Michele Bachmann on Newsweek cover w/ “crazy eyes”

Right Wingnut pundit Michele Malkin takes umbrage with the new cover of Newsweek because it shows Michele Bachmann with "crazy eye." In other words, looking like herself.

Randi is talking about this now. Maybe mods can move it to "heard on the show?"

Maybe a combination of that and too much apocalyptic Christianity?

We weren't allowed to scare people with religion in my house growing up, so I don't know. But I know opiates give you freaky pin-point, starry-eyed pupils...

Randi's tweet:

"Baggers up in arms because Newsweek took a pic of Bachmann that looks like half of the other pics of Bachmann - http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/08/07/newsweek-puts-picture-michele-bachmann-cover-makes-her-look-crazy#.TkBLDFl-Ibg.twitter "

The comments section is incredible. RWNJ's whining that Newsweek printed an accurate picture of a madwoman. lol

So it is the photogs fault she naturally looks like an alien with a wig?

Bachman is actually an attractive woman, but she OWNS her eyes; no one can blame Newsweek or a photographer that those eyes look crazy.

The straight-ahead shot of Michele Bachmann on the cover of this week's Newsweek, taken by freelance photographer Chris Buck in a Washington, D.C., hotel room, “raises eyebrows,” according to The Huffington Post. “There’s no denying that Bachmann firmly believes what she believes. Some might think she’s crazy because of it. Cover photos like this one help to cement that image,” wrote The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart. “It’s sexist,” NOW president Terry O’Neill told The Daily Caller. “Casting her in that expression and then adding ‘The Queen of Rage’ I think [it is]. Gloria Steinem has a very simple test: If this were done to a man or would it ever be done to a man—has it ever been done to a man? Surely this has never been done to a man.” (Steinem was actually featured in the same issue of Newsweek). Said Newsweek editor in chief Tina Brown in a statement, “Michele Bachmann’s intensity is galvanizing voters in Iowa right now and Newsweek’s cover captures that." Many of the photographs taken for the feature showed Bachmann with similar intensity. Here are more images from the shoot, including some used inside the magazine, showing Bachmann in the nation’s capital and on the trail in Iowa.

"...similar intensity" :lol:

I don't know, Gloria, but this one is kind of crazy-looking.

Oh, sure, just like YOU PLodder to go for the JOKE, and completely miss the important NEWS in the story!

"After applying mustard and allowing Mr Bachmann to take the first bite, she chomped into it with gusto."

So let's see the Mr's "taking a bite" photo. Now THAT one would be precious. How do you think he went at it? From the side? The bottom first? Maybe he licked off all the mustard?

Just FYI, I've initiated a mod thread to discuss whether we should delete this post on the basis of it looking so much like the porn spam we delete every day. Or perhaps, more apt, "corn spam."

That photo is even more "unfortunate" then the one of the congressman taking a bare chested pic of himself for craigslist...this one is REALLY unfortunate and I am afraid, Michelle, it isn't going away anytime soon. :lol:
