Hot Air and Little Green Footballs both had this pic up and commented on it. It looks weird, but the explanation makes sense; the "disappearing" microphone cord is actually motion-blurred and very hard to see.
I realize that the whole Reuters/MSM fauxtography scandal has got us all hypersensitive about media picture manipulation, but now I think we (meaning conservatives) are in danger of going overboard and jumping on every tiny irregularity in a picture as being evidence of a conspiracy, when really most of them can be explained away. And that plays right into the hands of those that want to portray conservatives are paranoid tinfoil-hatters. We need to pick our fights better.

"We need to pick our fights better. "
Better safe then sorry I say. And "strippers entertaining the troops" is far more controversial then "entertainers dancing or singing for the troops". In such a case, airbrushing a microphone out of the picture makes all the difference.
Again, I defer to those who are photo experts and if they believe that this kind of "exposure anomaly" can happen..then I wil back off.
But in the larger scheme of things I think we are only beginning to uncover the mountain of manipulated photos that exist in the media on any given day.
