John Wayne was born in Iowa, she was just got the wrong town. If there was not also a Gacy from Waterloo (and we know that is not who she had in mind), then this would of been a very minor gaff that would have gone unitized.

This is totally a media manufactured gaff.

This is totally a media manufactured gaffe.

As if there were any other kind . . .

If "57 states" - spoken by a US senator who operated (briefly, I admit) in a body of 100, two from each state - isn't a gaffe, there is no objective definition of the term.
