Michelle Bachmann Says She Has ‘Serial Killer Spirit’

I’ve heard candidates say they have ‘fighting spirit’, are ‘made out of red meat’, and are even ‘children of God’, but never, never has a presidential candidate compared their inner spirit with that of a serial killer.

Michelle Bachman: “Well, what I want them to know is just like John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too.”

John Wayne with Waterloo roots is John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer who was executed in 1994 after being convicted of 33 murders.

Perhaps, oh just perhaps, Bachmann meant the iconic cowboy John Wayne, the movie star, who was born in Winterset, Iowa (with zero connection to Waterloo).

But if we are to take the TEA Party favorite at her word, then I agree, she and John Wayne Gracy both deserve the title of “Killer Clown”.
