For reasons I won’t even try to fathom, conservative columnist/fluffer Toby Harnden thought this was an awesome picture of Congresslady Crazypants:
Michele Bachmann tries out a local delicacy at the Iowa State Fair – a foot-long corn dog. Photo: Toby Harnden
Needless to say, any non-conservative website that reuses this picture will be accused of hating on strong conservative women and blood libel and shit like that.
Makes me want to break out that old picture of Margaret Thatcher flashing her tits while she was on spring break in ’79…
Added:
Must be a Minnesota conservative thing:

Is that Anthony Wiener looking on?
Sweet Jeebus, I wish I hadn’t seen that.
Doesn’t this woman have PR flacks/handlers to prevent this sort of thing?
She’s on her second one. She holds the bone from the first in her left hand.
Well. That’s certainly more presidential than that fakakta Newsweek cover. Well done, Bachmann 2012!
Bachmann definitely has the witch fingers thing going.
I do have to point out that many of us DFL/liberal types in the midwest really like our corn dogs (my favorite MN state fair version is called a Pronto Pup). Most of us manage to avoid cameras for that first bite though.
Does that sign behind her say it’s $6 for the foot long but just $3 for dinks?
Why, WHY, why Lord must we be afflicted?
Re Thatcher’s tits:
I hope to FSM you’re referring to Spring Break 1879.

Huh, it appears Marcus taught her well.
In fairness, it’s hard to eat food like that without looking like you’re giving someone a BJ. But man, so many things went wrong. That little bend in the corn dog, that more-pleasure-than-I’ve-ever-felt look in her eyes…maybe it’s one of those magical cameras that shows people as they are on the inside, not just the outside.
Probably “Hot Links”.
No, that’s “inks”. After getting all hopped up on corn dogs and deep fried butter sticks you can get a tattoo for just 3 clams. Mrs Bachmann got a “thuglife” tramp stamp to (submissively) match Marcus’ “thug’s wife”.
One thing that shot shows is how haggard she is getting from just the first portion of the campaign. It’s a tough road and, like Ms Palin, her looks are her biggest draw.
It also takes a lot of energy to maintain a totally bogus belief system. Those walls don’t stay up without constant maintenance.
A matched set:

Times a thousand. We have a new number one “Oh-my-(religious entity of choice)-I-hope-I-don’t-see-it” when clicking TBogg. Followed by:
2. Malkin’s cheerleader bit
3. Hugh Hewitt’s man-tits
4. The Bristol tit-shimmy
5. What am I missing, people? I know there’s more…
Graphically unforgiving territory indeed.
How strange – only an engagement ring, no wedding band. Oversight?
Dear aspirants to public office,
During the long campaign you will find yourselves forced to swallow many things, least of all your pride. The ubiquity of image recording devices in the modern age naturally means that every stupid mistake you make will be pixelly recorded for all time. Keep this inescapable truth forefront in your mind as you face any tubular food products on the campaign trail and remember to NOT try to stuff the whole thing into your mouth.*
Your friend,

