The photo game.

The guy who "fixed" that picture, whether the results were accidental or not, had to have looked at it when he was done. Yet there it was on the internet. Maybe he's severely visually impaired?

Editors don't have to modify photos to use them for cheap shots. Any politician or public figure in the course of a day is going to be photographed a lot, and as with any human being, some of those pictures are going to look damn stupid. Particularly if the person is in motion at the time.

This goes beyond liberalism and conservatism. I saw as many "cheap shots" of Kerry before the election as I did of Bush. Some pictures of Kerry showing freeze frames that looked stupid would probably have been seen to be part of some perfectly normal action in a movie. I pointed this out at the time. The bunny suit? Now that was his own damn fault.

It has been traditional for the media to pick photos of Rice that make her look angry. Don't know why.
