Bachmann concedes she misspoke on Wayne's hometown

(AP) – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is
acknowledging "misspeaking" occasionally, including wrongly claiming
that actor John Wayne was from her Waterloo, Iowa hometown, but says
she's "a substantive, serious person" who would be a good president.

Announcing her candidacy on Monday, Bachman flubbed her hometown history
in declaring "John Wayne was from Waterloo" and "that's the kind of
spirit that I have, too."

The actor was born nearly 150 miles away. It was the serial killer John
Wayne Gacy Jr. who lived, for a time, in Waterloo.

Bachmann said her comments "were just misspeaking."

(Bull****...it was just another example of her mindlessness)


"I wish I could be perfect," Bachmann told CNN on Tuesday. "I'm a
substantive, serious person" who has "good sense on how to turn the
economy around" as president.

(By eliminating the minimum wage?)



her family farm got 270K in USDA govt funds and her husband got 140K
in socialist medicaid benefits.

so she's in favor of socialism for HER....just not for anyone else
