Michelle’s mistakes

What exactly is that thing
  Michele Bachmann is holding?
Looks like a crack pipe to me.

It wasn’t the first time she was wrong by any stretch of the imagination, but it was my favorite. Tea Party darling Michele Bachmann flew to the place where she was born, Waterloo, Iowa. this past weekend to announce her candidacy for President of the United States. In her announcement the Minnesota representative compared herself to movie hero John Wayne, who, she said, was also from Waterloo.

Not so, Michelle. John Wayne was from Winterset, Iowa, but left there as soon as possible to get to California. It was John Wayne Gacy, the noted serial killer, who helped put Waterloo on the road to notoriety.

But that’s just the tip of the Bachmann Mistake Iceberg. Factcheck.org took a look at some of her other boo-boos.

Wait! There’s more. According to a recent Rolling Stone profile, "Bachmann is exactly the right kind of completely batshit crazy. Not medically crazy, not talking-to-herself-on-the-subway crazy, but grandiose crazy, late-stage Kim Jong-Il crazy — crazy in the sense that she’s living completely inside her own mind, frenetically pacing the hallways of a vast sand castle she’s built in there, unable to meaningfully communicate with the human beings on the other side of the moat, who are all presumed to be enemies."
