Kathy Griffin to Michele Bachmann: Were You Born a Bigot, or ... Photo

Kathy Griffin has been a recurring thorn in the side of the Palins, so it's no surprise that GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is in her sights now. Appearing on Conan this week, the comedian recalled meeting the Congresswoman in D.C. while researching for her rally to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. How did that run-in go?

First, Griffin says she asked the Minnesotan if she'd support an effort to repeal the law that banned homosexuals from serving openly in the military. Bachmann declined, so Griffin got personal: "Congresswoman Bachmann, were you born a bigot or did you, like, grow into it?" she asked, to her face. Her answer? "That's a good question. I'm gonna have to get back to ya." Now that would be a great presidential campaign slogan right there.
