Michele Bachmann has been playing up her Iowa roots as she campaigns for the presidency, but today she made a small gaffe involving Iowa history and geography. “Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa.

John Wayne, the movie star, was born in Winterset, Iowa. John Wayne Gacy, the notorious serial killer, lived and murdered people in Waterloo (he was born in Chicago).
