Video shot by NBC campaign embeds Garrett Haake, Jamie Novogrod, and Alex Moe.

Newsweek really missed the boat on this one - they should of included Marcus...
He's SO much more photogenic! lol
Don't really like to comment on candidate spouses/families but...
That dude (Marcus) is just plain weird
Now what makes Rep Bachmann unelectable in my eyes are the flip flops e.g accepted federal money for this and that but at the same time railing against govt spending.
Really?! no joe says "weird" is code for Mormon. Who knew?
But they were just Lutheran a few weeks ago. I get so confused.
Anyway. What makes Bachmann unelectable in MY eyes is HER eyes -- @_@
Yeah... I've never cared about any pols religion in fact I could care less what supreme being anyone worships.
Oh God, I now fear I've inadvertently started a religious war...
More smear tactics from msm, or I should say olm (Old Liberal Media).
Proof that liberalism is the philosophy of the adolescent: whiny, insecure, full of big crazy ideas that have no proctical application in the real world, and with a tragically inflated sense of entitlement!
miked, did you realize your post is a great description of feisty redwig! You left out her frequent incidents of PUI's though....!
LoL No proctical application?
Sounds uncomfortable.
anna molly,
Haha, I must have made a freudian slip.... however the country must feel like it's going through an unwanted proctologist's exam by this administration! .......ouch, painful indeed!
Somebody's got it in for you, Anna Molly. Probably five paid Romney staffers hitting that collapse button!
Nah - the kids have found the keyboards their Mama's hid! ;o)
They sure are a tolerant bunch! lol
America, just look at those GOP candidates. Aren't they something? Romney has a million dollar donor who formed a company for the sole purpose of donating a $1 million to Mitt. Bachmann is, well, a brick short of a load; she doesn't understand economics any better than she does history; the only thing she does understand is her religion--wait, she quit her church. Cain is outraged that folks call the S&P downgrade the Tea Party downgrade and instead blames President Obama for the Bush/GOP massive debt--he should read the explanation which clearly blames the GOP. Huntsman makes sense one minute but loses credibility the minute he tries to claim credit for Boehner regarding a "balanced" approach to the debt problem--Boehner who said NO to closing tax loopholes and increasing tax revenues by simply walking out of the negotiations.
You can aways count on the conservative freedom of speech crowd to collapse post just because it says something they don't want to hear.
she actually looks kind of like the lady in the bright blue outfit and dark, tied-back hair in the Metamucill ad.
Neat.
Say- I wonder how hard it would be to click on the little + sign, and bring back the collaped comments, and read 'em anyway??
jinsd
You are right, but, when she does it, somehow thats different. Much like when the Republicans were spending money, that was different than now. Even though the money being spent now is to repair the damage done by the spending then.
On the other hand, that picture is juat downright scary. Remeber the 3 A.M. phone call? Wake up next to that when the phone rings. Better than a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter morning to get one going.
True... don't recall all the outrage between 2001 - 2009 from the "conservatives" in Congress regarding spending under a "conservative" President.
Ok class....can we say..... PSYCHOPATH.........Very good !
It's Medusa! Maybe I could laminate some copies, put them in my garden and scare away the crows!
Bachmann is right to ignore this issue, that doesnt mean it isnt a big deal for journalism.
Newsweek covers on Republicans are deliberately photoshopped to make the Republicans look weird ...
While numerous worshipful Newsweek Obama covers literally put a halo around his head...
Which reflects the credibility of their articles....zero..
I was furious with the New Yorker for the cartoon they put on their cover of Michelle and Barack Obama as 60's radicals. Also, I hated the outrageous caricature of Mark Warner on the cover of the Sunday New York Times magazine in 2008. That was so unfair to Warner, I still don't know why they went with that ugly drawing.
Uh, oh, am I diminishing the import of this slightly less than flattering picture of Bachmann on a news magazine? Why, yes, I believe I am.
Amy,
Mark Warner is one of the few Democrats whom I think could be a good President...nonetheless, crude caricatures may be annoying, but are not fraudulent..
Photoshopping by subtly changing the eye focus in a picture , to make bachmann look weird..(this was also done to Condy Rice by AP in 2005) .....photoshopping halos around Obama's head, to flatter his appearance . That is flat dishonest .
Looks like newsweek is attempting to create a satire on bachman with such a photo. However the best satire cover has to go to the July 21, 2008 "new yorker" cover of ...

I think the Republican-Tea Baggers who post here on MSN, know that they have nothing more than a bunch of clowns running on their side. However, Huntsman appears to be the only adult from their group.
Barack Not My Fault Obama:
So what's your point. He is putting the blame right where it belongs. With the hardline,party of no, fringe element bunch.
I really don't see what's so bad about this photo. I mean that sincerely.
Her eyes are so wide, I can see the BB bouncing around in her skull!
Michele Bachmann has and does show that it is easy to rant and rave, its easy to show rage. I wonder, though, how she would handle any crisis this country may face were she to be elected president. She has already stated that she would allow the economy to crash, rather than help the country, and by extension the president. How much hate does she have for the president anyway? And how much of her hate can the country afford?
The people collapsing the comments are supporters /republicans ... I have all there emails if you all want them ..
I think that picture shows Bachmann's soul. Her opinion no matter how incorrect trumps facts and I think it shows in her eyes.
[I think that picture shows Bachmann's soul.]
Yes, and it's E-M-P-T-Y...

Unfortunately, the only Republican who could actually looks and sounds like he could be beneficial to the country doesn't have a shot in hell because of his religion as president. Although he make a great VP.
I never have figured out where the "collapse" button is. Do only some people have it?
Heartlight3 -- on the bottom right hand corner of your comment you'll find an '!'.
If you click on that you will get a drop down menu to chose from...
Does the drop down include a 'dumbest talking point of the day' award?
Bet we could wear that sucker out!
While Newsweek photographs Palin with a halo around her head proclaiming she's the new Savior of the party. I didn't hear you TeaParty fools complaining about MSM. MSM is hittin the buttons of the power of public opinion to deny some credibility when they do deserve some while creating false credibility for others who deserve NONE. MSM is feeding this movement from both ends...
Syrin - a lib (maybe drive by?) once told me that clicks on FR/First thought blogs meant $$$ for them. If so, you are right and the editors just like stirring the pot.
when you look at her eyes, she looks like she high and i don't mean on life?
Queen of Outrage?
Sarah your crowni s slipping and you better shore it up before this new pretender runs off with it into the Tea Party jungle. After all yougoverned a whole state and she has done nothing . You at least signed a bill to raise taxes-on Oi lcompanies no less,,,I mean if anyone has a chance-however remnote of pulling Democrats in it is you.
I worked with the Democratically contolled House in alaska and yes we raised taxes. S & P has nothing on me-I can restore the Tiple A bondrating again...And make sure our creditors get paid...Just ask Levi Johnson if I beleive in cmpromising positions...
Instead of running for president, Bachmann, MAYBE you should just be satisfied with being the head of the Tea Party Caucus AND seriously look into getting some plastic surgery done for that crow's feet you have going on around the eyes.
I know that you're getting government money for your farm; but I find that jowls are MORE flattering on pigs and cows; the baby ones that you are growing are scaring the hell out of me.
Just a thought, you know.
I keep reading about the photoshop done to Bachmann's eyes,,,,,,,,For some reason I doubt anyone has reworked 100,000 pics of her face all the way back to her childhood to "give" her that crazy as a coon look,,,,,,,,She was BORN with it!!!!
this thing tonight is going to be nothing but Obama Bashing, expect absolutely no worthwhile content in regards to the economy and jobs or anything...
