Last week Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) did one of two things: She either pulled a strategic negative publicity stunt or one of the biggest political faux pas of the century. Either way, she has just proven to the world that she isn’t in touch with reality as a whole.

Much like her Tea Party partner did during the Sarah Palin’s Alaska episode when Sarah invited Kate Gosselin to a “comfort-filled” camping trip, Michele’s latest news is resonating across the headlines like a reality-TV publicity stunt.

On January 24th, Michelle Bachmann released a proposal to cut more than $400 billion in federal spending. In her proposal she targeted veteran benefits using the following language:

“Reduce Veterans’ Disability Compensation to account for Social Security Disability Insurance payments.”

Bottom line: This is just a fancy way for her to say that our nation’s heroes are not entitled to the Social Security benefits that they paid into and rightfully deserve. She knows she can’t strip a deserving class of citizens of Social Security, so this is a strategic angle to accomplish the same outcome.
