As Willytex knows, the quote above did not refer to her gaffe (in fact, I said of it, "But that's relatively trivial"). What the quote referred to was an article about her appalling record of nontrivial falsehoods. Money quote: "Examining 24 of her statements, Politifact.com, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking service of the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, found just one to be fully true and 17 to be false (seven of them "pants on fire" false). No other Republican candidate whose statements have been vigorously vetted matched that record of inaccuracy." http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110628/ap_on_el_ge/us_bachmann_fact_check http://tinyurl.com/3qd24kt It's hard to tell whether Bachmann is just exceedingly poorly informed, or a chronic liar.
