Bachmann update: Daily Show two nights in a row
Posted by: under 6th District, Health care, Minnesota congressional Updated: November 12, 2009 - 7:31 AM
By Bob von Sternberg
Evidently Jon Stewart has decided Rep. Michele Bachmann is the gift that keeps on giving, because he mocked her again Tuesday night, this time over her claims of the size of the crowd at last week's Capitol rally she organized. (For the record, he also nicked Fox News for cooking the crowd size estimate.)
It's the second item on the Nov. 11 show, titled, "Sean Hannity uses Glenn Beck's protest footage."
UPDATE: Hannity apologized Wednesday night, saying he "screwed up" by mixing crowd footage from an earlier rally with footage from last week. He called it "inadvertent."
