John Wayne by any other name...

I know I've been away for a while, spent the last few weeks trolling various cruise ships trying to come down with an e coli infection from the food in order to take down their demonic empires from the inside.  No such luck.  Only thing I did was gain thirty-seven pounds from shell fish buffets and develop a taste for the Reese's Pieces Martini.

But I came back just in time to catch this:


Now it may or may not be obvious from my postings here on this blog, but I love America.  And loving America means I love the greatest American that ever lived, Marion Morrison.  In a real life application of the "Boy Named Sue" style of parenting, Marion grew up and became known to the world as John Wayne.  Now I love John Wayne so much that I personally police his wikipedia entry 24/7... one of three things I don't farm out to day laborers I pick up outside the Parsippany, NJ Home Depot off RT 46.  I love John Wayne so much that I have this above my bed:

I love John Wayne so much - you know, taking a moment to look at that picture outside the context of my bedroom shrine, I can see why some of the women I bring home look at me funny or say "Okay, that's cool if you're into that."

Anyway, point being, I love John Wayne so much that I know for a fact that his hometown isn't Waterloo, IA, it's in fact Winterset, IA.  So I got to thinking, Michele Bachmann is a sharp, on-the-ball politician who isn't known for confusing her facts.  So just who was she trying to compare herself to?  The answer?  America's other famous JW... John Wayne Gacy.

Yes, the same John Wayne Gacy who was executed by lethal injection in 1994 for the rape and murder of 33 boys, some of whom he kept in a crawl space, the rest he dumped in a nearby river.  The same guy who had to wear this to work everyday:

That's who Michele Bachmann compared herself to.  And thanks to Fox News spreading the story, rather than correct Bachmann and make her look bad, they will now try to rewrite history and make the real John Wayne's birthplace Waterloo, IA.

That makes John Wayne's wiki the front lines for this rewrite.  Guess I'm in for a seventy-two-straight-hour wikipedia stake out to stop Fox Nation from trying to corrupt the real John Wayne's entry just to help out Bachmann.
