Which Duh Donald™ clearly did not learn from Kahn-Gate. But it seemed that maybe he'd finally taken the hint with the Melania pics.

Occam's Razor dictated to me that the alternative to not publishing the pics was the liberal media controlling the story, so having friend Rupert Murdoch beating them to the punch would the lesser of two evils.

But The Young Turks have come up with a couple of alternate theories. And remember look how the Rethugs reacted to the sight of Michelle Obama's arms.
