Where did Michelle Bachmann and her husband fall in love?
(1) At a religious retreat.
(2) In law school.
(3) Working on a kibbutz.
(4) Campaigning for Jimmy Carter.
And the answer is…found at slide 4.
A few more fun facts about spouses and ex-spouses of this year’s GOP presidential contenders and near-contenders:
Newt Gingrich met his first wife in high school—but she was his geometry teacher. They married when he was 19 and she 26 (slide 5).
I had forgotten how exceedingly attractive Todd Palin is (slide 13).
Guiliani’s first wife was his second cousin once removed. He was allowed to get an annulment from the Catholic Church because when he married her, he had thought she was his third cousin (slide 14).
That’s interesting. I don’t recall reading anyone on the nets labeling Bachmann as a “flip-flopper”… do you?
In gong through the article at the link, I came across Ivana Trump, first wife of The Donald. Her reaction to marital infidelity: “Don’t get mad. Get everything!”
I don’t know if I would like to have that applied to me, but I still found it amusing.
Life can be messy.
Kind of humanizes them. Some have had trouble staying married, but that’s not particularly unusual these days.
Interesting to me that Bachmann’s husband and children have been almost invisible while Palin’s family were out in the limelight from day one. To each his own. Were I married to a politician, it would irritate me no end to have the bright light of the MSM shining on me. I suspect Bachmann’s husband feels that way.
The strangeness of humanity.
JJ, it was properly because Bachman heard from Palin what the Left was going to do to them, that allowed Bachman and her family to make an informed choice. They then chose to inform themselves that way.
