Photojournalist Mad at RightWeb's Use of His Photo
Publius Forum ^ | 02/18/10 | Warner Todd Huston

A photojournalist from the St. Petersburg Times in Florida is very upset at you people. He wants you all to know that you should be ashamed of yourselves for misusing his photo.

Ed Fountain is the photog that took the famous picture that the right-o-sphere guffawed at a few weeks ago showing President Obama strangely bowing to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio.

In light of the many times Obama has bowed to the floor in supplication before several of the world’s leaders -- making himself look like a weakling to the world -- conservatives made light of this photo saying that it shows that this weakling president will bow to anyone. After all, why the heck would anyone supplicate themselves before the Mayor of Tampa, Florida? He’s the president, fer cripes sakes...

That’s funny! Sounds to me that if he didn’t want someone to use the picture maybe he shouldn’t have taken it. The old “I’m a victim” whine is loud and clear!

Overheard conversation:

“See how that hair restorer works? If your goin’ bald...”
