Later today Michelle will be traveling to Chicago to honor the Fox TV sitcom legend Ted Bundy.

Sorry bozo, but Gacy was born in Chicago.

Why did you have to put Sufjan Stevens in the article though? Oh Alex must be a female.

He lived in Waterloo where incidentally he raped two boys and was jailed. Maybe that is what Bachmann was channeling?

It happens to everyone, no harm. It is kind of bad when the writer messes up the headline though because that is all anyone is going to talk about.

It helps. It also helps if you stay there. Gacy moved back to Chicago, Illinois.

I see that someone over at Mediaite has corrected Alex’s mistake.

If you guys really want to get technical, which I can see you do. Gacy didn’t move back to Chicago he moved to Des Plaines IL which is in the suburbs, not technically in Chicago where he committed the majority of his crimes. About 5 miles from me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The HILARIOUSNESS has begun! First day no less!!

Hey teabloggers, how long did the REAL John Wayne live in Waterloo, Iowa?

Never?

That’s what I thought.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

“Hometown” is also considered the place of one’s principal residence. Gacy lived in Waterloo for approx. 4 years, This was in his formative 20′s. He began his blight on humanity in Waterloo.

Jon Stewart, Maher, and the rest of late night will have fun with this one! Everybody loves a clown. Personally I only like Pierrot.

Has anyone ever looked in John Wayne’s aka Marion Mitchell Morrison’s basement?

I forgive Mediaite totally, when this hit the wire everyone in their newsroom was frantically trying to get this out as fast as they could. This is Mediaite’s bread and butter and they got scooped big time. The only thing I can’t forgive is Alex insisting on inserting Sufjan Stevens in the article for no apparent reason. He is horrible.

The Borking of Michele Bachmann is about to begin. I think the Progressives want to make sure the first female President is a Democrat.

No Borking has to take place, Bachmann is doing it to herself. Even Fox is giving her major cover today, when was the last time you ever saw a Fox host apologize for anything, the only thing I can think of is when that one guy said that racist thing about Obama a couple of weeks ago and that was like a 10 second oops sorry.

We don’t need Ted Kennedy to take down this woman she is doing it all on her own.

Bachmann is now trying to spin her imbroglio. These Abba lyrics are for Michele:

And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise you’ll love me forever more

Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

No chance. Bachmann’s contempt for the Left is almost as great as Sarah Palin’s. She won’t let those fools get in her way.

Sarah who?

Since she’s a flake, maybe a cereal killer IS her hero.

My understanding is that John Wayne Gacy’s artwork was worth up to a half million dollars by the time he was lethally injected. I have seen some of his work online and it gives me the creeps. Gacy ruined the reputation of the clown industry in America.

I am still down with Homey D. clown as well as Pierrot. Other clowns creep me out.

Committing adultery, getting drunk, driving off a bridge, drowning a young woman, and then not bothering to report the accident until the next day is no big deal. It certainly doesn’t rise to the level of Bachmann’s verbal gaffe.

Although I still come here to read and post, this article alone, has sealed it for me.

Mediaite staff don’t live on the left edge, they live in liberal looney land, far left, along with their founder and their managing editor.

Alex or any other mediaite staff could not find it news worthy that the President of the United States embarrassed himself and the 10th Mountain Division, not to mention the MOH recipients and their families, by getting it wrong when he addressed the troops last week. A major gaffe by a sitting President, one that mediaite completely ignored. And now, we get headlines about Michelle Bachmann and John Wayne, and FALSE ones at that.

Liberal looney land, filled with lies and misrepresentations as long as they are about cvonservative, and conservative women in particular. Alex you should be ashamed of yourself and Dan you should lay down some rules for your staff and forget about any rules for your posters. You staff are lacking in their honesty and are overabundently leftists.

Alex, you take the cake today – congrats for being the biggest clymer on the board today. (so far anyway, TC hasn’t weighed in on this yet; although he made several excuses for not reporting on the MOH story, I’m sure he will find lots of reasons for reporting on this one).

It is a game. The left laughs when someone on the right makes a gaffe. We laugh when Obama does it. And at the rate Obama does it, it’ll be our turn again pretty soon. All part of the game.

