Of course we know most politicians would never 'shoot from the hip', repeating something they were told without diligently researching for veracity (let alone embellish the truth) so we can say with confidence that Michelle Bachmann does not meet our high high standards for congressional representatives.

Never mind her being one of the staunchest constitutional literalists in congress.
