Here's Reuters:









Here's what Drudge gives us:

1. Did Drudge try to make it look like Kerry is wearing too much makeup?

I mean, one does one when goes on TV, but I see a big difference between these photos. One suspects some sort of alteration.

4. Plus Drudge's Kerry is effeminate, distainful, upper-crust,

Frenchified, etc., etc.

11. Neither picture flatters Dubya

[girl gone mad]

2. He's photoshoping again.

Desperation.

3. Straight-up Photoshopping

Shameless. Is Drudge really Gay? I heard that today.

[WilliamPitt]

I don't think so

Someone here posted that pic last night. If it is a photoshop, Drudge didn't do it.

Here's the original thread where I first saw it:

7. Principle's unaltered. Drudge picked this of all available.

In fact, his shot is _less_ available, so he had to go out of his way to be malicious. Of course, it's in his nature.

[Touchdown]

6. Yes. He tried to pick up David Brock.

It's all in Blinded by the Right.

5. drudge sees potential with a lipstick meme

[Kimber Scott]

8. He might have the lipstick on Kerry, but Bush looks like the bitch.

Good job, Drudge!

9. I was about to say... nt

10. When on TV, makeup is always heavily applied

If you've ever seen, say, a live newscast, the makeup often looks ridiculous. This is done to deflect glare, and to capture the proper camera image.

I think Bush's people really screwed up when they painted his face a ridiculous orange. Ironic since they ridiculed Kerry for it earlier this week.

If you noticed on TV, Kerry looked pretty decent. Bush looked like a cross between a chimp, Alfred E. Neuman, an oompa loompa, and a little kid. Drudge must have gotten orders to spin his ass off like a top.

12. Drudge is so Gay

no, really, he's Gay and obviously quite enormored with one or both with a love not spoken
