GOP complains that Palin wasn’t retouched on Newsweek
October 9, 2008 at 3:24 pm by Wayne GarciaBlogonia is just starting to light up with chatter about the extreme close-up that Sarah Palin got on the latest Newsweek cover. Here it is:

GOP spin-ster Andrea Tantaros complained to Fox News:
TANTAROS: This cover is a clear slap in the face to Sarah Palin. Why? Because it’s un-retouched. It highlights every imperfection that every human being has. But we’re talking unwanted facial hair, pores, wrinkles. This is a gross slap in the face after Newsweek has done so many favorable covers of Barack Obama that make him look presidential…and were clearly retouched, flawless..
So now we in the Liberal Media have attacked her children, asked her tough questions AND failed to retouch her photographs to meet the high GOP aesthetic standards?

I think Sarah Palin’s front cover photo looks just fine to me.
And keeping her photo un-retouched makes her look just like “one of the folks” in a folksey sort of way.
Geez, I’d be thankful to even have my own photo on the cover of Newsweek, blemishes and all.

wtf? on the fairness issue, maybe they have a point, but what a stupid point to waste time making…
if anything the cover demonstrates how naturally attractive she is

I don’t know what the Repubs are complaining about either. She looks fabulous.
Hillary doesn’t look this good with 10 pounds of makeup, 2 hours of airbrushing and a camera 100 feet away!
