Paul Ryan: Michele Bachmann threw SNL, Jon Stewart off my trail [VIDEO]

Paul Ryan, right, figures Michele Bachmann helped him look serious.

​

Instead, Michele Bachmann decided to freelance with her own State of the Union speech, looked into the wrong camera, and became a national punch line.

Ryan's glad she did.

During a Q&A at Marquette University, he was asked what he thought about our Sixth District congresswoman stealing his thunder.

"What I see is: Michele threw Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart off my trail," he said.

Then he added, "That's a joke," in case anyone missed it.

Watch Ryan, then see SNL's mockery of Bachmann here.
