Which is it Michele Bachmann? Are you dumber than a fifth-grader or are you too cocky to give a damn about copyright infringement? Given the fact that you are an attorney, I’m sure you have heard of that term.
However, Politico covers for you, by noting that you may not have received the cease and desist letter yet, so we’ll wait and see…

Maybe Tom Petty’s cease-and-desist letter hasn’t arrived yet.
The singer was reportedly nonplussed that Michele Bachmann played his “American Girl” classic when she officially kicked off her presidential campaign in Iowa Monday.
Yet the song blasted over the loudspeakers again immediately following Bachmann’s Tuesday night speech in South Carolina.
After playing for exactly 29 seconds, it abruptly stopped.
There was just enough time for the lyrics: “Yeah, she was an American girl – raised on promises.”
Then “Walking on Sunshine” came on in its place.
We’ll have to check if Katrina and The Waves have anything to say about this.

It takes a lot of balls for this fucking nut bag, to be using songs without permission of the writers and owners of the songs.
Well Don, maybe we should call her a “nut ball“.
Agreed!
Why feuding with Tom Petty when there’s a perfect song for her?
LOL! Good one jean-philippe!
