What the next President of the United States is going to look like.

[William769]

[terrya]

1. What a nice picture!

[TheWatcher]

134. Dupe. Delete.

[Mira]

2. Stunning photo ! If she is the candidate this shot will make me vote for her

[Irreverend IX]

95. You'd vote for someone because they look good in one photo?

Congratulations, you're what's wrong with America.

[surfermaw]

132. We might if we saw a photo that wasn't touched up,

her cheek bones are higher than Hillary's are naturally and her teeth look as the are almost protuding. Good bit of touch up job don't you think.

[Drum]

3. great pic

:)

[NYVet]

4. Sorry, thanks for playing

Considering that polls show half the country hates her and that many people are tired of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton, I don't see her as anying other than former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

[William769]

Polls show that?

Thats funny, Polls have her as the front runner. Just because you say it doesn't make it true.

[terrya]

7. Even if the Republican candidate is Mike Huckabee?

I would like to think that this country won't go in that direction.

[maddiejoan]

8. Got news for ya

By the time the primary is over, half the country will "hate" any Democratic nominee. That's the way the media shapes it.

[Windy]

38. More than half would be opposed to Clinton....

[maddiejoan]

43. Does your Crystal Ball tell you this?

[onehandle]

5. Could be. nt

[CherokeeDem]

6. Incredible Photo

I don't support Hillary in this race but there is no denying that she is not only an extremely intelligent woman but also very attractive. This photo is stunning.

[William769]

10. Thanks for you post.

You don't have to support Hillary to see the attractiveness of the photo.

[Perry Logan]

9. Hubba hubba!

[Brother_1969]

11. and how she looks now

http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5806861,00.jpg

[William769]

13. How very sad of you. You have my pitty.

[dionysus]

25. delete, replied to wrong post

i'll actually agree with you on that one...

[truebrit71]

29. Why, reality not your favourite thing...or do you prefer airbrushed policies as well?

:eyes:

[ronnykmarshall]

39. Shitting on Hillary threads must be yours.

[cali]

40. aren't you the petty little whinger. How cute. n/t

[ClarkUSA]

96. True enough

:thumbsup:

[wyldwolf]

138. the king of fantasy land talks about reality?

:eyes:

[cali]

19. you know, I realize that picture is supposed to be awful

but I think she's still an attractive woman even exhausted and with her bags and wrinkles. She's 60 years old, for pete's sake.

[terrya]

22. I'm sure that even Brother_1969 doesn't look his best from time to time.

I think she's an attractive woman also. And she's aged wonderfully.

[MadAnne]

74. All of us over a certain age thank you. n/t

[donheld]

20. Thank you Rush Limbaugh!

:spank:

[Brother_1969]

31. You're right, maybe you like this one better

Lighten up, Hillary worshipers. I'm just messing with you.B-)

[cali]

46. Take your photo and your "lighten up" comment and shove

it back where you pulled it from. I'm not a Clinton supporter, but I detest the shit you're mucking about in.

[Frosty1]

65. Way to go cali

:applause:

[ClarkUSA]

97. He's not breaking any DU rules, is he?

What's the matter with untouched photographs? Maybe he should start his own thread of them? Then would it still be "shit"?

[superkia]

76. Back off mister! Dont ever try and take her off the pedestal...

that so many prop her up on, she can do no wrong and is perfect in every way. You are only allowed to talk about her in a positive light even if she voted for an illegal war with NO evidence and continued to feed Bushco more ammo to kill, when he asked for it. The Iran vote also is off limits and why we are at it, dont think of mentioning the patriot act or the bankruptcy bill to protect the credit card companies profits over protecting Americans in need. Are we clear? Leave her alone, the MSM and the elite have made their choice and damn it you need to respect THEIR president.

[ClarkUSA]

98. lol

Well done, superkia! That's quite a list of Clintonian shame you have there. Bookmarked for my next canvassing trip. Thanks.

27. OUCH!!!!

...:eek:

[redqueen]

47. Wow...

the OP really rolled out the red carpet for that one!

[ozone_man]

54. Reality bites.

Personally, I think it's best to stick to the issues that candidates represents, but the OP really asked for a dose of reality.

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

93. But that isn't the reality, it's a bad picture. Does she look so wrinkled on TV?

Did she look like that in the debates, did she look like that on CNN a few days ago? If the worst pictures ever taken of her, are supposed to be what she really looks like, she'd look like that all the time. She never does, she looks perfectly fine.

[ClarkUSA]

99. TV cameras use very effective filters that smooth out wrinkles & many news photos are airbrushed

Have you noticed that no one in the presidential campaign on either side looks wrinkled on stage or in the papers despite many of their um, senior
chronological ages?

