Forbes ranks Michele Bachmann as the 22nd most powerful woman in the world, while placing Sarah Palin below her, at 34th.
Even more damningly for Forbes' hopes of ever getting a Palin interview -- the magazine lists her under the "celebrity/lifestyle" category, while Bachmann gets a "Politics."
The remaining "celebrity/lifestyle" entries are Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres, Gisele, and J.K. Rowling.
