John Wayne � John Wayne Gacy Gaffe Starts Michele Bachmann Campaign

John Wayne, the iconic western actor who starred in over 100 movies, was the subject of a comical gaffe by presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann on Monday (27th June 2011). The Tea Party favourite who became the latest Republican to launch a bid for the White House mixed up John Wayne with John Wayne Gacy during an interview with Fox News. Just moments after confirming her presidential bid, the Minnesota congresswoman said, "Well, what I want them to know is just like John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa, that's the kind of spirit I have too".
