Where’s Hillary? Hasidic paper breaks the rules by editing (too sexy) Clinton out of photo
Yahoo ^

Posted on 05/09/2011 12:28:01 PM PDT by dead

Hillary Clinton's expression, right hand clasped over her mouth in astonishment, is largely responsible for making the above photo iconic--and, to at least one newspaper, sexually suggestive...

< snip >

Turns out she was probably just coughing during that crucial moment captured by White House photographer Pete Souza. But nevertheless, the image still proved a bit too racy for at least one of the many newspapers that printed it.

That would be the Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic broadsheet Der Tzitung. The paper photoshopped Clinton, as well as the only other woman who could be seen in the room--Audrey Tomason, the national director of counterterrorism--out of the frame.

"Apparently the presence of a woman, any woman, being all womanly and sexy all over the United States' counterterrorism efforts was too much for the editors of Der Tzitung to handle," noted the prominent women's blog Jezebel.

Indeed, "The Hasidic newspaper will not intentionally include any images of women in the paper because it could be considered sexually suggestive," Rabbi Jason Miller explains in The Jewish Week.

I guess when they say they find any woman too sexy, they mean "ANY" woman.

Also, please not the following rules!

Beyond that, Der Tzitung's editors apparently missed or blatantly ignored the guidelines stipulated on the official White House Flickr page, where the photo was released for use by news organizations: "The photograph may not be manipulated in any way."

That is the first time “hillary clinton” and “sexy” have been used in the same document (much less sentence).

I think it's more likely they didn't want to admit that a woman played a major role in OBL's death.

How can that 20-something year old woman be the “National Director for Counterterrorism” of the United States government? I thought the Clinton administration was bad about letting recent college grads get promoted way beyond their experience level. Can anyone here imagine that she is the country’s #1 expert on that subject?!!

Why aren't images of men considered sexually suggestive? Or is it OK in the Hasidic tradition for women to get turned on, just not men?

Too sexy? I figured her thighs were as big as country hams and they couldn’t show pork—especially if it weren’t Kosher.

Would be nice if we could just photoshop Hitlery out of our government and put her photoshop her into prison jammies for her numerous felonies committed while in our White House.

But suggesting that any picture of her is "sexy" is very bizarre.