Lefties are really stretching here; John wayne is from Iowa, Gacy is from the home town of Obama.

Poor Alex, she just can’t get her stuff together; she had to jump on the meme set up by the liberal media in order to attack Bachmann -it is just what left leaning women do, theyattack conservative women. As members of NOW (or maybenot), perhaps Alexshould justchange the headline of this article to say:

Bachman is a dumb bitch….that is what NOW would say,. and the ladies of the view; Alex is no better than them, she joins the crowd, thinks inside the box, and is unable to stand out and say what Bachman intended.l..that John wayne is a home town boy, born in the same state that Bachman was born in….but the mediaite staff only explain things when democrats mess up – no matter how serious (liketh eMOH story that Alex and her colleagues INGORED) or other stories where they work overtime to tell us what the individual meant (like MichelleObama when she said she was thankiful that the media was on her side and TC made up some story about what she meant).

Well, clearly, Alexis on theside of the Obamas, as is Dan,. and the rest of the mediaite staff…..making mountains out of molehills, working overtime to slander Bachmann while making up storiesto protect hehimself the one, their almight cult leader.

Isn’t Iowa the 57th State that Obama visited?

Or was that Kansas where Obama told us 10,000 people died in a tornado?

Could have been in New York where Obama couldn’t even remember that he gave the medal of honor to a dead soldier!

Simply a meaningless gaffe, but it sure was a doosey

Better to channel the spirit of John Wayne then that of terrorist Bill Ayers, Racist Rev. Wright and radical Sal Alinksy!!

Following a lucrative offer from Gacy’s father-in-law to appoint him manager of three KFC restaurants,[16] Gacy and his wife moved from Illinois and settled in Waterloo, Iowa.

What, do you have to be born there to make it your home?

Merely the conservative bloggers scrambling for arguments that don’t matter and they don’t need.

It was a gaffe , and nothing more. A funny one, but still just a gaffe.

Sorry Greg, but Alex messed up here. Bachmann was talking about home boy Iowan John Wayne, she never said Gacy, never once. Alex and the rest of the media made up that part.

So, Alex knows all about Gacy, but doesn’t know a damn thing about MOH winners, and who is alive andwho is not. Apparently, neither does Obama, but hey – embarrassing youself over the troops is NOT news, talking about John Wayne, not Gacy, is news to the liberal let.

I don’t know enough about Bachmann and am interested in her so when this broke I thought well maybe they are right and she is a flake. I read that it was John Wayne Gacy and not John Wayne who came from the area. Turns out you are all nit picking about it when both lived in the area and only John Wayne was born in the area. So what? She said John Wayne and he was born there and many in the state are proud of that. If John Wayne had not been born in the area and only John Wayne Gacy who had lived there then this might have had some significance but it turns out it is only liberals trying to make something up. Appears she said John Wayne and she meant John Wayne. She must be a real threat if all you can get on her is this.

Yes I’m sure Nacho, she said John Wayne, who was indeed born in her home state….the left wing media is making up sh!t again; she never said Gacy….just some leftiest decided to make an issue of something she never said, and mediaite jumped right on board and carried the bs story.

Just like mediaite jumped on board spiking the MOH gaffe story that hehimself did; they did that because Michelle Obama was right – the media is on the side of the Obama’s, despite what Tommy wrote about.

She specifically mentioned Waterloo. The only John Wayne to live in Waterloo was John Wayne Gacy.

The other one was from a town 3 hours away.

TfT said:
Yes I’m sure Nacho, she said John Wayne, who was indeed born in her home state….the left wing media is making up sh!t again; she never said Gacy….just some leftiest decided to make an issue of something she never said, and mediaite jumped right on board and carried the bs story.

Just like mediaite jumped on board spiking the MOH gaffe story that hehimself did; they did that because Michelle Obama was right – the media is on the side of the Obama’s, despite what Tommy wrote about.

