Michele Bachmann gets her Elvis anniversaries mixed up

"Before we get started, let's all say 'Happy Birthday' to Elvis Presley today,” Bachmann said, according to a video posted by Politico. “You can't do better than Elvis Presley.”

As the campaign has grown more stressful, the media coverage has become more intense. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has found himself on the wrong end of such comments as calling Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke treasonous if the central bank launched another round of quantitative easing.

In formally announcing her presidential run from her birthplace of Waterloo, Iowa, Bachmann cited the sprit of John Wayne. “That’s the kind of spirit I have, too,” she said.

Wayne, however, was actually born Marion Morrison in Winterset, Iowa, more than 100 miles to the south. The most famous John Wayne from Waterloo was John Wayne Gacy, the notorious “killer clown” of Chicago, who was convicted of killing more than 30 young men in the 1970s.

Bachmann’s campaign later pointed out that the parents of John Wayne, the actor, lived in Waterloo for a time.

2. Birth day, death day, something changed in Elvis' life that day.

I become more and more curious about the meds she takes.

Wouldn't that be a bit of irony if she were found face down in the toilet after choking to death on a corn dog.

3. What a dingbat!

4. Just imagine this woman getting control of our nuclear arsenal.

She's libel to nuke Paraguay when she meant to nuke Pakistan. She might invade Sardinia when she's advised to invade Somalia. Details! Details!

5. People who cannot admit to error have a serious character flaw.

People are human. Humans make mistakes.

6. I think he's dead Jim

Who would have thunk that a religious whacko thug candidate would also love Elvis?:crazy:
