VIDEO: Failed glitter attack on Michele Bachmann.

UPDATE: Reader Kevin Green writes: “Where are the Republican security personnel? That crazy lunatic could easily have been carrying a knife or gun and she was allowed to get way too close to Michelle Bachmann. How many more Gabby Giffords must there be before Republicans begin to take candidate security seriously?”

And another reader emails: “In a post-Gabrielle Giffords political climate, it’s chilling to watch Bachmann’s fireplug ‘bodyguards’ stand there and take no preemptive action. Genuinely startling, who provided that security?”

I dunno. It’s a fine line between bodyguards who don’t move fast enough, and bodyguards who go all Patti LaBelle on people.
