Wouldn't it be fair to say Bachmann was as right about John Wayne as Palin was about Paul Revere?
Wayne's parents lived in Waterloo shortly before he was born. Revere warned the British but not with bells.
It's fair to say that there is no evidence to suggest that Bachmann was confusing the mass murderer with the actor.
About Bachmann's comment, ” I want them to know just like John Wayne is from Waterloo Iowa, that's the spirit I have too," it looks to me that she came up several months short.
Not that big of a deal.
