Well, she's visiting Rock Hill, SC next week, so she will actually reach the zenith of stupidity then.
Possibly the best moniker ever btw.

There was a court case about two years ago, maybe more, in which a US District Court judge not only made that exact ruling as a matter of law, but completely undressed intelligent design in the process. It was a really fun opinion to read. I don't think I have ever read that it went up on appeal so I assume the ID people accepted their whoopin' at least in that circuit.
You are a sexist.
We're getting closer:
"When Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) officially kicked off her presidential campaign in her birthplace, Waterloo, Iowa, on Monday, saying she had the same “kind of spirit” as fellow Waterloo-ian John Wayne, except the actor was not born there — serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. was — some political bloggers called it a “minor gaffe.”"

I saw that Ailes made Chris Wallace apologize for telling Bachman some people think she's a flake and asking her if she was one. Didn't sufficiently toe the company line.
It happens a lot with Republican campaigns, particularly those that don't use country music as a backdrop.
I don't know why artists get so wound up about such things. I mean, fuck off, it's not like people think Tom Petty is endorsing her. You aren't that important, Tom Petty. I suspect she could ignore the letter and pay ASCAP or somebody 5 cents every time she uses the song.
These candidates should just get permission from whomever they need permission from before using these recordings. This happens every time a conservative uses a rock song -- you'd think they'd know the drill by now. I guarantee there are a ton of Bachman supporters out there who now think Petty's endorsed her. If I were Petty, I would want to put a stop to that immediately.
