A most unfortunate gaffe by Bachmann as she confuses John Wayne the actor with JW Gacy the Killer Clown. (Here's something about the Killer from the same site.)

I'm not a Bachmann fan, but it's sad to see her deliver this ugly gift to the Democrats right after the little Wallace gotcha question about being a "flake"; and they'll never this one die. She was supposed to be on Mark Levin tonight. I will try to see what he can salvage from this. Caught a bit of the start of his show, and he was going on about the "flake" remark, but didn't seem to have caught up to the John Wayne bumble yet.

I smell toast. Or, as a relative cleverly said, "And doesn't she look tired?" (You have to be a Dr. Who fan.)

Here is my follow-up comment.
