Bachmann Took Half a Mil in Fed Home Loans From Programs She Despises!

The Washington Post has it:
Just a few weeks before Bachmann called for dismantling the programs during a House Financial Services Committee hearing, she and her husband signed for a $417,000 home loan to help finance their move to a 5,200-square-foot golf-course home, public records show. Experts who examined the loan documents for The Washington Post say that they are confident the loan was backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Okay, it's shy of half a million, but still. I guess the devil made her do it, or an alternate personality signed off on the paperwork. I'm sure her campaign war room is hard at work on an excuse. Here's my bet:

"She was unfortunately forced to use this program, as no other was available, blah blah blah...," even though she got some other funding at the same time. Or: "I didn't know where this was coming from, since it went through the bank, etc."

She has an excuse factory cranking them out day and night lately.
