In deciding which Sunday talk shows to focus on, I typically tap into Politico's Sunday talk show tip sheet, which provides a helpful round-up of the Sunday line-up.

Scrolling there today, I came upon the photo you see here. Of all the innumerable images of the three men, these are the pictures Politico chose to announce the appearance of Joe Lieberman, Rush Limbaugh and David Plouffe on Face the Nation, Fox News Sunday and Meet the Press, respectively.

You don't think Politico's pic picks might be revealing its biases, do you? Let's break it down . . .

Politico’s biased pic picks ping to Today show list.

And David Plouffe, architect of Barack Obama's winning campaign? Well, he's shown with a winsome smile that would make women want to hug him and men have him out for a beer.

Well, with a name like Plouffe, would I want to "have him out for a beer"? Maybe this is like that, "With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good..."

they need to show the pic of rush smoking the cigar

[Past Your Eyes]

I thought that was the sound of a turd hitting a pillow.

[saganite]

“have him out for a beer”?

You know, one could read that statement a different way. As in, the price of having him out is a beer. Just sayin’.

Politico is a Leftist propaganda site. Why anyone takes them seriously is beyond me.

Hugh and series BUMP!

[Always Right]

Rush’s pic looks like the Al Gore pic with fire coming out of his mouth

[rodguy911]

There is only one show and one guest worth watching today and he's the leader of the conservative world: Rush.

[incredulous joe]

That’s politico. No real surprise.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

There’s a contact form at the site where you can E-mail the “author” of this piece.

BTW, she’s from Chicago. Go figure.

I notice many media outlets are still using the fatest pic they have of Rush.
Rush has lost alot of weight.

[4rcane]

has rush ever shared with us, his weight losing secret. I constantly hear about how he trashed other weight lost programs and how his method dont require any exercise. His method work because he gained weight and lost weight many times

[USS Alaska]

It doesn't matter which pix the lefties use.

Which network will have the highest ratings this Sunday morning?

hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.

[MaxMax]

Rush actually said other diets work but he didn't like them. I believe his
method is to keep something in the belly at all times including snacks.
Eating foods that burn calories and a varied diet. I use the same method
and it works without the pain of an actual diet consisting of starvation or exercise.

It's based on keeping the inner fire burning at all times.

[4rcane]

what food burn calories?

[FrdmLvr]

From a woman’s perspective, I think Rush looks commanding and self-assured while the wimp on the right looks like a pansy and a pencil-necked geek. I wouldn’t go to a worm wrestle with him let alone have a beer with him, besides, my husband would kill me.

[MaxMax]

I couldn't possibly list tham all. Google "foods that burn calories" and you should
find entire lists.
