Bachmann's Newsweek Cover

Some people take good photos, other's don't.

George W. took a lot of bad photos. Obama doesn't.

Try to find a flattering photo of Mitch McConnell.

But folks still say it's a media conspiracy.

 

Sure seems like a long way from this day.

 

Interesting that you can type her name into Google images and every single one that comes up on the first few pages is a decent picture of her, but the one that Newsweek puts on its cover is one where she looks terrible.

Yes, she's cross-eyed, but that's not obvious in every photo she takes.

Every politician has unflattering photos out there. But most don't have those photos splashed across the cover of a national magazine.

 

Hell, even the fake "DESPERATION" poster that they made for her has a better picture of her...

 

I think the worst part of it is that the photo doesn't seem to illustrate "Queen of Rage." Not sure how it's sexist though.

 

Sarah Palin's photos are generally good. Of course, she's not afraid to show some skin.

 

There is no reason to use that photo of Bachmann unless you are trying to make her look bad.

Hatred for her aside, that's just wrong.

As far as the Palin cover shots go, I'm more sympathetic to that because it was done to sell copies of the magazine. This was done to make someone look bad.

 

Not as bad as the one Time or Newsweek did of Ashcroft in 2001 that made look like a dark menace

 

I missed those. I remember Time darkening the OJ cover in 1994. That was pretty bad.

 

Boogity boogity!

Thing is...by the end of the Bush Administration, liberals probably would've preferred Ashcroft over what came later.

 

Staredown, Sixth District style!

 

There should be plenty of photos of her in a rage.
