"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly -- men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country."

 

-Rep. Michele Bachmann, botching American history while speaking at an Iowan's for Tax Relief event in January 2011. The Founding Fathers did not work to end slavery, and John Quincy Adams was not one of the Founding Fathers.

Sometimes I think their speech writers may already have another job lined up and simply decide to have a fun little parting shot at their current political boob employer. Then again, perhaps sometimes the opposition could pay a writer to make their politician look as stupid as possible. Obviously some require less work in order to look stupid.
