Bachmann blames gaffes on busy speaking schedule

[IDemo]

During a press availability following a speech in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Friday, Michele Bachmann was asked about a narrative that hasn’t gone away during the seven weeks she has been a presidential candidate: verbal gaffes.

“When you speak six times a day, slip-ups can occur,” Bachmann said.

The comment is the most frank Bachmann has been to date about a series of statements, dating prior to her announcement for president, that have caught notice by the public and in some cases have provoked clarifications from the candidate or her staff.

Appearing as a guest Thursday on a conservative talk radio show, Bachmann made reference to the cold war during a discussion of America’s modern-day position in the world. “There’s a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline,” Bachmann said. “They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward.”

7. "Bachmann blames gaff on busy presidenting schedule"

Sure, no problem, I'm sure that the surviving citizens of Tripoli, Lebanon will express understanding after President Bachmann airbursts a couple of nukes overhead.

It might cost her votes in Tripoli, Greece; Tripoli, Iowa, USA, and New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, USA.

9. Bachmann blames gaffes on her own stupidity

She said on Friday, "I realize I'm far too stupid to be President, but I want to sleep in the Lincoln bed so bad. That is the only reason I'm running for President. I pray to God every night to make me smarter.... but I'm just sunk in the cesspool called stupidity and there is no way to get out."
