Jon Stewart blasts 'Newsweek' for Michele Bachmann cover
by Lanford Beard

Oh, snap(shot)! Last night, Jon Stewart took Newsweek and its editor Tina Brown to task for the magazine’s… well, how should we put it?… uncomely photo of Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann (headline: “Queen of Rage”). After a package of clips of conservatives railing on the liberal news media’s built-in bias, Stewart pointed out just that via the Newsweek cover. “There is one thing that you can’t say about Michele Bachmann: That’s she’s not photogenic.” See Stewart describe Bachmann’s wide-eyed expression as looking like “the exact moment she sees the Amazing Robalto turn his hat into a dove” in the full clip after the jump.

For as batshit loony as she is, I agree, they could have put a more flattering picture of her on the cover....

She looks crazy in ALL of her pictures though. Trying to find a "sane" picture of Bachmann is like trying to find a picture of Chimpy where he doesn't look like a fucking idiot.

She may be nuts, but this is so obvious it's embarrassing to the publication. They are now on par with the enquirer. Well done.
