Bachmann wishes Elvis happy birthday on death date

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann

got her Elvis Presley dates all shook up during a campaign stop in South

Carolina.

The congresswoman from Minnesota played the Elvis tune "Promised Land" on

Tuesday at a restaurant in Spartanburg, and told the crowd of 300 that she

wanted to say happy birthday to the King of Rock and Roll.

But Aug. 16 is the anniversary of Elvis' death, in 1977, and someone in the

crowd shouted back, "He died today!"

Bachmann didn't respond and launched into her speech.

Bachmann has stumbled over cultural references before. In June, she kicked off

her presidential campaign in Waterloo, Iowa, calling it the home of American

actor John Wayne. The town was actually home for a time to serial killer John

Wayne Gacy.

Fairmount fires first:

she is not a serious candidate and will not survive the primaries.  She does not speak to a wide-enough breath of republicans (even if they love what she says she is too extreme to be electable).  Besides, she cannot fundraise like the front-runners can.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edgerton with a whitty wise crack:

Perhaps she can fundraise UNLIKE the others can… and I am talking the single bill variety...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hampshire having it his way:

Well, if that kind of fundraising is the case, then I think the media should take a great look at the views of the people in America and find out are they pro-Makin’ it Rain, or anti-Makin’ it Rain.  I think people would love to see Bachmann expose like that.

Fairmount for the kill:

do not underestimate Romney's ability to shake his money-maker