Again, the reference wasn’t to Iowa, it was to Waterloo, Iowa. One John Wayne lived in Waterloo, Iowa–the serial killing one. The other was from a town 3 hours away.

are you sure nobody with the name just john wayne ever lived in waterloo, using your logic ofcourse

TfT said:
Sorry Greg, but Alex messed up here. Bachmann was talking about home boy Iowan John Wayne, she never said Gacy, never once. Alex and the rest of the media made up that part.

So, Alex knows all about Gacy, but doesn’t know a damn thing about MOH winners, and who is alive andwho is not. Apparently, neither does Obama, but hey – embarrassing youself over the troops is NOT news, talking about John Wayne, not Gacy, is news to the liberal let.

This article and it’s author deserve every bit of criticism they are getting.

Nacho said:
Are you sure about that?

The only John Wayne to share her home town was the fellow with the murderous proclivities. The other John Wayne, while a much better man was a drunkard, racist and draft dodger… So I guess we could add that to the story if you wish.

As BFD pointed out, birth is not the only measure… Holding a primary residence is a qualifier by definition.

John Wayne (the actor) was thirty four when WWII started. He didn’t dodge the draft.

John Wayne was an American hero. He lived in a time when a man was a man and a woman was a woman. But now we have the leftists trying to destroy Western Civilization from within. He was a great promoter of America, and a beacon of light for mankind.

Yes she did but I still say it is nit picking. Again if John Wayne had not come from the area I would believe it an indication of a flake but as is it is just an insignificant mistake. The liberals are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Again, Bachmann was talking about John wayne not Gacy….wow, you guys just make up stuff left and right. I guess lefties know they can lie, cheat and steal and the leftwing lamestream media will cover up for them, just like the do the bidding for the Obama’s.;

Unbelievaeble.

That the left is making a story of this is humorous, and demonstrates their stupidity and fear.; they know their cult leader is faling and flaling, and they need to work harder to prop him back up on the pedestal they built for him in the first place.

Poor Alex; poor Colby, poor Dan…..what a zoo.

No liberals are ridiculing her for something she didn’t say. Take a good look back at the comments on this thread. Typical of them.

Michele Bachmann Cites Hometown Hero John Wayne (While Actually In The Hometown Of John Wayne Gacy)

Mediaite, come on….your heading is false….some say a lie.

John Wayne Gacy was born in Chicago, he worked in Waterloo for a while) This makes his Hometown, Chicago.

Ok Alex….you need to do a Chris Wallace and say you screwed the headline up.

Well if the people of Winterset are upset that she said he was from Waterloo and it upsets them they would have a right to be upset but thats not the argument is it. Still not a mistake that would have me thinking less of Bachmann.

It makes me want to know more about her. I live way down here in Arizona and never paid enough attention to her. I will remedy that as she seems to be a viable candidate now. She has tied Romney now in a few polls and I believe Romney should not be our candidate or President.

She messed up – big deal. The only thing it shows is she needs to tighten up her staff a lot. She took this from some staff member googling the place without understanding the info.

Again this is no big deal this early on.

It’s a John Wayne quote, nitwit

So I guess Alex and all her lefty buddies will now have to admit that Indonesia is Obama’s home town.

Honestly, the media is making bigger fools of themselves day in and day out.

“home town” in this case is a bigger strech by Alex and her lefty pals than by bachmann. John Wayne was born in the same state she was born in, but Alex and her lefty pals are claiming something that isn’t even true and trying to make hay out of it.

oh so typical; they don’t care about 57 states or “corpse men” or MOH recipients, but hell, they care about Gacy.

Go figure.

Fools, one and all of them.

Jaurez said:

suuuuure, troll.

well Nacho – if waterloo is Gacy’s “home town” because he lived there for three years….at least Alex claims it as his “home town” than…..Alex will have to claim that Indonesia is Obama’s home town…that is unless of course Alex has multiple standards – some of republicans and none for democrats,. as is the way of most of the left.

Furthermore perhaps Alex should update her story with some additional factual information, as in (h/t hotair):

Bachmann’s campaign pointed out to ABC News today that actor John Wayne’s parents did live in Waterloo, although the actor himself did not.

And a little internet research proves that point correct.

