re: #114 Killgore Trout

Fox news gets a creativity credit for their headline on today’s Bachmann gaffe: Bachmann Bungles ‘John Wayne’ While Stumping in One of Obama’s 57 States

Well, Brit Hume also used that on tonight’s O’Reilly Factor (Juan Williams was hosting). Hume was very sober in how he explained it, perhaps seeking to avoid the river of flame received by Chris Wallace, but he made the point that it was the kind of gaffe “that ordinary people make”, but that would tell against Bachmann. Fox played this story right, a rarity for them.