* Hopefully, the polysyllabic construction will stump any Republican candidates that may stumble upon it.
Jebuz! Don’t encourage the blogger. Next thing you know TBogg’ll have a blinged out Marcus Bachmann frolicking in a cheerleader outfit.
Why, that strangely reminds me of the image I was trying to figure out how not to refer to while mentioning.
New tag(s)?
Toby’s last line is pretty good: “After applying mustard and allowing Mr Bachmann to take the first bite, she chomped into it with gusto.”
Sometimes, a corn dog is just a corn dog.
Sarah Pain’s cellulite.
I have to admit that I’ve seen a few deep throat porn scenes, and brother, that’s it!
I wonder if she could get two of those in there. A double corndog penetration, if you will.
Would it be worse or better if the dog was in a bun? I mean, who eats a hot dog by itself (except maybe KLo, late at night when she’s looking for something to nosh in her fridge that isn’t a bucket of ice cream?)
Side-by-side? Obviously she’s mastered the end-to-end double dog down technique….
Marcus likes his dogs in the buns!
(shit, we’re gonna get TBogg fired)
This post has moved into “rhetorical territory that is specifically vicious, graphically unforgiving, and totally out of bounds for what the rhetorical endeavor of FDL and the Progressive movement is about”.
Whatever happened to the “we are a foul mouthed fem blog” ethos that defined FDL for years?
That said, that is an image for the decades, just like Assrocket.
Follow up pix? Did she swallow?
Admit it, TBogg, you posted this just to lure PunchingbagLefty into another humorless comment for our amusement.
Alas, it does not appear that he took the bait.
On the other hand, there does seem to be a bit of an infestation of concern trolls worried over the lack of civility and manners.
pegged it!
I think this photo probably just underscores the fact the Bachmann and Palin are competing for the same voter demographic.
Jane sure is taking her time firing your ass. She’ll probably get around to it next week.
It’s the eyes that make it so damn skeevy. Everything else is just “meh”, but when that half-lidded expression is added you just go to a whole new level of “DO NOT WANT”.
A bone? My regards to Marcus.
It doesn’t help that she decided to go down on a foot long . Christ , if you crop that photo right , you wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s a corn dog , or if Michelle’s doing interracial MILF porn as a sideline.
-boots up Photoshop-
Too much teeth in the technique.
The farm animals of America. No offense to cattle, pigs and horses.
I’m sorry. That’s completely out of line and I apologize to any, and all, goats.
Credit where due—she’s doing a pretty good job on that thing.
A (Sexist, or just ’cause she’s too kooky to succeed in the general?) attempt to discredit her, along w/ the migraines & Xian marriage submission deals.
Watertiger has another hilarious pic of the Bachmann corndog event.

Bachmann’s hubby’s pretending discomfort with the whole gobbling a penis-like meat thing.
Predictably, the penis-shaped object bends to the right.
‘I wonder if she could get two of those in there’…ya gotta admit, corn dog gang bang seems to suit her. Like the double-wetsuit guy, who knows what she and Marcus *I only nibble* (and ya gotta love the way he holds it) get up to…
Well, there’s that Ross Douthat montage with the bling and the bouncing boobs. That always gives me a strong urge to wash my mind out.
I prefer my insane presidential candidates to be photographed sinking face-forward into a vast mass of cotton candy. It’s so much more ethereal.
Shakira’s ass.
As we all know, there is method to her madness and I would posit that she knew exactly what she was doing.
In that one shot she has just one upped Sarah Palin. You just know that image is now the desktop wallpaper of countless serious people.
Have the brain bleach ready for when Palin gets caught in some “unfortunate” photo.
Between the photo of Bachmann and then the one of Marcus… You know how sometimes you can’t stop laughing, and then no sound comes out, but you are still laughing?
This is the first time in my life that this has ever happened to me when I am all by myself.
Marcus puts a bag over Michelle’s head when she eats that special hotdog.
She’s certainly not delicately nibbling at that thing, and she shoved a goodly part of it in her mouth. That photo is like a train wreck, but I can’t seem to stop myself from looking at it. I keep thinking maybe it wasn’t that bad, then I look again and I see that it was.
It’s really the Marcus photo that is so funny.
I wanna see how Rick pArry handles one of those things.
Hey, c’mon, folks. That ain’t nuthin’ but a corn dog.
A careful comparison of the photo with the accompanying “Marcus Orgasm” picture suggests that she has a Sharpie marker in her hand. Useful for autographing corndogs.
a corn dog is a corn dog is a corn dog, dude.
Marcus obviously has some issues in need of resolution.
Great Jumping Horny Toads. Michele Bachmann is a Morlock!
It explains so much.
In my formative years, I was taught that if you’re gonna eat a banana, eat it like it’s an ear of corn. Same with corn dogs, I would guess.
Ooooh, watching Michele eat an ear of corn is gonna be fuckin’ awesome!
RE: GunsBeforeButter @44 – Mickey Kaus told me that there is NO WAY he’s letting Michelle or Marcus touch his goats.
