Newsweek Cover, "they made a crazy person look crazy."



Bachmann: The bill goes on to say what's going to go on -- comprehensive primary health services, physicals, treatment of minor acute medical conditions, referrals to
follow-up for specialty care -- is that abortion? Does that mean that someone's 13 year-old daughter could walk into a sex clinic, have a pregnancy test done, be taken
away to the local Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, have their abortion, be back and go home on the school bus that night? Mom and dad are never the wiser. M. Bachmann 10/2/09


The women is batshit crazy .... end of story.

2. And that's not even close to the craziest looking pic of her.
She usually looks possessed.

4. Can't hide the crazy
''And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it

“The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day.”

7. Have never seen a photo of Madame Bachmann that did have that certain look in the
eyes: if the eyes are the mirror of the soul, what type of craziness is being mirrored or what she is smoking/ingesting is undecipherable, but what is mirrored is a not-of-this-world image. :patriot:

10. Newsweek was gentle with her
They could have gone with her Twilight Zone photo without the extra labeling.

5. What is crazy is that statement. Anyone who knows anything about
abortions knows that you take it easy for a week following the procedure. It is a medical procedure that isn't something that you could hide from mom and dad that would be difficult to hide. I'm sure young women do; but it would take a bit of lying and maneuvering to hide that something was wrong.

Also, schools can't force anyone to go to a clinic, take a preggo test, and tune insist they get an abortion. The way most states operate around abortion and minors is almost criminal. Many states have a "must tell mom and dad" clause or an age of consent clause. It's always been a sticking point because if a child is being raped by her father or family member, asking that parent for consent for the abortion is disgusting. How many women should have to ask permission from their rapist to have an abortion.

6. When I first saw the story..
I thought, "it isn't Newsweek or the photographer that made you look crazy; it was the CRAZY that made you look crazy".

11. One wonders what kinda morning cocktail Ms. Bachmann takes every day
Lots and lots of pretty, pretty pills -- probably given to her free by Big Pharma.
