It was a news photo that, as Gawker quipped, was "ripe for captioning."
A pic of Mitt Romney bending over, while a seemingly astonished schoolgirl stands behind him, mouth agape. The photograph, posted Monday by The Associated Press for all to see, has since surged across the Internet. The candidate riding a wave of confidence from last week's debate performance was suddenly made, pardon, the butt of jokes.
So was it a cheap shot?
Tim Graham, media analysis director at the Media Research Center, says absolutely.

“So was it a cheap shot?”
At least Mitt didn’t have an Arab in FRONT of him!!
Very well said. :) The AP also posted a picture after the debate showing Romney with his arm outstretched...supposedly like a Hitler salute. They cheapen themselves as a medium which is why I never frequent their site.
I can hardly wait until the little girl is replaced by an awe-struck Obama....
I don’t see anything embarassing about that picture, people bend over, that’s why we have muscles and joints.
He’s probably thinking, “Obama, kiss my @$$!”
Obviously cropped. I wonder what the original image showed regarding the setting? Was he picking up something, helping someone? It would change the entire theme of the image.
Desperation time.
I have to say I just think it is funny - yes they are trying to make fun of him but it is a humerous pic and as a Romney voter it makes me laugh. Laughing is good for you ;)
“At least Mitt didn’t have an Arab in FRONT of him!!”
Or BEHIND him. . . .!!
Talk about BULLYING, AP you did much damage to this young girl.
Romney will be laughing all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.!!!
The media and liberals.. all freaking children. These are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS????
2. If she was looking at his rear, the only thing that I can think of that might illicit such a reaction is if his trousers seam gave way. If that were so the MSM would make sure we know about it.
That is right!!!!
*sigh* We’re dealing with teenagers here.
I see London, I see France.
I see Obama on your pants.
Open season for the butt shots of Michelle. The press hid the shots of Michelle’s ghetto butt so now they have opened the door for reciprocation...it won’t be pretty.
