What's Newsweek?

I thought that thing went out a long time ago. Huh.

Spanky-

What's Newsweek?

I thought that thing went out a long time ago. Huh

It appears the magazine is trying to revive its circulation with her picture on the cover

What qualities do you think this Jesus freak would bring to the presidency that would make US a better country?

Being the proud freak you are I bet you got whiplash switching trough the pages looking for something sexual to gawk at.

I guess you will be the first one she hypnotize. Baboons are always first and it is true; they eat their own shyt.

Is that why they call you Doo Doo mouth?????

Bev. last I heard Obama prayed to the same god as Bachmann, so not sure I get you point.

As to your other point.....

Hey, Bev. glad to have you back. :)

Baboons are always first and it is true; they eat their own shyt.

Thank you sooo much ITM for speaking from experience... lol

Tell us? Do you prefer mustard or mayo on your turd sandwiches?

You really do learn something every day @ FR!

I despise Bachmann and her entire political agenda.

I don't get the looking up bit in the picture.

Can someone explain it?

Everyone is saying it's a dis?

I just don't get the import of the photo...is she looking to God?

What's all the uproar?!

I think she looks like she just had a romantic evening with Marcus.

And I'm sure the drugs eventually wore off.

In a move that has shaken the world’s finance markets, the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s has downgraded the United States’ AAA credit rating for the first time. In its report, S&P explicitly blamed the political process in Washington and the refusal by Republicans to raise taxes. S&P writes, "We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act."

I despise Bachmann and her entire political agenda.

Same here Ira. I thought she was looking up at the camera lights, probably not the photo that should have been used?

Everyone takes bad photos, I haven't redone my Driver's license photo in years, I renew online. Just my thoughts, if Newsweek doesn't want to get a rap that they will publish gotcha shots they should have had the decency to clear the photo with her people. It seems as if they published one that her camp didn't prefer or authorize. Newsweek is not paid to make people look bad like the paparrzi.

FR, just a comment, doesn't post #1 above go against the code of conduct? The poster calls a candidate crazy, she ridicules someone's personal appearance and takes a jab at a candidate's foster children. Just wondering?

dzaffina,

Did you sleep through yesterday? Just wondering. We're talking about Michelle 'Crazy Eyes' Bachmann. Keep up man. LOL!

You expect this nonsense from the likes of Tina Brown, Newsweaks editor, and Miss Tina doesn't disappoint.

Recall that Newsweak was sold to Sidney Harman on August 2, 2010, for $1. Sid overpaid.

Ira:

I don't get the looking up bit in the picture.

I'm all about looking up, but she scares me. She's definitely not seeing the same thing I am.

@_@ If you know what I mean.

The good news is that I have earrings a little bit like hers, so I can replicate the look. ;)

JoAnna:

Miss Tina doesn't disappoint.

Most decidedly not. That photo is everything I could have hoped for and MORE.

takes a jab at a candidate's foster children.

No Mark, I was referring to the petting zoo she will have in her tent in Ames...

LMFAO, She does look Bat Sh8T Crazy. Some people should stay away from the camera.

Anna Molly..

Ήμουν τόσο προσβλέπει σε ένα φόρεμα νοσηλευτές με την σκουλαρίκια και φυσικά την πίτσα.

Her politics are definitely different from mine.

Still winning...

Ira that picture and her politics could be titled "The Lights Are on But Nobody is Home"

Ira: Still winning...

Ακριβώς τι ο γιατρός διέταξε

Below 20 now.

@ Forrest ~ Quick, turn those lights off. ;-)

The deer in the headlights look is all the rage in the Tea Party these days.

Tea Bag Zombies no new taxes... no new taxes... cut, cut, cut...must cut taxes for the wealthy...

To late those lights have been off for years!

Anna Molly.

Good thing you have a trigger just in case it looks like it's selling off. Just unreal. Down 122.

"The Michele Bachmann campaign tells NBC News that the candidate is not interested in getting into a conversation over the controversial Newsweek cover photo of its candidate."

Maybe so, but I'll bet Marcus is flaming behind the scene.

Maybe so, but I'll bet Marcus is flaming behind the scene.

On a different thread, I mentioned Newsweek missed a good bet here...

They should of included Marcus - he is SO much more photogenic! ;o)

Thanks for that Bill Mayer link earlier.

Funny!

Also, you may have noticed in that video clip, that Mrs. Bachmann said her campaign was about "Hope".

Thanks for that Bill Mayer link earlier.

