"She's got crazy eyes."

[Wetzelbill]

You remember that old SNL infomercial skit with Heather Locklear (I think it was her) when she acted normal for the first part and then after awhile started spewing out crazy things, like racial slurs etc?

SNL had a fake caller who called in and said that as soon as Heather's character came on tv the caller thought that she had "crazy eyes." Pretty hilarious skit, I always thought.

Well when I was watching the Hardball video with Michele Bachmann and Matthews just kept letting her talk and talk and talk, I kept thinking: "She's got vacant, crazy eyes." Now I was busy at the time so I kept popping in and out watching the video, but it's unmistakable, she's got something unhinged about her. Even in her still pictures.

That woman ain't right.

And watch some of the people interviewed after McCain-Palin rallies.

The worst vile spewers all have that same vacant, crazy-eyed look.

It's unnerving.

2. Remember Applewhite? She looks like his relative and intellectual equal- Photos

[Lubernaut]

3. That's uncanny.

Though she probably doesn't believe in "comets"...

13. When I saw her on Hardball I flashed back to Applewhite almost immediately

If you watch both tapes with the sound off its uncanny.

4. She reminds me of the Manson girls

Not to imply that she's violent, but she has that same cultish, true-believer air about her. She's one of those people who got both the "conservative gene" and a strict conservative upbringing (I'm guessing).

5. Those are the eyes of blind faith in the Lord!

You know, the one who hates us anti-Americans!

6. I thought the same thing.

They look drugged.

[CADEMOCRAT7]

7. She appears to be brainwashed, ignorant, paranoid and full of fear.

Like the wing-nuts at the rallies. The sheep of the dark side of the GOP.

9. Yeah, I've remarked in the past that Michele Bachmann's eyes "pulse".

It's really the only way to describe it. It goes big and shrinkens...it makes me nervous. But let's be realistic, this is not that big of a deal compared to her policies which are 100% more scary and crazy.

10. My 13yo daughter noticed that, and her loony unchanging smile.

She was really creeped out. She also noticed that she refused to answer Tweety's questions and just spouted the same talking points over and over again, like a robot.

11. Watch this one...

12. I agree. She and Cindy McCain share that quality. The same crazy look. Nothing there.

[Kaleko]

14. Bachmann has the eyes of a fanatic.

They're fixed, reflecting a fixed internal position that makes people like her incapable of taking other positions than the ones they're fixated on.


Here's what Churchill had to say:

A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.
- Sir Winston Churchill

15. very much a fanatic
