#1 pose modern politicians should NOT be seen making. (Link/Picture)
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 09:22 PM by Infinite Hope


Now, I'm not going to jump off into left field and throw slams her way. This is simply just an accidental pose that politicians should be more careful of stumbling into. I'm sure RWers are having a field day with it already.

Edit: I found it on "My Yahoo" front page as I have a category called "Most Emailed Photos." It's already clearly making its rounds as that's one of the top emailed photos on yahoo.

It doesn't seem to like yahoo links.

Edit: Grrrrr...finally. It doesn't like to work in the DU bracket system for links.

8. It's a Hitler salute
I just went to the most emailed photos at Yahoo.
Not very flattering but I've seen Republicans doing the same or worse.

11. That's not so bad.
I do think all candidates this time around have signed onto the "No Silly Hats" rule of campaign photo-opping, though. Thankfully!

14. Worst part of that photo was Dukakis was a tanker when he was in the service.

23. Totally.
I was such a kid back then, but I was passionate about Dukakis. He got the rawest of all raw deals. :-(

But he did teach politicians a lesson about photo ops, that's for certain.

17. I'll give that a Minneosta "OOF-da." I wonder if it was the pledge, anthem, or...
America The Beautiful. People often put their hand on their heart for America The Beautiful (oddly enough). Do you have a credible link with the story? That'd be interesting to read.

Many don't put their hand on their heart for the anthem today even. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, though unfortunately it could be, especially with all those "muslim emails" going around.

18. Fortunately, if you're the type to consider fluff like that important,
you're also the type who Obama can most easily spellbind.

19. Yeah, that's silly. I was personally expecting this one, which I had sent to me *three times*
by winger friends.

20. I wish instead of being calculating and manipulative, she'd be herself...
I think behind the politician is an amazing person suppressed; an astounding public servant trapped.

21. No. She made that salute on purpose.
Because she's evil. Pure evil.
Orrr...she's waving hello. That's possible, too.

25. If Only She'd Smile
without letting us count every tooth. That and the big wide eyes...I know...I know. She's just glad to see people but it's too much. It throws the balance of her face out of whack and turns her into a caricature of herself. And she does it all the time. Tone it down, please.
