Speaker Hastert is grossly overweight. He looks bad anyway!

Poor AP photog - it's hard to take a picture when the camera's up your a$$!

"He is doing something Vulcanish with his left hand."

Indeed.

To be fair, Hastert is hardly what anyone would consider photogenic in the first place. But, they always seem to make a silk purse out of that sow's rear end, Shrillary, so maybe you're right.

He looks like some weird cross of Michael Moore and Mickey Rooney.

When there's an uproar about a doctored photo or blatant mis-quote, the public relations guy releases a statement saying that one of their anonymous editors made an honest mistake. AP and Reuters should make notation of who CHOSE the photos just as much as who took the photos. I'd say it's as important as citing who wrote the article but I've noticed AP and Reuters often leave that tag off.

It's to make the right look out of control - radical - extreme!

That's how the media cooperates with the dems!

And the guy on the right looks a lot like Bones.

He just doesn't ever look good. Nice guy, but an enormously fat nice guy.
