COULTER RIPS MAG PHOTO 'DISTORTION'
The Drudge Report ^ | April 18, 2005 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 04/18/2005 9:09:12 AM PDT by MisterRepublican

"Why can't they just photograph conservatives straight?!" blasted this week's TIME magazine covergirl Ann Coulter.

The bestselling author and controversialist slammed magazine editors for fronting a photo of her, she claims, which is so distorted "my own mother would not even recognize me!"

The photographer, Platon, appears to have used a wide "Fisheye" lense for the cover snap, stretching Coulter's legs and feet -- while shrinking the rest of her body.

Ann looks sort of like "Edith Ann" in that photo. All that is missing is the huge rocking chair.

Pretty funny. Their headline reads fair and balance she isn't....but then they use a lens to distort her.

Except you can't buy a pair of shoes today (outside of birkenstock & sholes) that don't look like that.

I don't see what she's so angry about, I think it's a fine picture.

Dad always used to say, 'don't trust women with very pointed shoes.'

That's been good advice in my life! Dad knows his stuff!!!

Hey, they spelled her name right. She just got the kind of publicity money can't buy. She doesn't care about the picture, it's all hype.

I think its a cool photo, and makes Ann look dangerous and powerful.

The imagery, including what she wore (which she should have picked something with color), all designed to make her look shrill, sharp, emotionless/unfriendly, mean, etc etc, the liberal image of a conservative woman.

Spot on...Black and white, (Pilgrim/Calvanist/Puritan) witch hunter look which does not do her justice. I like the pic of her with the rifle sitting on the deck. It has a kind of 'down home' effect that appeals to me.

Miss Coulter should run for the presidency in 2008.

She would make a fine President of the United States of America.

That, of course, would be THIS one, from www.anncoulter.org:

I agree. And lots of women wish they would look like her on that picture.

Freepers should respond in kind with a picture of liberal spear chucker, gaybaiter, arabic-profiling, communist sympathathizing, and well known Marxist leaning hag, Hillary Clinton on the cover of SLIME magazine.

The picture will probably get more circulation than Ann's...

Is Tulsa's mayor Bill LaFortune one of the worst mayors?

If he's not...he should have at least made the short list.

Oh....Coulter is making a big too doo...out a nuttin'....IMO.
