Hardball's Haggard Hillary Promo Pic
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/27/2008 3:57:52 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If NewsBusters were ever to use in its promotional material a photo this unflattering of Hillary Clinton, we'd be accused of the worst kind of sexism, of unfairly attacking a candidate based on her looks rather than her views. Check out the image of Hillary that MSNBC used in its promo of tonight's Hardball with Chris Matthews that aired at 5:59 AM EDT today just before Morning Joe came on the air.

Hillary in full wattle, lit like something in a horror flick about to emerge from a closet wielding an ax. If there's a less-becoming snap of Hillary in MSM circulation, I haven't seen it.

View video of promo, and Carlson's comments, here.

The is hilarious. The MSM are trying to push the Clintons out and they are claiming some Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. It couldn't get any better (unless Fred Thompson was our candidate. *sigh*).

Yeah, but everyone knows many of the pics posted here are manufactored and meant to be funny. Mathews uses his on what is ‘supposed to be’ (har har) a serious, unbiased news program.

Does that mean that Prissy may have a “Stained” Blue Suit??

Gads, no man running for office ever has his looks dissected as much as a woman does in any public forum. I’m no fan of her but I’m so sick of hearing about wrinkles, cankles, pantsuits etc. Some of the ugliest men were Presidents. Look at Abraham Lincoln. Only in America would people focus this much attention on stuff like this. No wonder we’re regarded as shallow.

Maybe so, but do you disagree that MSNBC’s choice of this pic reflected anti-Hillary bias?

Only if he 'flashed' the thong to entice Obama...

From "Social impact of the thong", from wikipedia:
One of the biggest thong controversies surfaced in November 1995, when a thong flash by Monica Lewinsky played a pivotal role in her seduction of U.S. President Bill Clinton in what would become the Lewinsky scandal.[6] According to feminist commentator Carrie Lukas, Lewinsky "with her thong-snapping seduction, forever changed the image of the D.C. junior staffer from aspiring policy wonk to sexual temptress."[7]

Remember, Matthews is in bed with Obama.

Chrissy girl with osamaobama "riden' dirty" is a mental picture I could have done without this morning.

That picture of Hillary is not relatively bad. The really bad pictures are where she makes her bug-eyed crazy faces. Nothing wrong with showing wrinkles. In view of how photos can turn out, the photo may or may not be doctored. The media's up to now coverup of the Clinton's evil side is of far greater concern that whether or not a picture of her has been doctored. Nobody has asked her about Juanita!

On some days and from some angles hillary does look that bad. When you see her giving a speech all dressed up and with her special make up professionally applied, she doesn't look like that. But after a hard week, no sleep, without make up, yeah, hillary looks like that. And like someone said, looks don't matter, she is a socialist self serving b***h, I'll be glad when she loses.

Don’t expect anything more lofty than mediocrity from Chris Matthews, whose idea of greatness is John Kennedy.

Anyone can look terrible in photos depending on various factors. They obviously selected that one intentionally. Then again, it is nice, for a change, seeing democrats being treated like repubicans by the leftwing media.

Maybe someone has a picture or two handy of her going cross eyed on her drink. You never look at your drink, you look at people.

That sounds like the voice of experience. Not throwing stones, mind you, I've been there.

I am so grateful to you, Mark, doing the work [sane] Americans won’t do .. like watching MSNBC.

This type graphic/photo presentation is precisely what the MSM did undetected to Republians/Conservatives only before Newsbusters and the internet came along. They still do it, but you are there to publicize it.

And, now they are doing it to one of their (formerly) own. If he doesn’t watch it, Matthews may lose all both of his women viewers :)

I don’t even think that is a pix of Hillary. Doesn’t look like her nose at all. Where are the bags under the eyes? Hillary has them with the best make-up job on her best day, plus above her eyes and below the eyebrows is puffier than this. The eyeballs don’t look like the right color either, even with the blue contacts.

her face is okay but she loses control and makes crazy faces over and over again. Her idiotic grin is creepy.

You would think that someone would have advised her about making those exaggerated facial expressions. But then again, maybe they did.

Wow. If it was anybody but Hillary, I would say that’s cruel.
Of course, Matthews says B. Hussein Obama sends tingles up his loin, so naturally he’s going to try to bury Clinton.
