Just after Michele Bachmman announced her presidential candidacy in her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, Monday morning, she told Fox News, "Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit that I have, too." But The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan reports that Bachmann got her John Waynes mixed up. The rugged manly-man movie star was born in Winterset, Iowa, three hours away. The John Wayne that Waterloo was home to is John Wayne Gacy, the "killer clown" who murdered 33 young men in the 1970s.

The first time Gacy was convicted of a crime was in Waterloo, in 1968, when he was convicted of attempted homosexual assault. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He later moved back to Illinois, where he began murdering people.

She does know that John Wayne was an actor, doesn't she?

That he really didn't fight at the Alamo or in the Pacific in WWII or in Viet Nam?

She understands that, right?

Opps, this is what happens when you rely on media matters, or dailykos.

Seems John Wayne and his parents did live - briefly - in this town.

Unless you want to now claim John Wayne lied in his own autobiography.

Seems John Wayne and his parents did live - briefly - in this town. Living in Waterloo - briefly - does not make one "from" Waterloo when you were born somewhere else and lived 90% of youtr life somewhere else.

Chyea...overnight to catch the train to California the next day.

Wayne was born in Iowa but not much else in Iowa. He was "from" Winterset, Iowa and he died as he lived most of his life, a Californian.

But it is hilarious to watch you folks contort the meaning of the word "from"...

So since Bachmann claims to have his 'spirit' does that make her a Democrat? :-)

Confusing Winterset and Waterloo isn't going to endear her to Iowans, especially when she is touting that she is "from" Iowa.

And that's the spirit that Bachmann now claims to have. Thanks for clarifying.

very busy, business has been great for the last 18 months or so, but we're all very nervous that the Republicans are going to sink the economy in August. We've put some additional hiring on hold for now.
