Newsweek's "crazy" Bachmann "photo" leads Greenfield to offer future cover ideas

Daniel Greenfield, in a column published today titled “Future Newsweek Covers,” takes a satirical look at the once-relevant magazine’s cover this past week featuring a “crazy eyes” photo of Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, one of the frontrunners for the 2012 GOP Presidential nomination.

Solidly conservative, pro-Israel and anti-jihad, Greenfield's daily column has in recent months become, in the Philadelphia area and elsewhere, among the leading must-reads among taxpaying, patriotic and freedom-treasuring Americans, both Jewish and non-Jewish.

Greenfield introduces the piece by reminding people of the remarkable decline of Newsweek: “Newsweek Magazine sold for less than the face value of a single issue and it was still too expensive at the price. Now it's using the same marketing strategy as crazy people who ask for change on the street and Michael Moore. Offensive photoshopped covers.”

He continues: “Five years ago if you told someone that Newsweek would be desperately trying to sell copies with photoshopped smear covers of Republican candidates, he wouldn't believe it. If you told someone about it five years from now, he wouldn't remember what Newsweek is anymore.”

Greenfield then offers some “future Newsweek covers.” These include, among others, “Santorum: BLOOD SUCKING FIEND,” “HERMAN CAIN: too BLACK to be PRESIDENT?,” and “OBAMA: So much better than Jesus. No, Seriously, we mean it.”
