Since she first arrived on the national stage, Minnesota Republican congresswoman Michele Bachmann has been prone to controversy. Her outspoken views on the Iraq War, on same-sex marriage, climate change and health care (among other hot-button issues) received a great deal of press and attention, as did her early and vocal affiliation with the Tea Party Movement.

But beyond the sometimes radical element of Bachmann's rhetoric, she's also received a lot of attention for the frequent gaffes, mistakes and outright falsehoods in her stump speeches and interviews. Most Republicans have called for cuts to government programs like the community service-oriented AmeriCorps. But it takes a special politician to come out and call it a "re-education camp." And it takes an even more special politician to gloss over the fact that her own son was working with Teach for America, which is part of the AmeriCorps program. (Perhaps he was looking to get re-educated after growing up with Michele Bachmann?)

What follows is a list of Bachmann's most silly, bizarre, over-the-top or just befuddling misstatements, errors, gaffes and flubs. Am I missing any? Leave them in the comments below.
