Hardball's Haggard Hillary Promo Pic
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/27/2008 3:57:52 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If NewsBusters were ever to use in its promotional material a photo this unflattering of Hillary Clinton, we'd be accused of the worst kind of sexism, of unfairly attacking a candidate based on her looks rather than her views. Check out the image of Hillary that MSNBC used in its promo of tonight's Hardball with Chris Matthews that aired at 5:59 AM EDT today just before Morning Joe came on the air.

Hillary in full wattle, lit like something in a horror flick about to emerge from a closet wielding an ax. If there's a less-becoming snap of Hillary in MSM circulation, I haven't seen it.

View video of promo, and Carlson's comments, here.

Anyone seen her on TV drinking. I can’t believe they called Bush a drunk. When she looks at a drink cross eyed, it never fails: this woman typifies the lusting drunk.

Maybe someone has a picture or two handy of her going cross eyed on her drink. You never look at your drink, you look at people.

From MSNBC Hardball with Chris Mathews (transcript)
March. 21, 2006:

TAYLOR(spokesman for freerepublic.com): We have kids that wear Che Guevara shirts here in the United States.

MATTHEWS: Yes, but they're kind of cute at this point, aren't they? They're not about somebody out to get us now. I think there's a difference. I mean, that's kind of camp almost, isn't it?...is Che Guevara the symbol of hate in the United States anymore?

TAYLOR: Yes.

MATTHEWS: I don't think so. I mean, a lot of our kids wear them. I see kids wearing them all the time, even my kids wear them. It's like a Robert Marley T-shirt at this point.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11943459/

_____________________________________________________

If Mathews thinks the shirts are "cute", I'm sure THIS will send a "thrill up his leg"!...(assuming he can squeeze into them)

Panty-minimalists love our casual thong that covers sweet spots without covering your assets; putting an end to panty-lines. This under-goodie is "outta sight" in low-rise pants. Toss these message panties onstage at your favorite rock star or share a surprise message with someone special ... later.

Matthews: Obama Speech Caused 'Thrill Going Up My Leg'

"During MSNBC's live coverage of Tuesday's presidential primary elections, after the speeches of Barack Obama and John McCain had aired, Chris Matthews expressed his latest over the top admiration for Obama's speaking skills as the MSNBC anchor admitted that Obama's speech created a 'thrill' in his leg"

Regardless of which pic they show of Hillary, she has an ugly personality, and nothing will change that.

Boy, that is a very bad picture of Hillary. Definitely used deliberately.

Remember, Matthews is in bed with Obama.

The picture also appears to have been deliberately doctored. That's lower than low, whatever you happen to think of the Hildabeast personally and/or politically.

Right.

How Hillary! looks has NOTHING to do with whether I’ll vote for her or not. Nor should it have anything to do with why anybody does or doesn’t.

I know you mean this in a figurative way, but I'll just bet Sissy Matthews wishes it were true.

Exactly. Golda Meir wasn’t exactly a pin-up girl, and frankly I’m not familiar with all her policies [she was a member of the left-wing Labor party], but she was a woman of character and integrity and I would vote for someone like her in a heartbeat [assuming I agreed with her views] regardless of looks.

Yeah, but the smell was a combination of snuff and whiskey. And she had that bright red lipstick that she smeared all over our faces.

But that isn't how she really looks. The picture seems to have been somehow tampered with. That's the kind of slimey thing the leftist media does with Bush and other republicans.

Since you are a newbie, let me tell you I have seen worse pictures of Hillary on this site. Many were doctored and nasty. So brace yourself.

There are real-life, undoctored photos of Hillary looking like a frog or a wide-mouthed bass. imo, her face is okay but she loses control and makes crazy faces over and over again. Her idiotic grin is creepy.

The is hilarious. The MSM are trying to push the Clintons out and they are claiming some Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. It couldn't get any better (unless Fred Thompson was our candidate. *sigh*).

Yeah, but everyone knows many of the pics posted here are manufactored and meant to be funny. Mathews uses his on what is ‘supposed to be’ (har har) a serious, unbiased news program.

Gads, no man running for office ever has his looks dissected as much as a woman does in any public forum. I’m no fan of her but I’m so sick of hearing about wrinkles, cankles, pantsuits etc. Some of the ugliest men were Presidents. Look at Abraham Lincoln. Only in America would people focus this much attention on stuff like this. No wonder we’re regarded as shallow.

Maybe so, but do you disagree that MSNBC’s choice of this pic reflected anti-Hillary bias?

Only if he 'flashed' the thong to entice Obama...

From "Social impact of the thong", from wikipedia:
One of the biggest thong controversies surfaced in November 1995, when a thong flash by Monica Lewinsky played a pivotal role in her seduction of U.S. President Bill Clinton in what would become the Lewinsky scandal.[6] According to feminist commentator Carrie Lukas, Lewinsky "with her thong-snapping seduction, forever changed the image of the D.C. junior staffer from aspiring policy wonk to sexual temptress."[7]

That picture of Hillary is not relatively bad. The really bad pictures are where she makes her bug-eyed crazy faces. Nothing wrong with showing wrinkles. In view of how photos can turn out, the photo may or may not be doctored. The media's up to now coverup of the Clinton's evil side is of far greater concern that whether or not a picture of her has been doctored. Nobody has asked her about Juanita!

On some days and from some angles hillary does look that bad. When you see her giving a speech all dressed up and with her special make up professionally applied, she doesn't look like that. But after a hard week, no sleep, without make up, yeah, hillary looks like that. And like someone said, looks don't matter, she is a socialist self serving b***h, I'll be glad when she loses.

Don’t expect anything more lofty than mediocrity from Chris Matthews, whose idea of greatness is John Kennedy.

Anyone can look terrible in photos depending on various factors. They obviously selected that one intentionally. Then again, it is nice, for a change, seeing democrats being treated like repubicans by the leftwing media.

I am so grateful to you, Mark, doing the work [sane] Americans won’t do .. like watching MSNBC.

This type graphic/photo presentation is precisely what the MSM did undetected to Republians/Conservatives only before Newsbusters and the internet came along. They still do it, but you are there to publicize it.

And, now they are doing it to one of their (formerly) own. If he doesn’t watch it, Matthews may lose all both of his women viewers :)

I don’t even think that is a pix of Hillary. Doesn’t look like her nose at all. Where are the bags under the eyes? Hillary has them with the best make-up job on her best day, plus above her eyes and below the eyebrows is puffier than this. The eyeballs don’t look like the right color either, even with the blue contacts.

You would think that someone would have advised her about making those exaggerated facial expressions. But then again, maybe they did.

Wow. If it was anybody but Hillary, I would say that’s cruel.
Of course, Matthews says B. Hussein Obama sends tingles up his loin, so naturally he’s going to try to bury Clinton.
