Who knew that Michele Bachmann was such a fluent speaker of the Spanish language? No one knew that, because she isn't. But she'll try anyway. Consider the new word she invented, just today: "Hombre-ette."

Via CBS News, here's Bachmann in Columbia, South Carolina today:

"We need one strong hombre or hombre-ette, and I'm the hombre-ette to go and stand for you in Washington DC," Bachmann said. Earlier, when Bachmann referenced that she would be a woman in the White House if elected, a cheer went up from the audience.

The bill for new word creation is in the mail, Spain.
