so, USA Today made the editorial change? they policed themselves?<br><br>um, great. <br><br>the bigger story here is that michelle malkin had nothing better to write about. i have no doubt that liberal hacks are having a field-day right about now with a multitude of stories about republicans in trouble. <br><br><br>--<br>"I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country" --president bush on 9/27/05

<font size ="3">Captains Log: Liberal AP photo bias #14,657 - Condi Rice Photoshop job</font size><br><br><br>As usual with these posts, I don't get it. I can kinda see that the sclera of her eyes is a bit washed out. Is that it, or what should I be noticing between the two that is "liberally biased"?<br><br><br>

i think the intent was to use some distraction to get the second photo displayed so that they could have a photo of condi looking too pale on the record. her face looks flushed from the stress the white house is under, i'd guess. anyway, it worked perfectly .

And there was me thinking it was a promo shot for her appearance in the Stargate TV show.<br><br><br>- This is gonna get pretty interesting. <br>- Define "interesting". <br>- Oh, God, oh, God, we're all gonna die..
