The left is having a hathos-moment, giddily pointing out that Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are scheduled to meet today in the Twin Cities. "Rep. Michele Bachmann is set to meet tonight for the first time with Sarah Palin," writes Josh Marshall.

Sorry, guys. Palin and Bachmann have met before. Bachmann recently told me she met Palin in the summer of 2008, during John Boehner's "American Energy" tour. Bachmann met Palin again once she had been named John McCain's running mate, at the convention and at a huge campaign rally in Blaine, Minnesota.

Facts, please.
