From the It Does (n't) Get (Any) Better (than this
"...But Marcus Bachmann! He's a true star. It's about time a husband got some humiliating scrutiny. (Todd Palin just got the regular line that all female candidates get about how he secretly runs the campaign and is the real boss of the operation.) It helps that Mr. Bachmann is worth hating for reasons that go beyond who he's married to: He runs a creepy "pray-away-the-gay" clinic that's pretty clearly operating in violation of its government contract, which specifies no proselytizing. He calls gay people "barbarians" who need to be "disciplined." He's obviously a horrible bigot doing god-knows-what to the poor gay kids sent to his quack clinic. (And the ultra-religious adults struggling with their attempt to deny their totally natural urges.)
The fun thing, though, is that everyone is treating Bachmann like a candidate's wife. Because ... uh ... have you seen this video? And longer, older one? He is anti-gay closet case direct from central casting. It almost doesn't matter whether he prayed away his own homosexual urges or not, he sounds like Buddy Cole."
