Commenting on her latest faux pas heard

'round the world, The Politico observes:

for "the third time in recent months ...

 the potential GOP presidential hopeful

has committed a puzzling gaffe about

history and current affairs." The

dictionary defines 'puzzling' as 'not

clear to the mind', 'causing con-

fusion or perplexity'.  That The

Politico finds Ms. Bachmann's

gaffes 'puzzling' is even more

puzzling, is it not?
