While the Newsweak pictures of Sarah Palin are flattering, a number of them are poses typically used by models for clothing or in swim suit ads. Have there been photo shoots by prominant male politicians (other than of themselves or caught by paparazzi) in poses used by male models in similar ads?

The left-wing fifth-column PDS media does not put out a good picture of a conservative, particularly Sarah Palin, without some ulterior, sinister motive. In this case I suspect the photos will crop up in an attempt to imply a less-than-statesman-like quality whenever Palin gives a substantive speech on U.S. policy or denounces the incompetent failures of Barry and his thugs.

Not likely. When she gives a speech on something, they will use a photo of her giving the actual speech. The legitimacy of news requires that a photo from the event accompany the story to illustrate that the event happened. That’s why tabloids use so many artist renderings and photoshopped images to illustrate the latest Bat Boy saga. OTOH, they’ll be stuck with reading the words of a very smart woman and, darn-it, if she’s not beautiful, as well.

How about the Al Gore package picture on Rolling Stone mag?
