Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but sometimes it isn't.
Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is becoming quite adept at sticking things in her mouth, like her foot.

On the Tonight Show, Jay Leno challenged her positions on everything from taxes to the gays. Leno asked, “If you become president, and you seem pretty strident in your views, could you comprise?” Bachmann interrupted “Convicted. I’m convicted.” The comedian corrected her, “Convicted? No, you don’t get convicted until after you’re in office. That’s later. You have to get elected first.”

I’m ‘convinced’ the only way Republicans can win is by not opening their very big mouths.