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

101. Then what difference does her looks make?

Should she get the nomination, swing voters aren't going to refrain from voting for her because they dislike her appearance. She never looks like that on TV, and without bad lighting in the extreme highlighting every last one of her wrinkles, Hillary looks perfectly fine. Above average I'd say, Bill was quite the hunk when he was young and he wasn't going to settle for an unattractive woman.

[ClarkUSA]

105. I never said they made a difference; I was answering your question re: lack of wrinkles in debates

I could care less what she looks like but a little truth in advertising never hurt.

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

108. The truth is she looks fabulous with complimentary lighting n/t

[ClarkUSA]

109. Anyone would, I suppose - but the truth is, the OP photo was airbrushed bigtime.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

110. Another truth is everyone takes the occasional bad picture n/t

[ClarkUSA]

111. Sure -- but wrinkles have nothing to do with taking a bad picture.

I don't subscribe to ageism... some of the best photos I've ever seen have been of very wrinkled and worn Okies taken in the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression.

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

112. It's a bad picture with very bad lighting that overly highlights her wrinkles n/t

[ClarkUSA]

113. I don't think so. The photo in Reply 11 was taken outdoors during a recent weekend NH photo-op...

when she walked around knocking on doors with D'Alessandro. I recognize the outfit. Natural lighting is the very best kind for the skin because it's
true and diffused. Why do you keep saying it's a bad photo? Do you prefer airbrushed fantasy photos? I don't. I like to see the person as they truly
are.

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

114. Part of bad lighting has to do with the angle of the light on the subject

It is possible to have outdoor lighting coming from a number of different angles, so outdoor lighting isn't automatically good.

Why do you keep saying it's a bad photo?"

Because it is, and everyone takes uncomplimentary pictures in bad lighting.

Do you prefer airbrushed fantasy photos?"

No, all she needs is good lighting that doesn't exaggerate her wrinkles.

[ClarkUSA]

117. Um, I saw video and photos from that day and the sunlight was diffused and fine for photos

Like it or not, that's the way she really looks at 60. So plead bad lighting all you want, but it simply isn't true.

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

118. Um, everyone can see the photo for themselves and determine whether it's bad lighting

Which it is my opinion. Everyone takes bad pictures. When Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert were constantly battling it out for the top spot in women's tennis in the 80s, homophobic sports magazines editors had it out for Martina because she was openly gay. They constantly featured the most unattractive pictures imaginable of Martina, to make it look like the ugly dyke vs pretty girl-next-door Evert. I know the picture in this sub-thread isn't the one Drudge is featuring, but he is playing the same game those sports magazine editors played with Martina.

[mtnsnake]

122. Wake up. That photo, the one posted in post 11, is the photoshopped Drudge picture

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

123. self-delete

[Bluebear]

68. What a horrible person you must be.

[tblue37]

69. Well, at least she didn't get a supertight Laura Bush facelift.

Laura looks as though someone picked her up by her cheek skin and then stapled the excess to the top of her head.

Hillary is not my candidate (I am for Edwards), but I think she looks like a 60-year-old woman who works very, very hard at her job. I like the idea of someone who is willing to work. Contrast that with W playing video games and riding his bike while the world goes to hell around him.

I am 57 myself. I no longer look all smooth and cute the way I did in my 20s. So sue me.

Sheesh!

[sniffa]

70. oh dear

well played.

[ClarkUSA]

94. Wow. When her face isn't completely airbrushed, she looks 80 yrs. old with a masterful dye job

Not that there's anything wrong with that. But my grandmother had fewer wrinkles at 92. Does Hillary smoke?
The debates are all filmed with a camera filter that smooths out wrinkles, too. It's Hollywood "magic" at work in
politics.

[Eurobabe]

103. oh, now that is just evil

:evilgrin:

[Maven]

137. This is likely photoshopped. nt

[highflyingbird]

12. Nice

My candidate is Edwards. But I'd be happy to vote for Senator Clinton if she is the nominee.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. That one of my favorite photos of her.

I can't find the one from Vanity Fair taken in 1998 at the WH. That's my all time favorite Hillary pic.

[terrya]

15. Annie Liebowitz took the Vanity Fair picture, right?

I remember that one...what a gorgeous pic that was.

Hillary Clinton photographs very well.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Yeah that's the one!

I remember my mom bought that issue just for that picture.

[KittyWampus]

49. with the right make up, lighting and photographer, ANYONE photographs well :-)

We have models stay here when they do photo shoots out here and you'd be surprised how ordinary so many are when they get up in the morning.

Very skinny, yes. Usually on tall side, yes. High cheekbones, usually. But really, their faces aren't all that.

[Vektor]

85. Too true.

When I hear the words "tall" "skinny" and "high cheekbones" I don't think "pretty female" at all. I imagine a scrawny rocker guy, or a dude in drag. Which is fine, but I definitely don't think those traits all stuck together make for a terribly feminine looking package.

More androgynous, really.

Ann Coulter is all those things. And, well, :puke:

[dionysus]

17. to quote a phrase from the movie Blood In Blood Out

"in your dreams pedro... in your dreamsss"

[William769]

21. Thats Ms. pedro to you.

[dionysus]

28. ok Ms Pedro, in your dreamssss..

[blm]

18. Beautiful picture - but who is going to retouch the real Clinton legacy?

Anyone who protects the secrecy and privilege of the Bushes and their powerful cronies is actually an ugly figure to me.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. Blah, blah, blah, blah

Same shit over and over.

Fucking broken record.

[blm]

48. None of my records are broken - not even the Deanna Durbin ones. ;))))

.

[ronnykmarshall]

59. Ok props for the Deanna Durbin comeback!

[Arugula Latte]

83. Doesn't make it untrue, though. nt

[Dhalgren]

23. Great photo of Senator Clinton. Very nice...

[OregonBlue]

24. Wow.

[truebrit71]

26. Not if I can help it...

:puke:

[emilyg]

87. You're a tiny pest. Go away.

[ClarkUSA]

100. Nasty as always.

True to Hillaryworld form.

[truebrit71]

120. No kidding eh?

...but then again what else do you expect from an HRC-ista...

[Forkboy]

30. Damn, I thought it would be this guy.

[FlyingSquirrel]

32. How 'bout this one.... ;-)

[Sultana]

33. Great...

[The Traveler]

34. Ya gotta love that smile

Really, Hillary is a beautiful and brilliant woman, and I really think her heart is basically in the right place.

It is just I disagree with her on several issues of great importance to me, and so I will struggle on in opposition to her nomination bid. Nothin' personal ...

[billybob537]

35. 2 words

Howard Dean!

[flvegan]

36. And our country will look much the same as it does today.

Sad.

[sniffa]

84. oh c'mon, you're just a misogynist

don't you know that the Changent is also the Peace Goddess? (sorry, i don't know my Greek Mythology. it's probably Trianguleros, but don't quote me on it)

[emilyg]

37. I would love to see her for 8 years.

[youthere]

42. Nice picture...

She looks beautiful...but I don't believe she will be our next president.

[FrenchieCat]

44. That is one of the best photos that I have seen of any of the candidate....

as a Presidential portrait.

Although I do believe that Obama has the best walk of all! Just that walk should get votes, in fact!

[PresidentObama]

45. You silly goose. You posted the wrong picture. Here's a picture of the REAL next President....

In any event, happy holidays!! :)

[Tarc]

50. Well, they both look like girls, at least.

[PresidentObama]

52. How Senator Edwards looks like a girl is beyond me.

Rather idiotic thing to say.

[Tarc]

53. Apparently you live in a cave, hands over ears, eyes closed

As it is a rather amusing joke/meme that has been traveling across the internets for quite awhile now;

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blpic-edwardsbreckgirl.htm

[goodgd_yall]

57. So why pass it on.

It's a really dumbass thing to post.

[Tarc]

60. Because watching you and the other guy

cry like babies about it has made it worthwhile?

Not that I am a supporter by any means, but people are slagging on Hillary and her looks all over this thread, so I figured a taste of your own medicine was warranted.

Suck it up.

[DadOf2LittleAngels]

72. Nice gop talking point..

[Tarc]

119. There's plenty of so-called "gop talking points"

every time someone here slags Hillary or Obama, too. I just figured that the Edwards standard bearers were feeling left out.

[mtnsnake]

80. LOL!

[Clark2008]

140. ROFLMAO

So true...

However, I think Edwards might be a smidge prettier. He's got all that hair.

:7

[redqueen]

51. He looks like he's singing there...

:)

[UrbScotty]

56. Clearly Senator Obama is a lot more white than I expected

And his hair is longer! ;-)

[HughBeaumont]

128. That's what I'M talking about.

I'd be happy with this ticket:

[UrbScotty]

55. WOW Senator Obama, looks like you've grown lots of hair and become a white woman!

:-)

[Lucinda]

58. Beautiful

[MonkeyFunk]

61. Wow, that's a great photo!

I hadn't seen that one before.

[mitchum]

62. Damn! The campaign is really taking a toll on Edwards...he used to be much prettier

[Snotcicles]

73. Hey, both hands on the keyboard there, mitchum. nt

[Vickers]

107. omg

:rofl:

That really is a lovely picture of Sen. Clinton by the way.

[applegrove]

63. I look forward to her laughter. And I mean that sincerely. I love her laugh.

But mostly - I look forward to Dems winning. That is the most important thing of all. I can hardly wait.

