Chris Matthews might have made the soundbite of the night during his interview with Michele Bachmann.



Matthews was pressing her on whether she would use her subpoena power to investigate Democrats for “un-American activities,” but Bachmann wasn’t going to budge from her talking points on jobs and the economy.

“Let me ask you, are you hypnotized tonight?” Matthews asked. “Has someone hypnotized you? Because no matter what I ask you, you give the same answer. Are you hypnotized? Has someone put you in a trance tonight? You gave me the same answer no matter what question I put to you.”

Off camera, Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson can be heard cracking up. But Bachmann didn’t skip a beat.

“I think the American people are the ones that are finally speaking tonight,” she said. “We’re coming out of our trance. Really, we’re coming out of our nightmare.”
