Bachmann’s Pick for Political Director: A Birther

Best qualified man for the job

You can already see that Michele Bachmann’s presidential run will be an epic wingnut saga of far right dimmitude; her first campaign hire would reportedly be a Birther. Classic.

Earlier this week, reports came out that Bachmann was planning to set up an exploratory committee in June or earlier. CNN also reported yesterday that according to one source, if she runs, “Iowa Republican state Sen. Kent Sorenson will likely be hired to be Bachmann’s political director for the state — and that Bachmann aides hope to have a complete team together for Iowa by this weekend.”

Sorenson (R) introduced a bill this month that would require any presidential candidate to present a birth certificate for public inspection before getting on the Iowa ballot.

Sorenson, who has previously announced his support for a Bachmann candidacy, certainly has a fringe-curious track record to match Bachmann’s, even aside from the birtherism.

He pushed legislation to make gold and silver legal tender in the state, and sponsored a bill that would require random drug-testing for recipients of government benefits.

Sorenson also voted against a bill that makes it illegal to refuse a blood-alcohol content test when carrying a firearm, and for one that legalizes dove-hunting.
