Newsweek's Crazy Michele Bachmann Cover Photo

Newsweek's controversial cover photo of a crazy-eyed Michele Bachmann is drawing both criticism and laughs.

Here are some of the funniest reactions to Bachmann's Newsweek photo:

"Glazed and Confused" -The Daily Show

"The Girl Next Door (Assuming You Live Next to an Insane Asylum)" -from Funny Or Die's alternate Bachmann Newsweek covers

"The Newsweek cover makes Bachmann look insane. So what's the controversy, exactly?" -BorowitzReport on Twitter

"Newsweek called Michele Bachmann 'The Queen of Rage,' much to the dismay of her husband, who thinks of himself as the queen of the family." -TheIndecider on Twitter

"Michele Bachmann uses those eyes to keep Marcus's homosexual demons at bay. Calling them 'crazy eyes' will destroy marriage." JC_Christian on Twitter

"Honestly, I think the greater technical feat would be Newsweek shooting a photo of Michele Bachmann NOT looking crazy." -ApocalypseHow on Twitter

"Is that the Michele Bachmann Newsweek cover or a painting that follows Scooby Doo with it's eyes?" TheIndecider on Twitter

"She is also apparently 'full of rage' in this photo according to the caption, which strangely is probably the only emotion we would not attribute to Michele in this photo. Our first thought was more like, 'brain dead.'" -Wonkette

"The most shocking thing about Michele Bachmann's Newsweek cover is that Newsweek is still a magazine." -TheIndecider on Twitter

Jon Stewart, interestingly enough, came to Bachmann's defense, saying it was "clearly not an accidentally sh*tty picture of Michele Bachmann" and that Newsweek went out of its way to make her look bad.

Stewart said Bachmann's wide-eyed expression looked like "the exact moment she sees the Amazing Robalto turn his hat into a dove," and added, "There is one thing that you can't say about Michele Bachmann: That's she's not photogenic."

But Newsweek just released the outtakes from its Bachmann photo shoot, and it appears that crazy may be her natural state.

What do you think, was the photo unfair, or was it a fitting portrait of the Queen of Crazy?
