The Bachmann outtakes

Newsweek, under fire from both ends of the political spectrum over the "wild-eyed" cover shot of Michele Bachmann, releases outtakes from the photo shoot with Chris Buck here.


"Many of the photographs taken for the feature showed Bachmann with similar intensity," reads the caption at the start of the nine-shot montage. "Here are more images from the shoot, including some used inside the magazine, showing Bachmann in the nation’s capital and on the trail in Iowa."

The new shots may show some "intensity," but it seems unlikely - given that the bulk are not portraits - that they will stir the same negative reaction, or quell the criticism over what was chosen.
