I can’t get through an hour without some new embarrassing Michele Bachmann story popping up. From her mangling American history to mangling basic math to confusing a cowboy movie star with a serial killer, she’s a comedy writer’s dream come true.

Now it seems Team Bachmann has been served with a a cease-and-desist order by Team Petty. Ouch. Way to ruin her schmomentum, Tom.

Via Rolling Stone:

The Minnesota congresswoman played “American Girl” yesterday when she walked onstage at a rally, and Rolling Stone has confirmed reports that Petty’s management team immediately sent the Bachmann campaign a cease and desist letter.

I guess Petty’s not endorsing Michele any time soon.

Here are the lyrics. Somebody tell me what relevance they have to her campaign.

    “Don’t Come Around Here No More” would be more apt for this idiot.

    Now if there was a song called “Dead Shark Eyes,” that’d be perfect!!

    It’s about a girl who committed suicide in Gainesville, isn’t it?

    She also used “Start Me Up.” I always love when someone uses “Start Me Up” for their campaign or commercial.  It has the classic, wholesome, All-American line: “you make a dead man come.”  Well maybe if the dead man is Strom Thurmond.

    Jim Newell in Gawker groused about the shitty music those covering Bachmann will now have to hear on a daily basis. Poor sods…

    iirc, “american girl” was the song playing in “silence of the lambs” when the senator’s daughter got snatched by buffalo bill.
    does bachmann have an unconscious  thing for serial killers?
