Don't know if it will still be up when you go there, but when I went to Google News Top Stories at about 2:25 PM EDT, this is the photo of Rush Limbaugh that I found, accompanying the various stories reporting that Rush will not be charged in the discovery, when recently going through customs, of a prescription medicine not in his name.
NewsBusters Noel Sheppard has written about Google's censorship of conservative web sites, and others have accused it of a liberal slant in its selection of stories.
Google claims that its story selection is computer-generated. Hard to believe the same holds true for its photos.
Google/NewsBusters anti-Rush bias ping to Today show list.
Wouldn't that be an appropriate facial expression if someone just had their Viagra confiscated?
Computer generated? GIVE ME A BREAK.
In fairness to AP, it needs to be reported that they put up a real nice picture of him here.

Don't know if Google reads NewsBusters/FR but they've now changed the picture!
LOL. Rush just discussed the situation at some length and with considerable candor.
Do a Google search for "it's a man baby" (you need the quotes, of course) and click on "images" to see a screen of pictures that are tagged with that phrase.
First picture up is Ann Coulter (highlighting her Adam's Apple).
The photos come from the associated linked new stories.
What news source chose that photo?
The entire situation is a scary reminder of the police state that citizens can get embroiled in at a moments notice. I still wonder if I would get 'busted' were I to be found to have some of those drug samples that doctors can hand out. They don't have a patients name on them.
At least it demonstrates who is petty. Our friend Rush will end up with the last laugh, as usual, while the leftist kooks play their high school games.
It was from a site called TMZ.com. Here's the link to their story:

Yikes...there are some people out there with WAY to much time their hands.
Oh, and by the way, if you mention Ann, you gotta post a pic...dem's da rulz!
How does an Adam's Apple works anyway?
Merry Christmas (apparently not) from the Google Grinches:
Rush has talked now about the situation. He said that the woman who fingered him seemed proud of her catch.
He said he has cancelled his trip to Spain and will not be travelling out of the country until period associated with that other case is over (like 18 months).
He says that he must as a precaution against the tricks the left may try to pull by 2008.
Welcome to the USSA. Political persecution er prosecution.
When Rush was talking with the security personal, who held up a white paper bag and asked him what was in there, he said "cufflinks from President Bush, I had dinner with him last week along with YOUR boss..." and named the security director.
"The structure of the larynx is mainly composed of cartilage bound by ligaments and muscle. At the front is the thyroid cartilage, creating the prominence of the Adam's apple in humans. The inferior horns (protrusions at the bottom rear of the thyroid cartilage) of the thyroid cartilage rest on a ring-shaped cartilage called the cricoid cartilage which connects the larynx to the trachea. The cricoid cartilage resembles a signet ring (narrow in front, broader in back). Above the larynx is the hyoid bone, by which (via various muscles and ligaments) the larynx is connected to the jaw and skull. These muscles move the larynx during swallowing. The hyoid is the only floating bone in the body; it is not 'attached' to any other bones. The epiglottis is another cartilage that extents upwards behind the back of the tongue and projects down through the hyoid bone. It connects to the thyroid cartilage just beneath the thyroid notch (the Adam's apple)."
Rush had to wait until after the case was dismissed before going on record against his accusers.
