Puuuulease. Its called freedom of speech. There would be TONS of lawsuits if people went to Freakingnews.com
I dont like the ethics behind that photo but its entirely within the law to do that to a photo.

Suing a parodyist for making a parody with your photo?
A “professor of journalism ethics” should know better.

They say a picture is worth 10,000 words. Well his 10,000 words slandering all of American Forces are certainly worth a picture. Live with it! You did it! Actions have consequences!

Does lying come under ethics? Seems to me that a phony picture is no different than a lie. Oh Well! what do I know?

Kerry people are scared that worse photos of him might emerge. More than likely they are held back until he wins the nominatin. Certainly the FBI has them in their files.

Letterman and Leno better watch out. This is just another Rat attempt to keep something in the news and to hide their own dirty tricks.

So can we still get completely ignored when we openly say who did it?

Suing a parodyist for making a parody with your photo?I don't remember but I saw claims that the photo had a credit to AP associated with it. That might be actionable.

What a crock of crap!
Hey DemoRATs, it's just "satire."
Isn't that the line that Al Freaken uses when he smears people?
