Add the Telegraph to the list of media organizations snapping unnecessarily bad (inappropriate?) pictures of Michele Bachmann.
Michele Bachmann, Iowa born and the favorite to win the Straw Poll, arrived half an hour late for her slot and then spoke for just over two minutes, saying that Iowans were "going to send the signal" to the rest of America just as they had in 2008. "This is where Barack Obama got his start. This is where he's going to come to his end, in Iowa."

You just know some photographer or editor picked that particular picture out of many better ones.
If I were running for president you would see all kinds of unflattering pics because I just don’t care.
The Newsweak cover helped her rather than hurt her. This will have the same result.
I’m not sure what point they are trying to prove with this picture, but I don’t see it being damaging in any way.
All’s fair. I’ve seen pictures mocking Kerry eating a swiss cheesesteak. Pay for the ticket, take the ride.
Hey, can anyone photoshop Debbie Whatshername Schultz into that picture?
Yah, that’s a two fister.
A stupid thread and more stupid are the folks that eat a corn dog with a knife and fork.
That is why it is on a damn stick for Pete’s sake.
The only offensive thing about this is the unconscionable lack of mustard.
No, everyone else at that fair ate the corndog just like Bachmann. Only perverts and nasty punks make a deal out of a person eating a corndog.
There’s one of Governor Perry, too.
No politican should try to eat hot dogs in public.
Idiots for trying!
Great post. And I agree.
Use a knife and fork.
These two took some flak for eating pizza with a knife and fork. No matter what you do, someone will find something to bitch about.
What? No mustard? Put some mustard on those things, Michele!
Moochelle is a lot worse than Bachmann could ever be. I’d do just like Bachmann is doing. That is exactly how you eat corn dogs......
I can't help but think of Seinfeld - where Mr. Pitt eats his Snickers with a fork and knife!
Add this photo to the "Happy Deathday Elvis" comment, and I think she is showing that she is not ready for prime time.
We used to call a move like that “training” in the NAV.
Yes, people do consume corn dogs in the same manner... but they’re not targets of an army of apertures de wazoo (the media) looking for ANYTHING they can use to destroy you as MB is. If you’re running for president, you should know not to give an opportunity to be portrayed in the light she’s being portrayed in - it should have been common sense. Obviously, it wasn’t...and I hope this was a lesson learned.
