Shame on Reuters. Very subjective and superficial reporting on their part.
Shame. Shame. Shame.

7. perfectly coiffed? I call bullshit. Her hair only looks good when it is up;
stringy when it is down. I do like the blue suit though; it is a good color for her and is actually a style I would try on.

10. Elegant clothes Meh. This outfit isn't as bad as her golden alien space jacket
at the convention, but doesn't qualify as "elegant" by a long shot. The skirt looks a bit tight too.

Besides, who says the first lady should look a certain way. FUCK YOU Reuters sexists!

11. Reuters "reporting" is just as bad as the A/P these days
The GOP tank keeps getting bigger and bigger, but it's still bone-dry.

15. damn! they don't even try to hide their preferences!
Well, I think Michelle doesn't just LOOK the part, she has the brains and grace to go with the position as well. And she doesn't look like a plastic Barbie doll.

18. blond
"Blond" is what "looks the part" is about. That caption is racist in my opinion. "Looks" the part? "Blond?"

21. BRIAN SNYDER at Reuters loves Miss Cindy I guess.
Has Brian Snyder written other complimentary things about Miss Cindy?

24. Check out this image on his Reuters' blog and what he says about it..
although it's definitely in barf-alert territory:

My favorite image from today is this clean, simple picture of Senator McCain winking to an audience member. This connection between the candidate and the people there to see him seems genuine. Those few moments like this must be one of the rewards of running for president.



http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/author/briansnyder/

While I don't know if the photog writes the captions at Reuters (I don't think they do at AP), he seems kind of sweet on them!


He appears to be a Boston based sports photographer much of the time but is now riding on the McCain bus:

28. Ahhh, yes..perfect
She can teach our daughters the following: How to be anorexic; how to let an abusive nutcase live off you to fulfill his ambitions; how to stand around like another plastic repuke wife; how to make sure no one suspects you have any brains; how to not have any brains; how to achieve nothing but "inherit"; and how to stand there and seeth that after you spent about $700,000 on clothes, your husand picks the young chick!!! Yup...just the gal I want to see in the White House. How refreshing to have girls see a real, live, vibrant person like Michelle!!!!

36. Even the Russian Pravda doesn't try to lay bullshit like this on people anymore..
sounds like an encyclopedia blurb from the 1950's, next come the Flying Saucers that Ate McSame's Brain while Breeding a Zombie Nazi Army on Mars...

Who Dresses the guy who writes ImPropaganda like this? :)

BoneWoman looks like a dried out stalk of corn & Husk that something bright blew up against and stuck to it out in an Illinois field, between that Look and McCaine's Turkey Neck they're all freeze/blow-dried and ready to grace a Thanksgiving Day table - minus the goddamned Indians of course, have to keep the Rabbie Out.. :)
