Lib Photographer Gleefully Springs at Chance to Make McCain Appear "Sinister" for Atlantic Cover; Proudly Admits Her Bias

The picture that gay gossip site and antisemitic conspiracy newsletter The Atlantic chose was horrid enough, but check out the noir-heavy shot she had wanted to use.

A Touch of Evil, much?

And seriously, the picture they ran deliberately makes him look ancient and, thanks to the prominent lumps in his face, ridden with melanomas. And the photographer admits that was no happy accident.

Newsbusters shows that The Atlantic knew all about her hardcore bias, but apparently she was just what they were looking for.

Meanwhile, it's actually difficult to find an Obama picture in which liberal photographers haven't managed to shoot him with a halo around his head.

Thanks to CJ.

From Vanderleun, who notes Obama campaign staffers may have discovered the key to beating Palin: writing, producing, and filming campy parodies of Les Miserables.

As Fark says: You're doing it wrong.

PS, Obama's staffers are, um, not diverse. I haven't seen so many white people outside a KKK White Pride Olympics. (The KKK White Pride Olympics consists of four sports: golf, lacrosse, yacht racing, and Greco-Roman wife-beating.)
