I don't know about you but I've had it with the hysteria over Newsweek's Michelle Bachmann cover. Critics say it is "sexist." Oh, come on. Yeah she looks a little nuts here, but sexist? Really?
It reminds me of this so-called "sexist" magazine cover featuring Sarah Palin. I'm sorry, did Newsweek paparazzi stake out Sarah to come upon this image of her with the flag, or did she happily pose for it?
I don't remember anyone complaining this magazine cover was "sexist."
And how about this one? I'd say it's pretty accurate, by the way. Don't get me wrong. I'm not one to scream about the "liberal media" although I am actually pretty (fiscally) conservative. I just get tired of female politicians playing the "sexism" card whenever they're faced with less-than-flattering press. I say man up, ladies.

Sexist? Whatever. Is she contesting that it’s the WORST PICTURE IN HISTORY? We’d say the same thing about a bad photo of a man.
Yes it does make her look like she’s scanning the sky for UFOs. This is Newsweek under Tina Brown. Recall they just did that weird Princess Diana at 50 cover, digitally aging her and photoshopping her into a photo of Kate Middleton. Beyond bizarre. But hey, we’re talking about it.
Sexism is a real problem but it shouldn’t be the go-to allegation whenever a woman receives bad press or whatever. Diminishes its meaning IMO.
