Bachmann babysat Gretchen Carlson from FOX. Seriously.

[MinneapolisMatt]

Carlson, the 1989 Miss America who now co-anchors TV's "Fox and Friends," is more than an impartial observer. Not only has she interviewed Bachmann numerous times, but Carlson said that Bachmann was her baby sitter for an entire summer:

"My favorite baby sitter."


BTW, the whole article is about people being inducted into the Anoka MN High School Hall of Fame. Garrison Keillor turned it down. Bachmann wasn't even nominated. More from Gretchen Carlson of FOX:


"I feel completely disheartened that she's not part of this," Carlson said. "In the committee's defense, in growing up in a small town, I know this happens. It was a grass-roots effort, from the heart. This is just so unfortunate."


The whole article is pretty funny, including the reader comments.

1. It's like a giant CULT of nut-jobs.

2. "Queen Cashew"...Oh my...LOL..n/t

4. I saw that. A local insult, or did Bachmann win the title fair and square?

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around Gretchen Carlson as a former Miss America. Betcha THAT one didn't say "I want to work for world peace and help the poor all around the world" in the interview portion!

6. Carlson used to play a mean violin

7. "I want to pass out bootstraps, so all the starving children of the world can pull themselves up!"

or "I want to teach poor children to be selfish. It has always worked for me."

3. the few times I've seen her on her show she comes across just as vapid as Bachmann

and a total RW tool.

5. I understand many of her law school

classmates were not/are not particularly impressed either.
