John Wayne Gacy

The "Fox News Sunday," said Michele Bachmann Chris Wallace, "Of course, one must be careful with the statements they make. I think it's true." Two days later, she may have wished she had followed his own advice a little closer. After the kickoff presidential campaign, Bachmann has come in a cultural minefield joke by comparison with John Wayne in Waterloo, Iowa. The only John Wayne that has ever lived in Waterloo was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

The error left an easy opening for a flank attack. David Letterman spent four minutes into the incident on Monday evening, when we talk about "ugly and stupid stuff" politicians say.

It's "Morning Joe", Joe Scarborough laughs in the former Governor of Minnesota competitor TimPawlenty Bachmann, when Scarborough asked: "Do you have a serial killer in your city?"

Bachmann told CNN that people make mistakes and is working to introduce people to his "solid academic scholarship."

He continued: "John Wayne's parents 'first house' was in Waterloo, Iowa, and was from Iowa, and of course the main problem that I have feelings, John Wayne, who is patriotism, love of country, standing for our country, that positive enthusiasm is what America is all ... And, of course, the most important thing. "

One good thing is this way, I did hear the song creepily beautiful Sufjan Stevens "John Wayne Gacy, Jr."
