Michele Bachmann told Fox News, “[W]hat I want them to know is, just like John Wayne was

from Waterloo, Iowa. That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too....
Rep. Michele Bachmann, the unhinged Republican presidential candidate, desperately wants the public to believe she’s a “serious person,” and not at all a “flake.” She could start by avoiding mistakes like these:
Rep. Michele Bachmann kicked off her presidential campaign on Monday in Waterloo, Iowa, and in one interview surrounding the official event she promised to mimic the spirit of Waterloo’s own John Wayne.


HUH?
That's him?
also known as the Killer Clown who committed the rape and murder of 33 teenage boys and young men


Following a lucrative offer from Gacy's father-in-law to appoint him manager of three KFC restaurants, Gacy and his wife moved from Illinois and settled in Waterloo, Iowa. Gacy and his wife had two children; a son named Michael, born in March 1967, followed by a daughter named Christine in January 1969. Shortly after his arrival in the city, Gacy had his first sexual experience with a man: a colleague of the Waterloo Jaycees—which Gacy had joined upon his arrival in the city—fellated Gacy while he was drunk. Gacy was an enthusiastic worker for the Waterloo Jaycees, becoming a tireless worker on several fund-raising projects. In 1967, he was named "outstanding vice-president" of the Waterloo Jaycees.These achievements even earned approval from his father, who mentioned his previous criticism of his son during a 1967 visit to Waterloo and concluded the conversation with his son with the words: "Son, I was wrong about you." Gacy's double life in Waterloo came to a sudden halt in March 1968 when two local boys, aged 15 and 16, accused him of sexually assaulting them. The Court ruled in her favor and the divorce was final in September 1969. Gacy never saw his first wife or children again
