Bachmann: 'Not going silent,' may run again

Rep. Michele Bachmann said she's "not going away" and may run again for the White House or another political office ... someday.

The Minnesota Republican talked to Sean Hannity of Fox News on Thursday night for her first interview since surprising the political world last week that she won't seek a fifth term in Congress next year.

"There's just a time when you've served, and then it's time to move on," Bachmann said. "I'm not retiring. I'm not going silent. I'm not quitting my public involvement. In fact, I may run for another political office."

If she runs for an office where other people can cast votes, not so much. She'll announce her Fox show contract in December 2014.

Instead of just providing us with comic relief, she should do something useful for us, for once

Cain, West, Palin, all will keep running for the money. Newt has shown it can very profitable to bad mouth the liberals and run for president and make a large amount of money doing it.
