Quote of the Day: Palin's Head-Exploding Effect

Jared Keller Apr 8, 2010
"If you think Palin and Bachmann drive liberals crazy now, just wait until the 112th Congress convenes in January 2011, when there will be dozens of Palins and Bachmanns. The reaction will be like a David Lynch movie. Heads will explode."

--The Weekly Standard's Matthew Continetti, on the potential outcome of the current conservative enthusiasm surrounding Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann
