Forgeries can be a real drag!
Speaking of humor, someone just sent me a collection of extreme makeover pictures, and I think they're downright disrespectful. Not only that, I suspect that there is a distinct possibility that they may have been forged. Not that I'm an expert, you know, but I have seen things like this done before, and their authenticity strikes me as highly questionable! Well, the blogosphere is a democracy, so YOU BE THE JUDGE!
I ought to be ashamed for posting them, and, well, I am ashamed! Especially if they turn out to be forgeries! Under the circumstances, I think I should take this opportunity to apologize in advance. Nothing should be taken the wrong way or blown out of proportion until we have the facts. UPDATE: Wow, an InstaLanche from Glenn Reynolds! I sure am glad that I apologized in advance, because I now stand accused of employing the standards of CBS! I guess that means I'm more than Rather ashamed. Ouch!™© And a big welcome to all InstaPundit readers. ONE LAST THING: I recently wrote a couple of posts about the negativity in the blogosphere, and I posted the above pictures while still in a bit of a funk, and not knowing what if anything I could do about it. (Humor seems the only option right now.....) Anyway, Glenn Reynolds is a hell of a good guy, and of all people he does not deserve the kind of ad hominem attacks which seem to be metastasizing in the blogosphere these days. Once more, thanks to him and to you all. Get well soon, Glenn! posted by Eric on 09.10.04 at 10:20 AM

Now I see why they tied the pork chop around Kerry's neck to get the dog to play with him. Jazzbo · September 10, 2004 01:13 PM Is it just me, or is that third one kind of cute? Don Watkins · September 10, 2004 01:31 PM Shhhh! Eric Scheie · September 10, 2004 01:37 PM Hey, that fourth one is no forgery. It's just Cheney after he joined Hair Club for Men! mike the analyst · September 10, 2004 01:39 PM My eyes! OH MY GOD, MY EYES!! RebeccaH · September 10, 2004 01:42 PM "Is it just me, or is that third one kind of cute?" It's just you. :) jpg · September 10, 2004 01:56 PM Well, individuals "who worked closely back in the early 1970s with [them] and were well acquainted with [their] procedures, [their] character and [their] thinking," believe these photoa are authentic. So they must be. John · September 10, 2004 02:19 PM That one of Edwards doesn't look a bit like the Breck Girl. Jerry · September 10, 2004 03:02 PM I don't see how anyone could say with 100% certainty that they * are * forgeries. /MSM-spin Flea · September 10, 2004 03:06 PM Judging from the unsightly goiter protruding over the collar of his powersuit, President Bush must suffer from a terrible iodine deficiency. Also, someone should tell Ms. Kerry that the wax she's using to remove her facial whiskers is NOT working for her. As a final note, it's a pity that these lovely "forgeries" have come to light only now in the twilight of www.amihotornot.com's popularity, for that website would have been the perfect venue for these beauties. Aaron · September 10, 2004 03:08 PM I have been traumatized for life. I shall send you the therapists' bills. Meryl Yourish · September 10, 2004 03:21 PM Dateline NY: CBS Exposes Manchurian Candidates Photographs released by CBS today have uncovered a plot by the National Organization for Women to seize control of the executive branch of government. According to CBS spokesman Dan Rather attested to these as being fully vetted and authentic. Said Rather, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Trust me. These candidates are women. I know women." Glen · September 10, 2004 03:23 PM They look even worse than I look! Get rid of them! Steven Malcolm Anderson (Cato the Elder) the Lesbian-worshipping gun-loving selfish aesthete · September 10, 2004 03:23 PM Bow chicka bowmp bow Uncle Mikey · September 10, 2004 03:56 PM The therapists' bills are accumulating... Justin asked why Ralph Nader was left out, and I'm starting to feel a bit queasy at the thought of THAT. Steven, surely you're not saying --- oh never mind! Eric Scheie · September 10, 2004 04:27 PM Even if these photos are forgeries, it doesnt change the fact of the underlying truth that these guys are all crossdressers. -CBS Mick · September 10, 2004 04:47 PM You know, Kerry and Bush are frightening, and Edwards is just disturbing. But Dick Cheney doesn't look any worse than he normally does. Steven Jens · September 10, 2004 05:20 PM I second Steven's point. Compared to the others, who look as though some terrible mishap occurred during the segregation of their sex chromosomes, Mr/Ms. Cheney looks almost, well, matronly. Like some stout, prairie farm wife who has let herself go in a few unfortunate places. I hasten to add that the operative part of the claim is 'compared to the others.' Aaron · September 10, 2004 06:40 PM I went to a drag party in 1973 and this is exactly how these men looked. I am concerned that the John Edwards picture has been slightly airbrushed. He had a slight facial hair problem at the time. Ug Lee · September 12, 2004 08:33 PM |