[Armstead]

64. Great Photo of the now and future Jr. Senator from New York

(I hope)

[Yuugal]

66. Awesome pic

I don't like her corporatism but she is pretty. Here is my favorite Hillary pic:

[Beacool]

79. I gather you're a guy? LOL!!!

Boobs will always win out. This is coming from someone with a sizable chest of her own. :eyes:

[Yuugal]

86. How did you know that? :)

Its like, I'm all big, nasty, union thug, Hill-hater...... and then I open that pic and I think, "she can't be all evil, right?" Ya gotta admit, framing an issue is everything and her campaign chest is definitely impressive in that pic. :rofl: If I get a bit flushed or I hear my gf coming down the hall I just hit the forward button and the "Queen Hillary" pic comes up. That usually does the trick. ;)

Seriously, I think shes very pretty, but I wish her stances on the issues looked as good to me as she does. Bush with boobs just isn't going to cut it for me.

[Beacool]

89. Why not?

Most guys I know have a drop in oxygen going to the big head when the little head does the thinking. Never underestimate the power of women......... :evilgrin:

Besides, she's NOT Bush with boobs. She's 1000 times better than that moronic twerp.

[Yuugal]

106. She is better than that

The thing is there are less "corporate friendly" people running. Is it possible that some women may be sexist this time around and are going for her simply because shes a woman? My problem with her isn't that shes a woman, my problem with her is she doesn't represent my class of people well enough. We can all sing, "I am woman , hear me roar" together and then go vote for her. I cant wait until my daughters get to see a woman president. What a great example for them she will be, unless their dad is cussing her out for 4-8 yrs on the tube every night. :)

Maxine Waters for President would be nice. I watched alot of cspan over the years and I love that lady. She never wavers in her support for the little people. Wish Hillary could be like that. Thanks for being polite in our discussion. If you are a Hillary supporter thats a first.

[jgraz]

67. What, you don't like her other pics?

[Caseman]

71. I thought we all learned...

...don't judge a book by its cover :o

[AspenRose]

75. That's a great picture.

It'd be interesting to see a series of all the candidates taken by this photographer. He's good.

[Beacool]

77. As they say: From your lips to God's ears!!!!

Great picture!!!!!!!!!

[bigwillq]

78. Wow. That's a nice pic.

Thanks for posting.

[mtnsnake]

82. She's simply irrestistable, whether she's 25, 45, or 65 and in her 2nd term as president. ooh la la!

[tammywammy]

88. That's nice, but of Hillary like this one better

[Beacool]

90. She looks regal in that picture.

Like one British reporter once called her when she was First Lady: America's princess.

[tammywammy]

92. I agree a bit

But overall, it does show her age but she looks great. It's not like she's pretending to be 30 or 20 anymore. The high neck and the background are great too. It really is one of my favorite pictures of her lately.

[Hieronymus]

91. Lots of air-brushing on that photo.

[Eurobabe]

102. Nice photo, but I wouldn't bet money on it

:hi:

[Ichingcarpenter]

104. 'What the next President of the United States is going to look like'

Photoshopped and through the lens of the media.

Damn right.

[OneBlueSky]

115. no chance . . . not a snowball's chance in hell . . . n/t

.

[avrdream]

116. She's gorgeous, but brilliant, too.

I remember feeling the exact same way about her husband. When I personally heard him speak in South Carolina, I thought he was charming and handsome but also incredibly smart.

HRC gets my vote for the exact same reasons that her husband did.

[mtnsnake]

121. The wrinkled photo of Hillary, shown by poster 11, is the famous photoshopped image from Drudge

You can confirm that yourselves by doing a google on it.

Even if it wasn't photoshopped, only a rightwing imbecile would ever take an image from Drudge and drop it on a thread like this one. It's pretty obvious why.

(edit for spelling)

[William769]

126. Just goes to show how desperate some people are, doesn't it?

[Sean Stuart]

124. I hate hero worship. It's just so ... I don't know .... Republican?

A photo of a politician gets voted on the Greatest Page. Snore.

[BringBigDogBack]

125. lol

[Madam Mossfern]

127. Hey! Just wait a second there!

There's so much whining about sexism...don't you see the irony?
Do intelligent people take a candidates looks into account when they support them? "You people are sexist...Isn't my candidate so pretty?" :eyes:

[Carrieyazel]

130. They also ran a similar posting in France with Segolene Royal's picture on it.

How did that work out again?

[William769]

131. Is this France?

[TheWatcher]

135. And this what the ending of the war after she is elected will look like.............

Oh, Wait.......

[Think82]

136. Sure, she's hot, but she still voted for Kyl-Lieberman!

[closeupready]

139. That's a very nice picture of her.

:)
