Michele Bachmann "graces" the cover of Newsweek.

Oh..My...God!

What did they warn Perseus about when it came to that Gorgon named Medusa again?

"Whatever you do, don't look into her eyes!"

    Ha ha - once again she doesn't make eye contact with a camera - reminds me hilariously of her tea party rebuttal to the State of the Union.

  2. I'd comment on the 'batshit-crazy' look in her eyes, but I don't want to insult other 'batshit-crazy' people.

    The only thing funnier than this cover would have to include Bachmann's closeted husband, "Tinkerbell."

    Let's make this sick Harpy a 'one-term Newsweek cover!'

    Is this for real? No seriously, is this a Newsweek cover from The Onion? If this is a real cover shouldn't they have used photoshop to cover up the crazy eyes?

    This photo should have never been used for the cover of a "serious" publication. Yes, Bachmann has no business running anything more complicated than a toll booth, but her obvious unsuitability for higher office could have been made clear without the cheap trick of using a crappy picture.

    Before liberals start applauding this, remember the puff piece they did on Palin. Why was there no unflattering cover photo of Palin to show the dark dysfunction in HER soul? (Even though a photo showing the REAL Sarah Palin would have made the magazine too repulsive to even pick up). They wanted to interview Palin so badly, they threw journalistic ethics and integrity out of the window.

    It doesn't take an unprofessional cover to expose nutcases like Palin and Bachmann. A simple well-researched, objective article would suffice. Of course that would mean actually doing their jobs and not just trying to sell copies.

    Getting off my soapbox now...

    I guess Newsweek has decided who they are behind in the 2012 GOP race. Palin got a sexy photo shoot on her dock. Bachmann just gets a crazy cover photo. They are both as equally abhorrent to me, with their christian-ness and far right behaviour, but according to that cover photo, Newsweek likes Palin "bestest", not that it matters because only like 20 people read Newsweek, so thanks for sharing, otherwise many of us would not have seen the photo :-)

    God Withdraws His Endorsement for Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry

    Republicans are coming out of the woodwork claiming God has a calling for them – run for office. Yes, God wants them to become President of the U.S. First let’s just run through the list of those who God is supporting: Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty, Herman Cain and now Rick Perry.

    There is some especially good news for Santorum (who really needs it), Pawlenty and Cain. God is withdrawing support from Bachmann and Perry.

    At a chance meeting at the airport, Michele Bachnann ran into Gov. Rick Perry, who both have God’s endorsement. After this meeting, He withdrew his endorsement.

    Here's what I want to know about Michelle Bachmann's allegiance to her husband's authority: If elected President, will she still take "commands" from him?

    She relates herself on camera how her husband commanded her to become a tax lawyer. And she admits she hated taxes. Sounds like $Palin, hating her job as governor..

    go to 1:25 in this video

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0rUBomKvY0&feature=related

    That is an undisputable fact. The reason she "obeyed " this command is because she believes literally in what the ancient bible says about wives obeying husbands.

    So Michelle, what if you get elected President, and Marcus Bachmann says during pillow talk "Hun, why don't you just attack Iran. God has told me you should do it, so I command you to send the B2 bombers over there, and deploy some marines. And when you're done with that, I command you to stand on your head, and bark like a dog"

    And they call this religion? This is what "faith" is all about?
