Interesting Pic of Obama & McCain on WSJ Weekend Cover
I was out and around today and saw the cover of the WSJ Weekend Edition at the newstand. There is a pic of Obama and McCain, positioned face-to-face.

What's shocking is how awful they made McCain look. Every last problem he has with his face is accentuated, where the picture of Obama looks smooth, young, and like he's in control.

McCain looks old and worn out. His face looks distorted. Of course, we know that is the case but I'm so used to the media's Republican bias (and in particular, the WSJ), that I was truly shocked to see this picture.

I looked for it online but couldn't find it. Here's today's page--unfortunately if you want to see the pic, you'll have to watch for it tomorrow in the print version.

I don't know what to make of this? Anybody?

1. I noticed a current gramps ad has the scarred side of his face in shadow.
He can't help his scars, but he IS old and worn out. It's not going to get better for him.

3. Cameras Don't Lie But Photoshop Does

Well, McCain is pretty ancient and beat looking (that combover and the paleness is killing me - looked the phantom of the opera) and Obama is just a vibrant, mature, handsome man. Not that looks mean anything, but McCain looks embalmed.