According to the book “Duke: We’re Glad We Knew You” by Herb Fagen, Clyde and Molly Morrison – actor John Wayne’s parents – lived in Waterloo early in their marriage – but they moved to Winterset before the birth of son Marion Mitchell Morrison (he changed his name to John Wayne professionally).

But those are facts, something mediaite is pretty slow to report on (see the non-storries about MOH recipients, “under God’ editied out of pledge by NBC, and many other spiked stories that had factual basis that Alex and her pals ignored).

Jaurez said:

We’re all actually just terrified by your lack of judgment. I haven’t heard an intelligent word come out of the woman’s mouth… but the funny thing with your side is.. she doesn’t have to say anything smart, she could make up fake stuff and if she said it and believed it enough, you’d all agree. Your side is the saddest site of politics these days.. a bunch of sheep following arount corporate interests trying to find the candidate with “freedom” and “value” just bullshit 1984ish propaganda, same with the tea party and it’s name. You guys embarrass America.. all of the tea party does.

The left loons are feeling good today. Bachmann left them some roadkill to wipe out the Weiner they still have in their mouths.

Jaurez said:

I forget, is the state that Gacy is from, the 56th or 57th state to join the union?

Cecelia said:
Well, it’s not like she went to a Medal Honor ceremony and characterized the recipient as being alive when he is dead.

I can see why this got so many upvotes… because… it makes Michelle Bachmann look less stupid… but really, she’s just as stupid as earlier.

Move along.

He described himself as very liberal and a bisexual.

But his three years in Waterloo, from 1965-1968, hardly qualifies him as a Waterloo native.

No but being born there does. One of those quirks you know. My husband never lived in the town he was born in but he will always be considered to be from Texas even if he doesn’t identify with it himself. But then you knew that.

Jeffrey Dahmer, Jeff Davis, Thomas Jefferson…what’s the difference?

The liberal journalists can’t help themselves in their anti-Bachmann feeding frenzy. But all they will achieve is to smear her enough so that Romney gets the nomination. And then their man Obama has to match up against a serious Republican with deep pockets and gravitas. By ignoring real issues and focusing on gotcha, the left will actually make the 2012 election a repeat of the Democrat debacle in 2010.

What the American Left OUGHT to do is engage on the economy and other significant issues — in fact that is their ONLY chance of helping Obama win next year’s election. They need to hold him accountable and get him to face up to the big issues that will decide the 2012 election. Instead the cover for him, and drift off into unreality. They are in such deep DENIAL that they think that they can make the public forget about the actual situations everybody experiences every day. And so this silly games-playing with Ms. Bachmann (symptomatic of a lack of seriousness that is pervasive in the liberal media) will just lead to further marginalization and trivialization of the American Left.

Did she or did she not say, “Just like John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa, that’s the kind of spirit that I have, too”?

Because it is those precise words at which I am laughing. Juxtaposed with the knowledge that the only John Wayne to live in Waterloo, Iowa was John Wayne Gacy, those words are riotously funny.

We just need to find a conservative historian who can confirm that Gacy also made cowboy movies, won an Oscar, and represents everything noble and true about the American spirit.

He doesn’t consider any town his hometown as they never lived in one place for long but that doesn’t make your argument for you. If anything it makes the point that probably neither John Wayne nor John Wayne Gacy considered these towns there home towns so you are all wrong including Bachmann. But since the state takes pride that John Wayne was from there and Bachmann clearly meant John Wayne she only made a mistake between Winterhaven and Waterloo. Not a big deal in my book. But go on, make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Bachmann doubled down and tried to justify her screw up by saying that the actor John Wayne’s parents lived in Waterloo, of course, they move before little John was ever born, but hey, stick with a screw up right? Never admit a mistake.

That was big goof it wasn’t like the towns were close together. Confusing a great actor to a serial killer is another big mistake.

Jesus christ, this story is ridiculous. I thought, given all the headlines, that she had actually said John Wayne Gacy instead of John Wayne or something. But no. She just made the very trivial mistake of mixing up one small Iowa town with another. HORROR! What an idiot! Everyone knows John Wayne is from small town Iowa X, not Z! Yo, Jon Stewart, I give you exhibit A of media bias.