You're welcome! ;o)

The snake for the kids promo was positively the BEST!

BTW: Nice job working Skanky over yesterday! I've had him on ignore for months now but, had to take a peek at the smack down you gave him!

His entire @!$%#ck is put down women & disabled veterans and then tell us a tale about what a successful lawyer he is...

When in actually is doubtful he's ever been outside of the mail-room!

It grows tiresome quickly!

: )

I recently bought a Conservative Blow Up doll, I decided on the Michelle Model with all the options. She was a lot of fun until she started farting from her mouth. I sure hope the warranty will be honored!

A picture says a thousand words... I admit, after reading AMs post about Marcus, I couldn't help but think how much that hemorrhoid hurt after the drugs wore off... but seriously, who was it that was looking to the side during her response to the State of the Union? At least this time she wasn't wearing skanky makeup.

Okay, maybe she should have gotten advice from Palin, who's earlier cover was a lot better (but we still think she's a 'Succubus')...as Newsweek struggles by pandering to the crazies... Bachmann probably shrugs it off knowing the circulation is minimal.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. We already know what yours is DBO... it's those comments from the peanut gallery that make this so much fun. You have no skin in the game, but yet you act like you do. Typical liberal attitude...

Liberals defending liberals defending things done wrong. Pure comedy!

Brianb-numbers,

You're one to play the 'peanut gallery' card. Typical bagger.

Throwing names out there Bryan? Did I say anything to you? How come DBO needs you to come to his rescue? Can't he handle himself? I didn't realize you were SUPERLIBERAL... defender of the boards, dynamic protectorate of those weaker than himself.

See how much comedy you guys provide?

I'm not rescuing DBO as much as i'm pointing out your hypocrisy. Call me an idiot again. Hypocrite.

Call you an idiot again? My pleasure - you are an idiot.

Only an idiot puts a person on ignore and then proceeds to read what they have to say anyway. The purpose of ignore, idiot, is to shut the other person out of your conversations.

My hypocracy has bounds...

And apparently your spelling has no bounds. I put you as well as others on ignore to make it easier to wade through the bull@!$%# on this board. I read your comments when i want to. Just because you have your reason for ignore, doesn't mean it's the same as mine. So who's the idiot now, mr. my opinion is the only one that matters.

@!$%#.

Never said my opinion matters to you... it does matter to me. A concept that I'm sure is way over your head. You don't like my opinions, by all means, don't read them again. If you enjoy a fight... then expect me to make comments. I have no reason to lay down to a liberal and I won't. Personally I don't give a sh!t what you think about my opinions. Apparently you are so typical liberal that anyone that disagrees with you doesn't have the right to express it without you diving in and making an @$$ out of yourself.

Let me remind you Bryan - I live in America. I am allowed to express myself. We have this little thing that, last I checked, was still in effect... it's called freedom of speech. You or any of your liberal friends will not, or can not stop me from expressing my opinion. If you enjoy being called an idiot, then keep asking for it. I have no trouble calling it like I see it. Feel free to express your opinion. I won't put those limitations on you... just be careful what you say... my comments will be forthcoming. You know, the old sticks and stones routine... keep acting like a child and you will be treated like one.

The human Brian is a complicated thing, above is an example of the left Brian verse the right Brian when reacting to certain shared stimulus.

Brianb,

Personally I don't give a sh!t what you think about my opinions.

Apparently you do, otherwise you wouldn't have to say it. Everything I've ever said to or about you has been in response to you lambasting someone else for having an opinion. Contradict yourself much?

Yes Forrest - I am a complicated engma... LOL. You know as well as others that I can be reasonable... I don't like being pushed into a corner... like any rat, I will fight back. If someone steps in and decides to lash out at me, I will exercise those rights I possess.

I didn't start this argument. Not with whom I'm arguing against. I commented on DBO's post, as he has done to me, several times in the past and Byren commented on my post. When Byren called me a typical bagger he set himself up. I'm not a member of the Tea Party, although I watch them carefully and agree with a lot they do. Tossing names at me, does not set well and if a person gives... they can receive. Alls fair in love and war....

Let's settle this Bryan... I'll admit I'm a hypocrite if you will admit you are an idiot. Deal?

As long as you agree to leave your posts at expressing your POLITICAL opinion and leave the name calling for the schoolyard, then sure. I'll freely admit that i'm an idiot (sometimes) and i bet my wife would agree with you/me. Doesn't hurt me.

And did we just "compromise" Brian? Weird right?

