Dang.
Atlantic Monthly, instead of simply withholding their payment to Greenberg, should have placed it in her hands long enough for her to read it and then snatched it back.
That’s the picture I wanna see..
Ok, Ok.....then offer her a lollipop.
Born in 1967 in Montreal and grew up in a suburb of Detroit. Graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1989 with a degree in photography. The daughter of an ophthalmologist and a travel agent, she is married to movie producer Robert Green and has two children, Violet, 4, and Zed, 2.
Robert Green, Greenberg’s husband/spokesperson, tells Radar that he knows nothing about a lawsuit, but adds that his wife has done nothing wrong. “She delivered them the photo that they asked her to deliver. What she does with the rest of the photos is her business,” he said.
Still Greenberg is a tad apologetic. “She feels bad that the Atlantic has been dragged into this. Her beef is not with them. She’s an artist who is expressing herself through the medium she expresses herself through,” Green said. Her beef, obviously, is with McCain and Republicans, many of whom have flooded Greenberg’s studio with e-mails and phone calls, invariably calling her a “cunt” and/or a “bitch,” according to Green. Jeffery Goldberg, who wrote the cover story that Greenberg’s pictures accompany, is decidedly less crude in his name calling, calling her “an indecent person who should not be working in magazine journalism.”
The reaction from the right is no surprise. “We’ve been through it before with the End Times piece,” Green said, referencing a series of anti-Bush photos Greenberg did in 2004 that feature crying children. “There’s a strong predilection on the right to equate dissent with evil.”

Jill Greenberg’s Husband Robert Green is a Bald Faced Liar
“The Green/Greenbergs have tried very hard to discredit me and pressure me. They have tried to pressure me by calling my employer, they have tried to discredit me as an insane person with personal problems who doesn’t even have kids in a national magazine (when in the post criticizing them I state I’m a father of four). And Robert Green has thought it appropriate now to accuse me of harassing and threatening his children when this has *never* happened.”
“It is sad that Mr. Green would try to use his children, drawing unnecessary attention to them, in this whole debate as some kind of a shield from the criticism that he and his wife are justly receiving. But why should that surprise me coming from people like the Green/Greenbergs. Shame on you for bringing your own kids further into this mess that you’ve created.”
“Rather than deal with this criticism directly you instead resort to ad hominem attacks calling me a “gutless f*ckbag” a “wanker” and a “gutless piece of sh*t.” You refer to Boing Boing who suggested that your harassment of me at my work and libel threats might be out of line as “self important Boing Boing.””
