She needs to avoid extemporaneous speech on any historical material she is not sure of. If a staffer gave her that, fire him.
This could kill her campaign.
Obama has made plenty of stupid mistakes and gotten a pass.
Bachmann will not get a pass.
And the very nature of this stupidity gives fodder for lots of late night comedy.
I am really laughing at some of the headlines I am seeing on this as I surf the internet.
I'd suggest background checks on staffers for all GOP candidates by their candidates.
In 2008, Rolling Stone magazine sent a Democrat reporter to join (allegedly as a supporter) the McCain Florida volunteer effort.
And a number of early McCain 2008 staffers (some of whom dated back to 2006) were Democrats who apparently were only intent on seeing McCain get the GOP nomination, not the presidency. Some McCain 2008 staffers even went over to the Obama 2008 campaign after McCain secured the GOP nomination.
Log Cabin Republicans have been outed as only serving to further the gay rights agenda within both parties, they are officially CINO these days.
Trust in your staff but don't be an idiot and think they actually want to see you win just because they apply for a job in your office.
