I don’t know. The Fox feed we have in Australia is identical to the US, but we get CNN International, which I can only assume is quite different to the US version
Palin is trying to capture some of the youth (male) vote for the McCain/ Palin ticket.
that guy in the red sweat shirt can almost see Russia
The international news shows on CNN are actually considerably better than the American ones. If I'm not mistaken, they're run out of London, and are pretty good. Unfortunately in Canada we get the US version only.
I agree there's nothing intrinsically nasty about a closeup, and you're right, Obama's complexion looks just as realistically middle-aged-imperfect in that profile photo you linked to. It does seem to me though like that cut-in-half effect (on the new Palin cover) may be at least partially intended to suggest the impression of a sneer.Give me a freaking break. She claims they portrayed Obama on the cover in all his shining glory. But look! He looks good and real here - wrinkles and pockmarks and the whole shebang.

Now, tell me - are any of you just reeling in horror of the shocking discovery that Sarah Palin ... has pores??? I mean, honestly. She looks fine and there is nothing wrong with that picture.

Trooper-Gate Report Finds Palin Abused Power in Firing Monegan
By Zachary Roth - October 10, 2008, 8:42PM
The just-released Trooper-Gate report finds that Sarah Palin abused her power in the firing of Walt Monegan, by violating an Alaska law holding that "each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."
It also finds that Monegan's "refusal to fire Trooper Mike Wooten" -- who was embroiled in a family dispute with the Palins -- "was not the sole reason [Monegan] by Governor Sarah Paln" but "it was likely a contributing factor". Still, the firing was a proper exercise of Palin's authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.
In addition, the report found that the office of Attorney General Talis Colberg failed to substantially comply with the legislature's written request for information about the case in the form of emails.
