Michele Bachmann says she oozes love for Garrison Keillor
It's hard to imagine a more odd coupling: Shoot-from-the-hip, say-anything-to-Sean-Hannity congresswoman Michele Bachmann, and oh-so-errudite-in-red-shoes, author-of-Homegrown-Democrat radio host Garrison Keillor. 
Look at this guy. What's not to love?
Here's a woman, after all, who made Minnesotans blush when she couldn't keep her paws of former President George W. Bush on the floor of the House of Representatives. Meanwhile, Bush became a staple of Keillor's newspaper columns and Prairie Home Companion monologues, cast primarily in the role of a dolt.
But Bachmann tells Tim Budig of ECM that it's true, she adores the Bard of Anoka.
"He and I are on the opposite side of our political beliefs. But I adore him," she said."I think he's brilliant. I think he's a genius," said Bachmann.
"Our family listens (to A Prairie Home Companion), and we just laugh every Saturday," she said.
Bachmann sees the goodness of the people in the 6th District revealed in Keillor's works.
Go figure.
