“In full disclosure, I did win a polka dancing competition when I was in the tenth grade at my alma mater, Anoka High School in Anoka, Minn. But, despite my tenth grade polka success and my lifelong love of ballroom dancing, the recent rumors are false. I will not be joining ‘Dancing with the Stars.'”
– Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., in a statement Wednesday responding to rumors that she was being courted for “Dancing with the Stars.” The Congresswoman, through her spokeswoman Becky Rogness, told the Associated Press that she hadn’t been invited to appear on the show.
