thanks for your comment. This photo is really causing many Republicans Mad.. Personally, I haven't seen Barack Obama's photo in Newsweek or perhaps i Just forgot about it. But I remember McCain's photos made ugly or sinister by some photographer.

no offense, but john mccain isn't the best looking person in the world anyways. but truthfully, i find the palin picture sort of empowering. i think it's not a slap at all. and to think that someone would change their vote because of a picture? come on. it's a pretty picture, either way. and for the obama cover they're talking about, it isn't as close a picture and it's at a different angle. you have to take it all into consideration. seriously. and look at his neck, they don't remove his wrinkles there...so whatever.

The 'Becoming McCain' cover was actually quite flattering and played up his veteran background. I think you're referring to the 'There Will be Blood' cover.

first they go into a frenzy calling obama a terrorist... and now THIS. OMG there is a massive case of insanity in the republican party. what do they treat their mailings with? a distraction germ? should this lady end up, god forbid, our next vp, it won't be long until she's a wrinkled old hag from the stress. THEN worry about the closeups. every day and sometimes several times a day, the republicans give me another reason to throw up.

IF THEY PUT JOHN MCCAIN'S DEBATE PHOTO ON THEIR COVER SOMEDAY WHERE HE LOOKS LIKE HE USED CASKET MAKE-UP PUT ON AT A MORGUE, AND ACTED LIKE IGOR AS HE DRUG HIS LEG ACROSS THE STAGE, I HOPE THEY AT LEAST ASK ABOUT HIS CURRENT HEALTH PROBLEMS, AND ACTUALLY GET SOME MEDICAL ANSWERS AND DOCUMENTATION SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS THESE ISSUES AND WHY HE SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED.

Palin is happy that at least they didn't show her horns.

Asked if she is going to trick or treat on Halloween, she replied of course.
What will you go as?
ans. THE WH*RE OF BABYLON. What will you be wearing?
ans.: The same outfit I've been campaigning in.
They are now making sex dolls in my image for the up tight religious right. I really turn them on. Been selling sex outfits for the faithful born agains too.-

I can't help but think if they HAD retouched it, Fox would be hollering Newsweek was trying to portray her as a 'pageant queen'. That's the way the Fox machine operates.

Yes, and it's dry and rubbery just like Palin. I'm a good Evangelist so I just close my eyes and push.

You're right. I do think Palin is a nice looking woman and her picture was a very favorable portrait. The complaints about the photo are coming mostly from the right. The Republicans are the ones that wanted all the wrinkles air-brushed out of the picture.

the cons should be much more worried about McCain's wrinkles than Palin's wrinkles, since McCain has oh so many of them.

I studied photography and photojournalism in Washington DC. where photo editors from The National Geographic’s and professional Capitol Hill photographers would often lecture at my school and critique our work. At every lecture at every seminar and critique we where told to NEVER, NEVER, NEVER Photoshop a news photo. We spent an entire class on ethics where the instructors did nothing but tell us how photoshoping out the smallest detail could end our careers.

I see nothing wrong with the photo of Sarha Palin, The true Sarha Palin came out in the photo. I saw the facial hairs above her lips and the crows feet next to her eye's. But she has to reailize when you have your photo took with no touch up it show the real you,of course I have to say she's one of the Folks", now I can not say that she is beatiful, how would that sound coming from a nother women? All I can say beautie is skin deep and the kind of person you are that make's one beatiful. Well the Republicans are mad all the time anyway they will get over it -if they dont oh well.I wonder what Fox News are talking about right now ? I wonder if they are talking about Sarha's photo? what do you think the photo would have looked like if Maveric McCain had taken the photo with her? Who cares we all take photos with no touch up's, I would say, that ones best photo is of themselfs without touch up's.

I'm sick to death of professional politicians running the country into the poor house. Maybe "one of the folks" is exactly what we need. In fact, maybe 500 and some of "the folks." Fire them ALL and elect independents. Neither the Republicans NOR the Democrats have done us much good for quite a while now.

putting the dems and cons in the same boat and saying neither of them has done us any good is simply wrong. Clinton paid down the debt, created a massive surplus, created 22 million new jobs, and lead us through 8 years of peace. and if Gore had been rightfully elected, we wouldn't be in two losing wars, wouldn't be in massive debt through massive spending and massive tax cuts for just a few people, our infrastructure wouldn't be crumbling all around us, the world wouldn't hate us, and we'd have a whole new green industry generating millions of jobs and billions of dollars right now.

the cons should be much more worried about the poll numbers rather than Palin's wrinkles.

while foxnews ranted on about a bad photo, McCain slipped another point since the debate. -

Exactly! Actually, I think Fox would have found something to cry 'victim' about regardless of the photo.

i bet the same people complaining about the cover are also the same ones drawing a beard on any pic of hillary clinton that they can find. not saying that wouldnt be funny, but fair is fair. its not our fault the only thing palin has to run on is her good looks(which seem to be deteriorating), shouldve known the beauty and the beast, i mean the beast and the beast ticket was going to bite you sooner or later.

If Palin wanted to be airbrushed, then she should have opted for a spread in Vogue or Playboy. Playboy would have gotten Bush lots of voters. Mayb not conservative ones, but lots of voters.

Got something against ears? Why not take a razor to your own, put a white bandage round your head and call yourself van Gogh.
