"Why can't they just photograph conservatives straight?!" blasted this week's TIME magazine covergirl Ann Coulter.
The bestselling author and controversialist slammed magazine editors for fronting a photo of her, she claims, which is so distorted "my own mother would not even recognize me!"
The photographer, Platon, appears to have used a wide "Fisheye" lense for the cover snap, stretching Coulter's legs and feet -- while shrinking the rest of her body.

Alice is what I thought of first, as well (although more the American McGee version). Personally, I think it's a pretty cool picture - I rarely look at Time, so whether or not I thought this was meant to be an insult would depend on whether or not the magazine typically uses unusual photography on the cover...
The hetero-pig part of me says, I like that she is on a cover of a magazine, but I wish it was a different magazine.
Something in bunny ears.
Bad, bad man. Get back in the 90's!
"Ann, Ann, Ann. You should know better than to ever trust liberals. I knew when I saw the cover that it was done on purpose to make her look bad."
Maybe she anticipated the same thing. and now her trap is sprung.
At least she got her pic on the cover of Time Magazine....pointy shoes and all!
Has anyone read the article about her in the magazine? I assume it's one of their nastier hit pieces. If they go to that much trouble to make her cover photo so unflattering, I can only imagine what the article says about her.
The infamous Clinton "S*ck It!" cover.
Ann, you look FINE! Relax, doll!
We always referred to them as “kill the roach in the corner” shoes. I know they’re all the rage nowadays, but are the ugliest shoes ever created, IMO.
This photographer is either 2 1/2 feet tall, or is fixated on the congruence of legs and body trunk in his subjects.
And those pointy toed shoes will definitely give her an edge.
I never understood the pointy toe thing.....I think they look witch shoes....
I love Ann, but those shoes have got to go. Looks like they were designed for the specific purpose of dispatching roaches that have scurried into a tight corner.
Annie, no matter how hard they try, they just can't make you look anything except lovely.
I'm proud of you, Miss Ann! (And my daughter's name is Anne, and she's way conservative, and I have always enjoyed your terrific wit, it really terrifies the liberals.)
Yeah, they are awful! Fortunately, my girlfriend (a woman with obviously impeccable taste, in all areas :-) can't stand them either.
I just always imagine an irate woman letting fly on her boyfriend/husband/obnoxious-would be-suitor/assailant with one of those things - especially the ones with actual metal tips - and ripping a guy's spleen wide open! Not that I have the slightest idea where the spleen is actually located, or what on earth it does.
Reminds me of that nasty Lily Tomlin character, sitting in her oversized rocking-chair on Laugh-In. (Sure dates me, dosn't it.)
