Meghan McCain: Michele Bachmann is a "poor man's Sarah Palin"

There's an old Arab proverb that says "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." In that sense, I actually kind of like Meghan McCain. She broke with her dad on gay rights, she writes for the Huffington Post, and seems pretty clever. Plus, she's a vehement critic of the Tea Party.
Check out this video last night, where she chews out Michele Bachmann — and CNN for airing her speech — calling her a "poor man's Sarah Palin" who couldn't even look into the camera correctly. It's a refreshing invective against infighting — both within the Republican Party and within our toxic political culture at large — and worth a watch.
For more humorous Michele Bachmann commentary, here's Jon Stewart mocking her inability to look into the camera.

that's funny, I've been calling Palin, Bush-lite for years
Meghan McCain, you're pathetic. Which is why MSNBC likes you.
A lesser Palin? That's just harsh.
Ms. Bachman was looking into a Tea Party webcam, rather than a network TV camera, or so I've been told. If so, it's a technical error, not a political one. In any event: as a poor man, I'm no more impressed with Ms. Bachman than I am with Ms. Palin.
I thought Sarah Palin already was a poor man's Sarah Palin.
Now you say something
