Washington Times doctors photo of Obama nominee to put her in turban

[RamboLiberal]

The Washington Times doesn't earn rave reviews from anyone on the left.

But their latest decision to put Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan in a turban beside an editorial claiming she was a big Islam supporter has taken even the Times most vehement critics off guard.

The photograph isn't real: it was doctored to put a turban on Kagan's head. The photo and the accompanying editorial were first noted by the liberal blog ThinkProgress on Wednesday.

"In a Washington Times op-ed run alongside a doctored photo of Kagan in a turban (pictured to the right), ropes Kagan into a bizarre fantasy involving Shariah law, the Muslim Brotherhood, and, somehow, the beleaguered Troubled Assets Relief Progam," blogger Ian Millhiser writes.

1. Um, women don't wear turbans.

That's just plain odd and looks entirely bizarre. What are they on over there at the Washington Times?

3. Baby's breath and a mesh veil...

It would be absolutely stylish.

"So?" Where's it written that freedom of press doesn't include the freedom to lie when it suits your purpose? Gee whiz, everything's gotta have rules, rules, rules with you libruls!
