Oh, those wacky wingnuts!! When will they learn? Drudge screws them AGAIN!!
Drudge-Flacked Story In Newspaper Reverses Hillary Photos To Make It Look Like She Had "Work" Done
By Greg Sargent | bio

Okay, this is a little thing, but it's pretty fun. Really, the wingers just never stop providing us with amusing material -- and we're going to spend just a little time on this one, because we can't help ourselves.

Matt Drudge is pushing a story today from the Boston Herald that tries to suggest that Hillary Clinton has had some "work" done on her face. The paper's story has "before and after" photos on line that purport to demonstrate this, with the "before" photo showing the skin on Hillary's face to be somewhat less than smooth, and the "after" photo showing her to be smooth-faced.


There's a small problem, though. It turns out that the "before" photo was actually taken after the after one, meaning that her smooth-faced look preceeded her less-smooth-faced look. The visuals are after the jump.

Here's how the photos are presented in the Herald:



And here's how those photos were presented on Drudge, above a link to the story:



Unfortunately, though, that photo on the left -- the "before" one -- is awfully similar to this picture taken yesterday, in other words, on Monday:

2. Its a good thing for drudge and his kind
that they don't have to worry about accuracy. Their lemmings don't care about silly facts and stuff. A woman gets a face lift, oh my fucking God (if that actually is what happened here.) A man lies and hundreds of thousands die, no big deal.

3. i remember when The Herald was actually a newspaper, it was always conservative
but it wasn't the trash it is now.

5. Let's just assume this is true...
Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 12:54 PM by originalpckelly
why would that be something to worry about? Why would we even care about that, other than gossip?

:shrug:

TV lighting is meant to flatter you and make you look good. They are SOOOO desperate.

7. Different lighting too. One had "fill" lighting, the other one
did not.

9. Lighting is everything, and the camera always lies.
Just ask your neighborhood movie star.

30. I think she has allergies.
When my allergies are acting up, my face appears much more puffy and tired-looking than when they're not.

I'm only 37, though, and I don't look as tired as she did that night, but you know what I mean.

11. Oh, for God sake! Doesn't Drudge know about lighting and makeup?
Hmmmm, maybe he doesn't. I've seen HIS face on TV. In his case, the makeup artist had the day off!

12. Why would her having plastic surgery be an issue anyway? WHO GIVES A SHIT?
I'm glad he's been caught in another lie. Each one lowers his credibility....for people with brains, that is.:)

26. Any word on where Drudge got the "after" pic?
I tried a google image search and couldn't find one similar to it ... looks like it's from a convention appearance (interview). 2000? 1996?

29. from the link:
And the one on the right looks awfully similar to this picture taken on Sunday at the debate:



By our reckoning, Monday comes after Sunday, not before. We don't have any idea whether Hillary has had any work done, and we don't care. Still, this is just hilariously lame, if you ask us.
