A question was asked and then answered appropriately, although slightly disjointed.
The answer was then turned incorrectly into a "gotcha".

It was Palin() herself who described it as a "gotcha question". And, there is no such thing as a "gotcha amswer".
Wouldn't it be fair to say Bachmann was as right about John Wayne as Palin was about Paul Revere?
Wayne's parents lived in Waterloo shortly before he was born. Revere warned the British but not with bells.
