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.

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?
