Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) met Sarah Palin Monday night, the Star Tribune reports -- and just as Bachmann hoped, she was able to get an autographed copy of Going Rogue.
Palin had been in Minnesota as part of her book tour, while Bachmann was paying a visit back home to headline a state Republican Party rally at the state Capitol, to promote a proposed state constitutional amendment to limit spending.
The two of them both attended a private fundraiser that night.
Palin signed Bachmann's book, with this personalization: "Michele, we love you."

Eric can shorten the body of this post to 2 letters: NT (no text). If those 2 letters had been included in the subject line it would save everyone a click.
yes I realize the irony of me taking the time to type this.

Apparently Sarah's now adopted the "royal we".

Strong, stalwart, virile men write to Sarah and Michele: "We love you both." They are glamorous, fascinating women.

Sorry, I don't do crazy.
But, you do have a point with "fascinating". I'm just not sure we're using the word in the same way.

What red blooded American male wouldn't love a three-way with Michele and Sarah! I think I could put politics aside for one night-- in the name of bipartisanship.

This male just barfed a little bit in the back of his mouth.
I don't know how much alcohol it would take to make that attractive to me, but I'm pretty sure I've never drunk that much.

Sarah and Michelle in the same room. Depending on the size of the crowd, that could have brought the net IQ of the entire room down to 0.
Or worse, it could have actually caused a black hole of intelligence capable of sucking whole libraries and institutions of higher learning into its vortex. Shudder.

My church lady sister used the royal "we" for years and years of her life. When she finally got married her husband was able to shut it down. We (meaning mulitple siblings) still wonder how he did it. I have yet to met anyone using the royal "we" that I would want to lead me down the driveway, let alone lead my country.
