her political rivals. People like Bachman, Palin, Doug Hoffman and Herman Cain have pretty much blindsided the GOP establishment, and they can't seem to figure out any way to counter this breath of fresh air other than the tried and true smear tactics.
I know several people that suffer from them to an extent they are occasionally debilitated. They all happen to be women. (You would make an excellent co-host with Sharpton.)
It is believable that someone from her own team did this just like it was Hillary that started the birther rumor.
Ordinarily I would say this birth defect known as migraines, she suffers from, should disqualify her but since Obama has been debilitated since he took office what does a few hours once a months matter...
If Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Hoffman, or anyone else on that whacky fringe is a "breath of fresh" air, then cut off my legs and call me shorty - the air just turned a sour green.
Dan, you have really added to the conversation with that comment...it makes me reconsider my entire take on migraines and Bachmann.
With one exception, all the targets of Dannie's hatred are blacks and women. Is it fear, racism, or hatred of women?
Anonymous 4:47 - just because you make outrageous statements like that one does not hold water with me or I suspect with others here -- saying something is not the same as saying it's true or factual - - you are flat out wrong on both counts regarding me and what you think you know about me.
You are a despicable little vile person worst than an insect who hides and only comes out after dark sporting your Anonymous label.
