Who's the babe munching on the smiley face?

edit to add: Never mind, that doesn't seem to work either.
It looks like a girl eating a big yellow cookie,
a big yellow happy smiling cookie.

Perhaps Michele Bachmann’s Newsweek cover photograph wasn’t so bad after all. At the Iowa State Fair this weekend, just before she won the Ames straw poll, Bachmann was photographed by Daily Telegraph writer Toby Harnden sampling a corn dog in a deeply unflattering pose. Was the controversial image sophomorically sexist or just plain funny? Or both? No matter your opinion, the photo is not nearly as entertaining as the one of Bachmann’s husband, Marcus, reluctantly enjoying a taste.

That link has photos of Rick Perry and others in similar poses:

I found the the front view image, too:
