Calling Dr. Freud

John Roberts interviewing Paul Begala on CNN just now slipped and said “we” when asking how Democrats should respond to Republican attacks.

The Atlantic Monthly Magazine has a photographer named Jill Greenberg. Greenberg BRAGGED ON HER BLOG (which portion she has now taken down) of how she used photographic tricks to make McCain look as awful as possible. Here is the story in the New York Post. Her blog, aptly named is called the Manipulator.

Excerpts:

Controversial celebrity photographer Jill Greenberg, a self-professed “hard-core Dem,” deliberately took a series of unflattering shots of Republican nominee John McCain for the current cover of The Atlantic – and then bragged about it on a blog.

“I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad,” she boasted.

Greenberg also crowed that she had tricked McCain into standing over a strobe light placed on the floor – turning the septuagenarian’s face into a horror show of shadows.

Asking McCain to “please come over here” for a final shot, Greenberg pretended to be using a standard modeling light.

The resulting photos depict McCain as devilish, with bulging brows and washed-out skin.

“He had no idea he was being lit from below,” Greenberg said, adding that none of his entourage picked up on the light switch either. “I guess they’re not very sophisticated,” she said.

UPDATE: Special thanks to the Instapundit, Dr. Glen Reynolds for a heads up on THIS video, in which Andrew Brietbart explains how the democratic machine and the elite media are one in the same. Dr. Reynolds also warns us HERE and HERE to always bring your own video camera to any interview. The press is not your friend and cannot be trusted he argues. Click the link and learn.

UPDATE II: Holy smokes has Michelle Malkin got the goods on Jill Greenberg. I know she is bad but this women is truly psychotic as the evidence shows.