Yeah... it's a draw, and that's OK. This is kinda how Forrest Grump and I worked it out.. we agreed to listen to each other and believe it or not we both learned things. Been friendly ever since. We also agreed that we may not agree on everything and the conversations have been pretty good since.

Even though I didn't demonstrate it, I am against name calling and I usually refrain from it. I don't like the my side is right, no matter what approach because I hold the belief that both sides of the political spectrum are equally to blame.

And.... yes, I'll admit it... your opinion does matter, just like everyone who shares this board.

Let it B!

When the left Brian and the right Bryan work more closely new ideas may emerge as Brian power is magnified. Now I got to tell ya I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

By the way- how come Feisty got to be first?

Didn't you hear?

I work for MSNBC... lol

It's all the buzz on First Read...

Hi Feisty,

That's cool:-)

YOW!

Feisty having a job.

Now that's funny.

Could you just imagine her CV?

Proficient in making fun of others. Super good at text inspired comebacks LoL!

Uh, no, I suspect the old gal collects an entitlement or two. Tit sucker. Slurp, slurp.

Didn't you know the queen bee snaps her whip and all the other liberals cower in her presence. She commands them and her standing orders are... if a new story comes up, they are NOT allowed to post anything unless she's first. 40 lashes if they do.

How do you suppose your CV would read, Spanky? Based on what we have seen on this thread from you...

Oh Brian you're so dreamy and witty....

Actually it wasn't funny the first time you posted it, nor will it be funny the next 40 times you post it. Get some new material. You're boring the masses.

Bryan - if you are ignoring me, then why do you bother reading what I have to say? Are you into self torture? Didn't get enough S&M last night from your significant other? I'm just sayin... You don't like what I say... too bad. I guess it was nasty redwig that told you to put me on ignore... she's commanded it to others... and to me, being put on ignore by a liberal is a badge of honor, just like being collapsed is. It means you can't handle any opinion other than your own... sure says a lot about your character.

Spanky-

Feisty having a job.

I see you're true to your questionnaire form. What is so outstanding about your resume? Stalking?

Speaking of tit sucking, that stock market got to you; didn't it? Have no fear you can always buy a government T-bill after you mature.

Didn't you know the queen bee snaps her whip

I don't snap my whip - I crack it... ;p

Brianb,

Bryan - if you are ignoring me, then why do you bother reading what I have to say?

Assface. Read post 2.6. Classy brining my wife into the conversation. Guess you cannot defend your comments so trash someone's family. Your a cancer Brianb and all that share your opinion.

Feisty doesn't command anyone. I am commanded by common sense, something that is not very common amongst GOP/TPers like yourself.

And for the record assface, you started this by calling me an idiot for having a differing opinion. You brought this upon yourself.

Brianb said:

Again, you're a hyprcrite. Hurt's being wrong doesn't it. At least i can admit when i'm wrong. The jury's out on you.

Sooooo. Nasty is your wife. I'm impressed. Two of a kind on these boards. I guess that makes you feel you own them. At least that's the impression you stink the place up with. Any one on the right is always wrong in your opinion. At least now I know that there is collaberation among the liberals.

So... if nasty is your wife, are True Patriot and Americans first your children? Or a more indirect relation? You guys are an attack machine... firmly ensconced in your bunker, tossing out mortars filled with lethal liberalism, aimed at anyone that disagrees with your opinions. Your goal is to shut out opposing thought and wipe clean the face of your most precious ideology.

I can give as good as I get. You don't own the market on insults. Yeah, I wipe my ass to make sure it's clean... can't say that much about you. I was wondering what that smell was... now I know.

Who said Feisty is my wife? You referenced S&M with my significant other. Your inability to comprehend written word amazes me.

Again. This is not me attacking you because you don't like my opinion. This is about you attacking other people who don't share your opinion. That's what this has always been about. But you are to short sighted to see that. And I'm not that surprised.

Who said Feisty is my wife?

Huh?

Does my husband know this? lol

I mean i like you and all, but that is a big leap. Brianb is just stuck on stupid. He refuses to listen and instead spouts off at the mouth. He really should never have called me an idiot. I can go on for days with this stuff.

Brianb said:

firmly ensconced in your bunker

That would imply that i was hiding from you Brianb. And i hide from no one. Can you say the same?

I mean i like you and all, but that is a big leap

LOL!

I would hold off slapping BrianB around until he's at least old enough to shave...

There's laws against child abuse ya know! ;o)

I wish you kids would behave, there are Freshman Congressman watching and you are sending the wrong message. Michele Bachmann is just staring at you guys like an Amish person at Circuit City.

