UPDATE: Well, commenters here are better than the media...seems John Wayne WAS born in Iowa. I swear, Daily Kos readers are better than all the MSM put together.
UPDATE 2:
Actually, both John Wayne's are from IOWA (3+ / 0-)

But, JW Gacy is from Waterloo, which is where she said JW was from. JW is from another town.
Minor correction, but, let's not correct a misstatement with a misstatement.

THANKS GDALPERT!
As she kicked off her Presidential Campaign, Bachmann said in an interview that just as John Wayne was from Iowa, that's the kind of spirit that she has too.
There's just one problem:
John Wayne isn't from Iowa. JOHN WAYNE GACY, THE SERIAL KILLER is from Iowa.
Leaving now for the store. There could be a shortage of popcorn during this campaign.

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 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.
