Letters: Bachmann’s predictable path

Re “Bachmann bows out of House race,” May 30

Now that Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann’s star is waning in Washington, she will do what 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin did and cash in before she becomes politically irrelevant. Watch for the 2012 GOP presidential primary candidate to make millions delivering speeches, becoming a conservative media star with her own television or radio show, writing a book or doing something else lucrative.

It is all very predictable these days — national politics as a stepping stone to great wealth in the partisan celebrity-media circus.
