Michele Bachmann On ‘Crazy Eyes’ Newsweek Cover: ‘It Really Didn’t Impact Me That Much’
Aug. 12 2011, Published 7:30 a.m. ET
Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann did her best to deflect questions Friday about that so-called “crazy eyes” Newsweek cover that some say depicts her in an extremely unflattering light.
Bachmann -- appearing on The Today Show via satellite from Des Moines, Iowa -- was asked about the cover by fill-in host Lester Holt during an interview that covered a broad number of topics.
When pressed by Holt, Bachmann would only say: "It really didn't impact me that much." She then changed the subject to the stock market plunge and Standard & Poors downgrade.
"A magazine photo is not even a factor in the midst of all that," she said.

Holt gave it one more shot, asking if "rage" was an appropriate word to describe her. "No, not at all. I'm a very happy person," Bachmann replied.
