It is from Time Magazine under a headline about Dems find religion or something like that, but the picture is very cool...

1. It kinda creeps me out
And I don't think its the religion angle. I dunno, its like they bled the life from their eyes or something. Eh... thats the cool thing of being a human though. We all get our own opinions.

3. I was thinking there was something very PTL Club about it

It looks like one of the tchotchkes they used to sell on TV all the time. :P

The colors are cool, though.

10. Yeah, me too. Enshrining politicians in churchly stained glass
completely creeps me out.

Plus, the implication that they "found" religion is profoundly insulting. From what I know about them, they never lost it in the first place.

2. It's a nice airbrushy type picture but they could have at least added a few
wrinkles on Edwards. They did it for Hillary.

5. Three gifted, intelligent, caring human beings.
Ambitious, too, all three of them. The Bush mess will eat their lives and they know it, but they still want to tackle it.

God bless them and keep them safe.

11. I feel for them
and frankly don't know why they want to tackle the Bush fiasco. It will destroy each of them, unless the RW machine is dismantled, and it won't be in time. I pray for their families-they don't deserve it.

33. Amen, two.
I worry so about their safety now and after the election. Why are democrats so more beautiful than pugs? I believe it's their good hearts.

9. The Three Wise People
Kitschy but it's this type of subconscious penetration that we need.

12. I think it's horrible.
I'm sick of these political figures morphing themselves into religious figures.

Also, the Christian right is crumbling apart right now. The last thing we need is to reform the fundamentalists as a voting block.

18. Just relax and let the hooks do their work
That may be the most creep-tastic image I've seen outside of the Mutter Museum.

19. I hate that picture.
It looks like a National Lampoon parody. And the step-and-repeat hands are just plane bad. Here is good portrait of Obama for you...I haven't done one of Hillary or John yet...

30. But, the graphic artist may have been expressing his/her...
own interpretation of the article. It's a political cartoon of sorts.

34. I don't think people are claiming its slander or anything
Just that it either creeps them out (me) or that they like it a lot (the OP).

29. Context people--and next time post a link, please?
Note the faint mocking tone in the article--and when's the last time Time did the same to the latter-day Phraisees in charge of the country now?

Here's your link--it isn't what it appears:

31. I have the impression Nimrod likes the picture on its own
without the context, so a link isn't necessary. But thanks for the context link anyway.

35. It enrages me. The repugs are the ones who are at long last finding the TRUTH.
I am a fan of separation of church and stake . . . hmmm. Freudian typo there; I'm leaving it.
