Two days later, our post about Michele Bachmann — you know the one — is drawing significant amounts of debate on Google+.

Warning: There is profanity in it (so careful hopping in), but there are also good points being made about the photo in question. Our personal take: It’s funny, but it’s funny in that “I can’t believe they actually took that photo” sort of way. Ultimately, as a culture we need to have a debate about whether we should necessarily use an unflattering photo just because we can. Or whether we should hold our politicians to the same standard Perez Hilton holds celebrities. Look, people on the left dislike Michele Bachmann, but there are far better ways to prove your point than by taking photos of her eating corn dogs in an unintentionally risqué way.
