MINNESOTA - Putting away laundry was the last place a Minnesota woman thought she’d have a spiritual moment. But there it was: an image she saw as a manifestation of Michele Bachman on the bottom of her iron.

“I wouldn’t say it’s a miracle, but it made me say ‘Wow!’ ” said Mary Jo Coady, who was “uplifted” after first noticing the scorched image Sunday.

“I didn’t panic,” Coady told the Herald. “I was carrying the laundry, looked down at the iron and there was the image of Bachmann. I picked it up and asked my daughters to take a look at it to make sure I wasn’t crazy. They said I wasn’t but Bachmann certainly was.”

Reached for comment, Rep. Bachman said it made sense.

“In a time like these when communist heathen devil-worshipers run the country and the world, it only makes sense that you’d start seeing images of righteous people like myself,” said Bachmann, playing with a twirly cap on her head. “The Lord picked wisely on this.”

Coady said the finding made her see Jesus in a whole new light.

“I was going through personal issues and this reaffirmed my faith,” said Coady. “Believe it or not, finding and seeing that image was very uplifting. My faith was down, but seeing this made me think, wow, Bachmann is there. Jesus must have a really warped sense of humor.”

Still, Coady says she doesn’t have any major plans for the household appliance.

“I’m not saying it’s a big holy thing. I’m not going to go on tour with it. I don’t want people showing up at my house because it’s not going to do anything magic,” she explained. “It’s just a nice thing to share with people who do believe, like I do, that Michele Bachman is a deranged maniac, and even Jesus agrees.”