This doesn’t come close the jaw-dropping stupidity of, oh, thinking ‘Austrian’ is a language or not knowing how many states there are(and getting it wrong repeatedly)or mistaking a living soldier for a dead one. Now those are true examples of jaw-dropping stupidity but the media didn’t devote a vat of ink(or any) to publishing those truly embarrassing screw ups made by well-known genius Obama. But, have gone ape shit of this bit of nothing.

Bachmann insists that she is not a flake. “I am a serious person”.

Translation: “I regret if any of my previously irrational, but completely candid remarks have damaged my image and credibility. I promise to try harder to stay on script in order to create the illusion that I’m not batsh*t crazy.”

Methinks Michele has a bit more work to do …

Yes it would be but the facts don’t show she did that. While Gacy lived for a few years and committed his crimes in Waterloo John Wayne’s parents lived in Waterloo shortly before he was born and he was born in Winterhaven. Gacy’s hometown was in Chicago where he returned when he got out of prison. It is only an interesting coincident that she made the mistake between the two cities and Gacy lived there for a while. She clearly meant John Wayne and it clearly isn’t that much of a mistake.

I came for a quick laugh and found 9 pages of progressives making mountains out of molehills, which itself was mostly the creation of an agenda driven media. There’s nothing of substance here but some vagary of speech made to seem more weighty than it is. Did Rachael Maddow suddenly become story editor here?

I know his parents were from Waterloo but, I believe little Marion had to move from Winterset to California long before he was able to join the corpse in Iowa.

We went to check out the bridges in Madison County and stopped to visit his tiny boyhood home and nope, no Marine Corpse uniforms on display there.

Oh, Della Street and Susan St. James were from my home town, if I ever run for president I will have to make sure I get that right. Wouldn’t want a bunch of libbies having to take to their keyboards looking like they just popped and alka selzer in their mouths. Ewww, that visual is quite disturbing and that’s exactly what’s “out there” after Michele Bachmann.

What is this going through mountains and over bridges? The distance between the two cities? I don’t live in the area but since John Waynes parents were from Waterloo I am convinced it was a simple mistake. Has little to do with the distance between the cities. Cacys hometown was Chicago not Waterloo but John Waynes parents were from Waterloo. Very simple to understand for most.

It was just a metaphor. But she just happen to get the two John Waynes mixed up? Even Hannity thought she goofed. He wasn’t from Chicago, but Waterloo. I know her people are trying change it in Wikipedia right now.

google Biography for John Wayne Gacy and you get multiple sites that verify he was born and raised in Chicago Illinois and died in Joliet, Illinois. He lived in Waterloo but it was not his hometown. You can also find this information on film. The Palin family must be something if they can get online and doctor all of those sites. I just pulled up 5 of them, one after another. Better put the crack pipe away Yoda.

It’s a pretty easy mistake.. they both can be confused as the other.. similarities..they are both white guys, both impressed young boys, both acted like clowns at times and both have been believed to be gay or bi sexual. neither served in the service although met and influenced political leaders and both are dead. I can’t remember each wayne’s political backing so I will end there, what’s the big deal here?

So….bowing Brian of the National barak Channel actually reported this, but NEVER reported Obama’s horrendous gaffe regarding the MOH recipient.

You can’t make this sh!t up; NBC has really gone over the line and make themselves more and more irrelevant daily.

I think more people watch the bower than Daianne/George or Scott becasue he makes them laugh with his open and straight up Obama lovin suck-upery.

Bowing Brian actually reported this but not the MOH incident – you just can’t make it up.

Who will get slaughtered by the right for “Obomneycare”. Too funny!

Where exactly on the Stupid-O-Meter does Bachman’s slipup over the birthtowns of JW and JWG rank when you consider that Obama thought there were 57 states in the Union and that “corpsman” was pronounced “corpse man?” Congresswoman Bachman’s comment barely jostles the needle!

Didn’t Obimbo recently make a remark about awarding the Medal of Honor to someone posthumously, but he couldn’t remember if it was posthumously or not! Ya, just how pathetic is that! No TelePrompter, no memory!!

Actually, I think she meant Gacey.
