Interesting. On Sept 17, my newspaper had its pick of two Bolton pictures

from the AP

This one:


Or this one:


My newspaper has been accused of being liberal. Based on the photo they picked for their front page, I would tend to agree.

Guess which one they went with.

I've only noticed this lately, re: their choice of photos. They couldn't have picked a worse one of Roberts as well. Close up on the lipless wonder, it was.

I'm vaguely pleased somehow.

1. The bottom photo!

Let me know if I'm right! DC

2. Yep. That's the one. Isn't it hideous?

It accompanied an article, I assume from the AP, saying that the fear that Bolton would be disruptive had been largely unfounded, a weird assertion considering what he's trying to do to the UN reforms. Negotiations are in chaos, and yet Bolton ain't such a bad guy after all. Isn't that nice?

So next to this happy little article about Bolton, someone on the staff of the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel puts picture number two next to it, somewhat negating our happy little story.

3. It's a no-win situation

In both he looks like a circus character.

4. Well yeah, but at least he's smiling in the first

but I agree. No matter what, he looks like what would happen if Captain Kangaroo and Hitler had a baby.

5. "Who farted?"

Oh, it was me....

6. Taken in reverse order

that would be about it.

Scowl "farted"
smile "it was me"

7. Fantastic!

I personally liked this one by Steve Bell..
