Should Rep. Michelle Bachmann named to the House Intelligence Committee?

Republican Michelle Bachmann was just named to the House Intelligence Committee. Is this a good appointment or the height of irony in your eyes? She may be faking her folksy bona-fides for all I know. She may be smart as a fox. She does manage to keep getting reelected despite her monumental verbal gaffes and wild conspiracy theory thinking. But doesn’t it ring odd that her Republican colleagues would choose her, of all people, to “work on the Intelligence Committee? Did they think that having her sit in that room, some intelligence might soak into her given sufficient time?
