"Minnesota Nice" is actually an epithet. It refers to the practice of appearing to be nice, while undermining people behind the scenes with a kind of passive-aggressive dishonesty. It's a form of reserved hostility in tune with the state's cold climate and its Scandinavian heritage.

It speaks volumes about Michele Bachmann that she is apparently oblivious to such subtleties. It's hilarious and ironic that she made "Minnesota Nice" the theme of her speech to the Republican National Convention.
