The media keeps getting Rep. Michele Bachmann’s home state wrong. Last week it was a Tennessee TV news Web site reporting that U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) represents New Mexico. Today at Human Events’ national, hip-conservative news site, political editor John Gizzi misplaces her — this time in a southeasterly direction, labeling Bachmann as a member of Florida’s congressional delegation.

Besides again laying Wall Street’s woes at the feet of the the Community Reinvestment Act, Bachmann tells Gizzi that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson couldn’t assure her that his bailout plan would avert (in her words) “economic Armageddon.”

But since that hasn’t come to pass quite yet, there’s still time to consider a question: What’s the hidden Bachmann-Florida connection behind this latest slip-up?

It could be Bachmann’s one-time status as Minnesota’s answer to former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, but Harris seems a less likely culprit since Bachmann became Minnesota’s answer to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

It could have something to do with the house in Florida that Bachmann’s patron-in-the-pulpit, Pastor Mac Hammond, bought with the take from the collection plates at his Living Word Christian Center.

Or it could be Bachmann’s eagerness to drill for oil off the Florida coast (YouTube). In another staged-managed video address, Bachmann gets so excited about drilling she makes her own slipup, claiming the country’s failure to “drill here, drill now” to her satisfaction is the fault of the ”American-controlled congress” — a gaffe that the video’s sponsors apparently didn’t notice or bother fixing.  (It’s at the 0:48 mark of this video.)
