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.The campaign should be fun, unless the electorate goes completely crazy and elects Bachmann.
The only problem, as one eagle-eyed reader notes: Waterloo's John Wayne was not the beloved movie star, but rather John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer.
In case you wonder, John Wayne, the movie actor, was born in Iowa but in Winterset, Iowa, so it's an easy mistake to make, right? Except it's best not to make the mistake in Waterloo. Will the mistake be Bacnmann's Waterloo? Of course not.
