Bachmann LATE to GOP event after visiting IMAGINARY family members at UNDISCLOSED locations!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

So, there was apparently a minor kerfuffle in Iowa when Michele Bachmann claimed that an appearance at a family reunion caused her to be late to a GOP event in Waterloo, Iowa, at which Rick Perry and Rick Santorum were also present. Then it came to light that she never attended that family reunion. Now her campaign is saying, "Oh, you meant that family reunion! No, no, we were talking about an entirely different one!" To wit:

“She was visiting with family. Her husband and daughters went to one reunion and she met with family members at a different location," (campaign spokewoman Alice) Stewart told POLITICO's Molly Ball. "There was a family member that was a shut-in and other family members she met with privately elsewhere. I’m not going to tell you details of who and where she met. She was meeting with family members at a different location. There was more than one family reunion that weekend, more than one family reunion that day. Her husband and kids went to one and she met with family members elsewhere."

Okay, well, this wouldn't really matter, except that I read today that Bachmann has "pattern of saying things she can't back up and wiggling through the ensuing questions without ever acknowledging the falsehood or explaining how she came to say it in the first place." (Politico, Salon)

3. She will eventually crack under pressure. A Tea Partyist

cannot handle that much exposure unless they have the equivalent intelligence of Sarah Palin.

9. She was late. She lied about it. Sounds normal. Sure it's Bachman?

She's late, she says, because her grandma was sick.

She was late for whatever reason that she doesn't want us to know. And for once we're on the same page. I don't want to know. What could she say that would be worth knowing?
