McCain's robo-wife is scarier than any of those shots.

McCain is Colonel Tigh's long-lost twin.
Anyone?

If the media wanted to kill Obama's candidacy, they could publish a shot of him smoking.
They could also publish any photo of McCain taken from the side.

They are saving them. By the end of the race, you are going to think he is the new Marlboro man.

John McCain can trump any and all unflattering portraits with this one right here.
"Oh, look. A photo of me squinting all funny like. Freakin' hilarious. Here, I've carry this little snapshot in my wallet. It's me at the Hanoi Hilton. I'm the one with the two broken legs. Fucker."

Most of them are just bad photographs: weird angles, improper exposures, weird shutter timing, etc. But those Clinton ones? A surprised eyebrow raise, I can understand. A moment of ecstasy, sure. But what / the / fuck? Is there any reason for anyone's face to do that?

Clearly, "fired up and ready to go!" is not just lip service to Senator Clinton. She puts her money where her mouth is. I'm sorry

Ahhh, Sys Rq, thats where Chelsea gets it.
I have a my.yahoo page for news headlines and comics and stuff, and I've got a column "Most Emailed Photos" and "Most Popular Photos" or whatever, and unflattering images of Hillary keep showing up on them. I wonder who spreads these things around and why!?!

In almost any random photo of Mitt Romney, he looks like a guy wearing a Mitt Romney mask. For a couple of months there I thought they were filming a sequel to Point Break.

Yes, yes; presidential candidates are old, and old faces are deteriorating in unflattering ways.
If they were 7 years old making the same faces it would be titled 'cutest photos from the campaign trail'.

I can not believe this is married to this. Men with 30 year younger wives do not get my vote! Just my envy.

...uh, not that I want to marry someone who is less than zero years old. For the record. Future-oriented envy?

Sorry that has nothing to do with anything. I'll go away now.
