Bachmann Newsweek Cover Goes for Insult But Gets Criticism in Return

All that cover proves to me is that Bachmann looks better on her WORST DAY than Hillary looks on her BEST DAY.

[Jack Hydrazine]

I thought Newsweak was gone. I think I’ll put it in my 2011 Deadpool.

[paudio]

Isn’t Newsweek the only outlet that shut down its electronic version and only keeps its printed edition?

[rlbedfor]

In other news, tree falls in forest. Really? Who cares. About as newsworthy as some idiotic DU post.

[paul51]

Bachmann is right not to stoop to NWeek’s level to engage them. Why make them relevant? As far as the King of Rage, wouldn't that be Howard Dean?

[rlbedfor]

Bachmann should reply “Newsweek, whatever, what a waste of good source of toilet paper.”

[Jim Scott]

That Newsweek magazine published an unflattering cover photo of conservative Republican presidential aspirant Michele Bachmann and dubbed her 'The Queen of Rage' is hardly shocking. That rag has always hated conservatives. What is newsworthy is that NOW actually criticized Newsweek for the photo and the ridiculous label they tried to pin on Michele Bachmann. To her credit, Terry O'Neill, Presidet of the National Organization for Women, made it crystal clear that she strongly opposed Michele Bachmann on every issue but she also castigated Newsweek for it's blatant sexism in portraying Bachmann as a 'nut'. Surprising - but welcome. Perhaps NOW is attempting to redeem itself and convince women that it has some possible relation to their lives or else, they know Newsweek is circling the drain and figured it's a 'soft target' for feminist criticism. Either way, it's about time.

“I remember there used to be a magazine called Newsweek.”

Yeah, sold for a buck this past year, didn’t it?

[Prokopton]

Don’t see what the big fuss is about. Bachmann has that wild eye look on her face all the time.

Your seeing everything through Palin distorted glasses makes it impossible for you to see reality. Much like the vision of liberals.

[onedoug]

Let me try those specs.

[crosshairs]

Newsweek is like CNN. It’s only available at airports.

[Prokopton]

Let me try those specs.

Just close your eyes, the vision is about the same.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I thought they went bankrupt. Too bad.

[cookcounty]

I’d love to see a photoshop contest featuring Tina Brown, the Newsweek Editor-in-Chief.

I remember there used to be a magazine called Newsweek.

Chuckles!

Yep - I used to subscribe to it myself. But that was a long time ago...

[TwelveOfTwenty]

This wasn’t Newsweek’s intention, but I have a feeling the press Bachmann is getting from this is going to help her rather than harm her.

Bachmann has that wild eye look on her face all the time.

Thanks, thought I was the only one that thought that.

[usconservative]

BTW don't get the observation that she get's that "wild eyed look" going every once in awhile as a put-down or criticism. She is what she is (human.)

Personally, I like her, she's my choice thus far but she does get "bug eyed" or "wild eyed" once in awhile. Next time she's on Hannity's show watch out when she goes on a rant, that's when it happens the most.

[Chaguito]

Wrong Chris, I suspect.

[ScreamingFist]

Well, I have to admit, she does have “intense eyes”. I apologize RED.
