This story went a little viral yesterday. It seems that Michele Bachmann has the same innate ability as Sarah Palin to eat her shoes.
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.
On the eve of formally announcing her candidacy, 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.
This is so much fun. Here is the story from Huffington Post.
I’m taking a wild guess; – the John Wayne hometown birth error was on every TV “News” channel.
How many “news” stations carried Obama’s “57 states” comment?
I saw that video for the first time – I swear to ___ BHO came off as a f**king moron. No offense intended – ’cause it’s the truth.
Our Muslim President, Barack Hussein Obama, was referring to the 57 Islamic nations in the OIC.
FROM YAHOO ANSWERS …
Does anyone know how many Islamic states there are? Here is what I found…?
The Question:
Does anyone know how many Islamic states there are? Here is what I found on the net…
The Answer:
A group called the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The OIC has 57 member states. The majority religion in these states is not necessarily Islam, but leaders in these countries believe it is necessary to “. . . speak with one voice to safeguard the interests and secure the progress and well-being of their peoples and of all Muslims in the world.”

I’m sorry Robert but is Obama Muslim or has he been listening to a radical Christian pastor for the past 20 years?
Even if he were Muslim, so what? Timothy McVeigh was a Catholic. Radicals are radicals and President Obama isn’t a radical.
Then again, LaRouche followers are as cultish as members of the Westboro Bapist Church.
The Barack Hussein Obama regime puts Israel on Terrorists Nations list and removes North Korea.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General published the list of “specially designated countries” as an appendix to an unclassified May 11 report–”Supervision of Aliens Commensurate With Risk“–that was publicly posted on the Internet. (The appendix is on page 18 of the document.) [Scroll to page 21]

Bachmann does more than “misspeak”. She intentionally (ignorantly) bends the truth and distorts history to meet her needs. That’s a little more serious than failing her hometown geography.
Michelle Bachmann is not ignorant. Tell me one politician that does not shape the facts to suit there constituencies – Ted Kennedy perhaps? ha – ha – ha – ha – ha !!
