STFU Michele Bachmann

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.”

Two things:

1. What the hell is a, “kerfuffle”?
2. Michele, WHY MUST YOU BE SO FUCKING INCOMPETENT?!
