Matthews entranced by Michele Bachman

As was expected, Republicans seized control of the House on the night of Election 2010. The highest profile move featured Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) bumping Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from the speakership One memorable and unexpected moment had been Chris Matthews’ CNBC interview with victorious incumbent Bachmann (R-Minn.), writes Mediaite. Bachmann ignored Matthews’ persistent questions regarding subpoena power and whether Republicans would go after Democrats for alleged "un-American activities" by repeating the totally unrelated party line. This prompted Matthews to ask "Senator Bachmann, have you been hypnotized tonight?".

The witch hunt Bachmann put together she wanted out of

Michele Bachmann maybe did not want to spoil what was going on since Election 2010 had been a Republican victory. Matthews has had her talk about Republicans a lot. She keeps saying that jobs and lower taxes are one of the most essential thing to think about now since "the American people have spoken" about what they want. However, Bachmann’s failure to even acknowledge Chris Matthews’ subpoena power question made for hilarious (some would say cringe-worthy) political television. Matthews is known as a commentator on shows like "Hardball." Michele Bachmann's responses were something he could not ignore because of this.

"Has someone hypnotized you? Because no matter what I ask you, you give the same answer," he asked. This was what he had been saying to her. Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and others on CNBC were chuckling as he said this.

‘Not quite so tingly on your leg’

Whether or not Senator Bachmann had been in a state of hypnosis, she came out of it pretty well nevertheless. She stated that the American individuals are "coming out of their hypnotic trance," which helped her recover. Matthews then heard her say, "I think individuals are thrilled tonight. I imagine that thrill is probably possibly not quite so tingly on your leg anymore; I'm not sure about that."

The interview got over while nobody understood what the tingly leg reference had been about. This is why Matthews then explained the reference. During the 2008 presidential election, Chris Matthews spoke about how he felt when Obama spoke. He said that he got a "tingle of excitement" when he heard Obama speaking. Matthews stated he did not say the word "tingle." He did say he had been excited that year though.

Matthews states Bachmann was in a trance

As was anticipated, Republicans seized control of the House on the night of Election 2010. The highest profile move featured Rep. Boehner (R-Ohio) bumping Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from the speakership Something that wasn’t exactly anticipated was what became of the interview CNBC’s Chris Matthews attempted to conduct with winning incumbent Republican Sen. Bachmann of Minnesota, accounts Mediaite. After Bachmann dodged a question regarding subpoena power and Republicans going forward with investigations against Democrats for un-American activities several times, Matthews cut through Bachmann’s party-line reaction with perhaps the funniest line to come out of Election 2010: "Senator Bachmann, have you been hypnotized tonight?".

Bachmann wanted from the whole witch hunt thing

Republicans made a victory in the Election 2010. Michele Bachmann might have been trying to be happy about that. As she told Matthews time and time again, the Republicans feel that "the American individuals have spoken" and that jobs and lower taxes are paramount now. However, Bachmann’s failure to even acknowledge Chris Matthews’ subpoena power question made for hilarious (some would say cringe-worthy) political television. A feisty commentator on such shows as "Hardball," Matthews simply couldn’t let Michele Bachmann’s trance-like response go.

"Has someone hypnotized you? Because no matter what I ask you, you give the exact same answer," he stated. Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and others on CNBC were chuckling as he said this.

Stated she is ‘Not quite so tingly on your leg’

Once Sen. Michele Bachmann (hypnotized or not) realized she could no longer press rewind and nevertheless conserve face in the interview, she made reference to the American individuals "coming out of their trance," which was at least a partial recovery, suggested the pundits. Matthews then heard her say, "I think individuals are thrilled tonight. I imagine that thrill is probably maybe not quite so tingly on your leg anymore; I'm not sure about that."

After the interview was complete, Matthews explained the tingly leg reference as follows. Chris Matthews said that he got a "tingle of excitement" when Obama spoke during the 2008 presidential elections. Matthews stated he didn't say the word "tingle." He did say he was excited that year though.
