John Wayne Gacy gaffe delights Michele Bachmann opponents
By Melissa Bell

On “Fox News Sunday,” Michele Bachmann told Chris Wallace, “Of course a person has to be careful with statements that they make. I think that's true.” Two days later, she may have wished she had followed her own advice a bit more closely. After her presidential campaign kickoff, Bachmann stepped into a cultural joke minefield by comparing herself to John Wayne of Waterloo, Iowa. The only John Wayne that ever lived in Waterloo was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

The mistake has left an easy opening for a flank attack. David Letterman spent four minutes on the incident Monday night, discussing the “ugly and dumb things”politicians say.

On “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough shared a laugh with former Minnesota governor TimPawlenty, a Bachmann rival, when Scarborough asked, “Do you have any serial killers from your hometown?”

Bachmann told CNN that people make mistakes ..........

Let us hope such people never have their finger on the nation's nuclear arsenal!
