“..Michelle Bachman recanted a story..”
Hope this was intended to read that she “recounted a story”.
Not trying to be the spelling police, but it is a critical difference.
You are correct, recounted is the correct word, auto-spell check can sometimes be my enemy....
My wife and I have hardly slept since we got word from Justin’s parents right after they were notified a week ago Monday, blame it on sloppy typing, lack of sleep or auto-spell....
But really, the one comment you make regarding this post is to make grammatical corrections? Sigh.....
