"I'm happy to say I don't think that I've said anything inaccurate in any of the debates. . . . It's a high-profile stage and so I'm grateful that I don't think I've made a blunder."When you stop laughing, consider this for Joke of the Year: Michele Bachmann ever being taken seriously as a presidential candidate.

PS: On the same day that Bachmann made that statement about saying nothing inaccurate in the debates, she lobbed another huge gaffe. Responding to news about the Iranian attack on the British embassy in Tehran, she said if she were president she would close down the U. S. embassy there.
ReplyDeleteFact: The U. S. has not had an embassy in Iran for over 30 years.
Now her campaign is saying that she knew full well that we have no embassy in Iran. She was speaking hypothetically about the British closing their institute and says she said: If I were president [and if we had an embassy] that's exactly what I would do, close it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, maybe not. I don't have the transcript of her original comments. But this is typical: she does speak very loosely and she does often make jaw-dropping gaffes. And her campaign has become expert at spinning to explain what she meant.
