Michele Bachmann’s New Campaign Ad Compares Her To Margaret Thatcher
Michele Bachmann has a new ad airing in the lovely state of Iowa (Lucky Iowans. I’m sure they were just dying for another campaign ad right about now). The ad, her first television commercial in months, is called “America’s Iron Lady” and it’s exactly what you think it is from that title.
…unless you’re imagining some kind of super hero thing with Bachmann as a crime fighting woman made of metal. In that case it’s nothing like what you think.
No, Bachmann is making good on the comparison she’s been making a lot lately, holding herself up as our nation’s answer to Margaret Thatcher. Bachmann’s team is clearly hoping to grab some steam off the new Thatcher biopic out in theaters. Really though, chances are good that, in 2012 (hey, look, it’s 2012!), the only benefit coming from Thatcher’s name is going to go straight to Meryl Streep’s Oscar chances.
Really, if Bachmann wants to genuinely capture the nation’s cinematic zeitgeist, she should start growing a mohawk and declare herself “America’s Lisbeth Salander.” Now, that’d make for some fascinating debates.
Watch the new ad below:
