Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., attacked Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, for mandating a vaccine against HPV that benefited a drug company connected to Perry by a campaign contributor. Perry rebutted that he got roughly $5000 from the donor and said that he was “offended” that Bachmann suggested he could be bought for such a number. Bachmann said she was “offended” on behalf of the young girls exposed to HPV.

The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney has written about this issue, calling Rick Perry a “cowboy corporatist.” Now Michele Bachmann’s campaign has written on “Rick Perry’s Crony Capitalism” problem as well:
