Bachmann Admits John Wayne Flub

On day one of her presidential campaign, Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann was already insisting that she’s not a ” flake .” Today, on day two, she’s acknowledging a minor flub she made the day of her presidential kickoff speech Monday that elicited a few chuckles. Speaking from her home town of Waterloo, Iowa on Monday, Bachmann told Fox News, “John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too.” As the Washington Times first noted , however, the actor John Wayne was born nearly 150 miles away in Winterset, Iowa. John Wayne Gacy, Jr. — the serial killer — was born in Waterloo/ Stephanie Condon , CBS News. More here. (AP file photo of Michele Bachmann)
