Ok, I'll bite...whats the GOP's gripe about Palin on Newsweek? Anyone heard?

[grannie4peace]

1. they didn't retouch it!

[mscuedawg]

6. You are kidding me....

:rofl:

well, if she were so *perfect*...they wouldnt have to, now would they?!?!?!

[washingdem]

2. They said they should have touched up the picture of her to hide unwanted hairs, pores, etc.

[otohara]

27. Two Un-Plucked Eyebrow Hairs - OMG

although I did zero in on them - and laughed. It's hard keeping up with the eyebrow hairs for us "regular" gals, who don't have traveling hair/makeup artists.

[spinbaby]

3. They didn't airbrush out her little moustache

The freepers were all traumatized to discover she was a real person.

[TwilightGardener]

4. She ugly up close. Like everyone. Newsweek took her power away.

[yardwork]

22. Actually, I was impressed. Not many people's faces could take that kind of closeup.

That in no way changes my opinion of her, however.

[TwilightGardener]

26. She looks like someone's ordinary middle-aged beaky-nosed mom, up close.

Again, her only real power is her "beauty", not her brains, her ideas, her achievements--the rest of her is pretty mediocre.

[Bucky]

28. She's really quite a gorgeous woman. I think their complaining is pavlovian

They just like to bitch about whatever, like when your girlfriend is mad at you ignoring you, but instead complains about some little slight in the past, like that time you made a pass at her mother. I mean, come of it, lady--if you think about it, it's really kind of a compliment. Jeeze.

Oh, wait, what was I talking about?

5. Fox complained that Time didn't airbrush the cover photo. //

[SoonerPride]

7. She's not a Playboy model after all and somehow it's Newsweeks fault.

[tridim]

8. Apparently Repukes are upset that she's not perfect.

I guess they'll have to spend an extra 10 minutes in their wanking sessions.

[RichGirl]

24. Show some compassion...

Some of those wankers have now realized that they are wanking off to someone who looks like their mother!!

[gauguin57]

9. I completely forgot. THAT's how I choose a president ... based on their pores and unwanted hairs.

Good lord. We are officially in bizarro world.

[Hersheygirl]

10. Oh heck, I didn't even take the time to look at the cover

When I saw her picture, I immediately tore it off and tore it to shreds.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Funny, that's exactly what I do when my Newsweek subscription comes, too, if she's on the cover.

I can't stand her fucking face looking at me from my coffee table.

[undeterred]

11. There is a stray hair on her upper lip. They don't care about her inner ugliness.

[ErinBerin84]

12. as other posters have shown

It's not like Newsweek hasn't featured covers of Obama where it looks like he has wrinkles and they obviously did not retouch. It's just that Obama is more naturally beautiful than Palin :) But in all seriousness, it's because the GOP expects its women to look like Fox anchors...

[Essene]

14. here is the cover.

[Wolfies Revenge]

17. looks bad but

that's the way most people look at that age without airbrushing. serves the wolf killer right to have that done to her.

[LibraLiz1973]

18. Admittedly not a flattering picture... or even a good one. But who cares? I thought

her beauty pageant days were over?? Has no one told her she is running for office, not GILF?

[damntexdem]

21. Oh my gosh, wrinkle lines around her eyes. That's it!

I'm just not voting for her. ;-)

[hedgehog]

23. We should all look so good in extreme closeup.

[SmokingJacket]

29. Hell of a lot better than I look.

I can't stand the sight of the woman, but her face has held up well.

[Abacus]

15. I wasn't aware that Josephine six-pack was so image concious

[LiberalAndProud]

[riqster]

20. Well, Reeps like to have everything covered up, right?

This perfectly in character.

[Bucky]

25. The zoom in is so tight, you can see a booger in her nose. A booger shaped like Jesus

It's a miracle. They should be grateful.

[arewenotdemo]

32. Booger-Jesus returns TX to safe GOP.

[Ozma]

30. They didn't make Sarah look like a Queen or a Goddess. She..

looks too f*ing plain and normally HUMAN!!!!!!!

[bkinsd]

31. Apparently, they think the photo makes her look like Yoda
