"The altered image more accurately portrays reality than the unaltered actual photo.”
Posted on 01/04/2013 6:13:49 PM PST by John Semmens
A photo of the 61 female members of Congress including the photo-shopped images of four absentees was defended by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) who says that the altered image “more accurately portrayed reality than the unaltered actual photo.”
“Sometimes what you see isn't as true as what you should see,” Pelosi explained. “Since we now have the technology to seamlessly correct the official record it would be foolish for us not to use it.”
The Minority Leader brushed aside criticisms that altering official history in this manner recalls a practice used by the former Soviet Union. “Just because the Soviet Union was disliked by many on the American right-wing doesn't mean that everything they did was a bad idea,” she said. “There could be very good reasons for erasing or inserting certain persons in official photos. With everything being digital these days modifying the record is simplicity itself.”
In related news, Pelosi asserted that “one of the biggest problems we have in Congress is that many of those in the Republican Caucus don't believe in government. I'm not saying that they don't believe that government exists. They just lack confidence that government is willing and able to provide optimal solutions to society's problems. They persist in the delusion that leaving individuals free to make their own choices is better than letting government with its virtually inexhaustible power and expertise decide what's best for the whole.”

that “technology to seemlessly correct the official record” was, it seems, only in an early developmental stage when O released his so-called “birth certificate” -— ?

I think this time you accidentally left out the satire part. :-)
"The altered image more accurately portrays reality than the unaltered actual photo.”
Removing the moustaches, hairy legs and hairy armpits does help improve the picture a little. However, it does lose the bag lady reunion effect.
Thanks for the ping John.
In-effing believable...
Yeah, maybe we should see:
Obozo’s BC
How Osama bought it and the at-sea burial
How Biden got so damn rich to live in a “compound”
Obozocare hidden taxes
Obozo’s college transcripts and loan apps
Need I continue???
How do these people get away with this?
I don't believe there is one thing close to reality about this person.
Photoshop. It’s like botox for pictures.
Leviticus 19:11
You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
Colossians 3:9
Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices,
Well done.
Humblegunner,
Wish you’d add these Satire posts to your list of FR posts that piss you off...
It sure would be great if “(Satire)” would be added to subject line, much like our standard of having (Vanity) in the subject line. I’ll see a subject of interest, click on it, wait... wait for it to load..., then start reading the post until I realize it’s satire. The keyword tags are so small and are intended for the search function.
Piglosi’s a “target rich environment”, ain’t she John? ;-)
Can someone with computer skills please photoshop in the brooms?
Image #1 (below) is of Nikolai Yezhov (right) with Josef Stalin. 
Image #2 (below) is the same image, retouched by Soviet technicians, after Yezhov had been executed. 
This practice was common, during Stalins' reign.
That Nancy Pelosi see nothing wrong with similar manipulation of official photos, speaks volumes about her, and her party.
At first I was like, “Well, they are actual members that were just late or unavailable so they were photoshopped in later so that the representation is accurate.” But then, I was like, “Why do the dems not care if everything is fake and inaccurate in every other area of life, but this has to be photoshopped??” It’s because they are such manipulative pieces of cr@p.
lLiberals lie. And then lie some more.
