Corndog Photo comment: Shouldn't a candidate who is under constant scrutiny
Advertisements [?]
try and avoid camera ops such as the picture of her eating a corndog. The potential for ridicule is extremely high and an image that you would not want to live on.

I see this as a gaffe on Bachmann's part, and a failure of her PR team to let this happen. At least Bush and his team knew enough to have him eat an ear of corn, which even DU was able to photoshop into him eating a squirrel and a kitten. The fact we are discussing it here ad nauseum attests to the fact that it was a gaffe. It sure as hell is not a presidential look that one would want to be conveying.