Did you bother reading the story?

They DID select a preferred photo- Newsweek elected to use one from a LIGHTING TEST.

They did something similar to McCain during the last campaign- so, it's pretty obvious where the Newsweek bias is during presidential campaigns.

Interesting, in light of this

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

Please note that this is a new low for Obama- who gets more and more desperate as time goes on.

I wonder if HE rereads his old speeches when he begins to have doubts. . .

The chart shows Rasmussen has him at a -10... that's a weeks average. Check back next week because his negatives have been falling all week. Yesterday he was a -18. Today he's a -21. He's been falling by 3 points a day.

Sorry Brianb,

Americans pay no attention to the robo calling, push FOX-mussen polls for grossly ignorant FOX VIEWERS.

Those FOX-mussen polls which do not support the way americans feel about the deluded, malcontent, disaffected, bellyaching un-evolved , hobbits intransigence and corrupt T-Party?

There is a 82% disapproval of Americans disapprove of Congress. The disapproval rating for Congress was the highest in the 34 years the question has been asked in the poll and up from the previous high of 77 per cent set in May 2010.

Tea Party Losing Traction After Debt Ceiling Standoff, Poll Shows

In fact, it appears it was the tea party's perceived role in the debt ceiling debate, where many believe its intransigence led to unnecessary stalemate, brinksmanship maneuvering, fears of government shutdown and debt default, and economic instability in the world's markets, that precipitated the fall in poll numbers.

According to the poll, 40 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of anti-tax, less government movement, down 15 percent from a poll taken in February and 11 percent since April. It is also the worst numbers compiled by the tea party since the question was first raised by The Times in April 2010.

http://news.yahoo.com/tea-party-losing-traction-debt-ceiling-standoff-poll-210600862.html

You'd think by now the hobbits would evolve!!!

Now those are some polls worth paying attention too.

Elections have consequences!!

Just look at Wisconsin.

Nashville - it's all deflection. The liberally biased media does not want to show Obama in any negative light. They have demonstrated this for over 3 years. By proxy, they are omitting anything that can hurt his chances of re-election. The typical man on the street can't tell the difference so the media says pretty much what they want. It's only a rare few that actually pay attention and when we point it out, liberals will fight tooth and nail to deny it... because they are being fed propaganda.

So you recommend Faux News Brian? Or maybe Beck or Limpballs? They are a better alternative? Just asking who do you get your talikng points from?

I bet FOX Noise and Limpballs .

What does it matter to you guys? If I tell you I don't listen to Limbaugh because at the time he's on, I don't have access to a radio, you'll not believe it. If I tell you that I spend my nights at my computer, you'll insist that I have the TV on right next to me, when it's actually in the bedroom and I can't hear it.

Believe what you want. Your pea brains cannot conceive that there are conservatives in the world that don't need to be fed talking points like you liberals do. Our opinions are based in reality and not some pie in the sky idealistic fantasy. I know the difference between being fed a crock of sh!t and believing it... you on the other hand accept any amount of crap coming from the democrats, liberals and biased media. I can't help it you choose to close your minds and follow merrily along behind those that will deceive you. That is solely your choice in life. My choice is to make my own damn mind up after weighing the right and wrong of a situation.

Brianb:

I guess the part where folks started getting confused was when you somehow managed to make a story about Michelle Bachman's eyes looking funny on a magazine cover into a conspiracy theory involving "Obama".

But other than that, you seem to be a-ok.

Brianb-999431

Our opinions are based in reality and not some pie in the sky idealistic fantasy. I know the difference between being fed a crock of sh!t and believing it...

Brianb-

Yea we all know how well those inert Reagan and Bush tax cuts worked. They were more like voodoo than ideology.

Where are the J-O-B-S?

So you get your talking points from someone Brianb. You have to. Someone has to feed that empty head of yours.

Our opinions are based in reality and not some pie in the sky idealistic fantasy.

Who is this "our" you are speaking of if this is 100% you own original thought?? Oh, conservatives, my bad. Your ideas are no less "idealistic" than ours my friend. Figures don't lie but liars can figure. I guess the party of education and science is really not "reality" based like the Christian Ideologues that run the GOP/TP. Good call there "free thinker".

laurie-480643

I saw that about Cantor who bets against the US govrnment this is newsworthy just like the knife Cantor has in the back of John of Orange.

Or Mathews, Maddow, Lefty Eddy...just being fair.
