Is this an appropriate picture of Gov. Sarah Palin published by Reuters Wednesday (h/t Ace)?
Or how 'bout this one from the Associated Press also published Wednesday?
Or how 'bout this twofer from AP (could be Cindy McCain's legs in foreground)?
Are these appropriate pictures from major wire services? Would women's groups tolerate these kinds of pictures if this was a Democrat candidate?
No...I don't think so either.

Asexual Press (AP), Ruthless News, and other lower life forms
October 9, 2008 - 01:35 ET by wdhorningIts the old liberal double-standard. Show a female Democrat like that, and 24/7 for a month the MSM will blast the media outlet that released such pictures, but if pictures are sexist with respect to a female Republican, the MSM does a ho-hum.
But lets have a little fun with the photograhper, AP and Ruthless:
i myself do not see palin
October 9, 2008 - 10:09 ET by patmac49i myself do not see palin as attractive but of course,everyone has their own taste...plus i cannot take that andy of mayberry act..but cindy mccain..i think she is absolutly smokin!!!
OK
October 9, 2008 - 11:42 ET by cvgbuckeyeI don't mind; as long as the MSM doesn't mind the picture I just posted on line of Barack Hussein Obama standing between a flag of the Weathermen and the Muslim International flag while he and Michelle are hoisting a sign proclaiming "America's Chickens are coming home to roost; - - - damn America!"
ITS BACKFIRING!!!!
October 9, 2008 - 23:27 ET by wdhorning1) The vast majority of women that see this picture are outraged that a candidate for the Vice President of the United States should be treated in such a sexist, underhanded, demeaning and otherwise Neanderthal manner, which may sway significant numbers of women to vote a vote of protest, either not vote for Obama, or else vote for McCain-Palin
and
2) as incorrect thinking as this might be, some men may even say, "Hey, nice legs. I think I will vote for her." Again, it is the wrong reason to vote for her, but I am only making the point that this is one more way this thing is backfiring on the Neanderthal Press.
Young Man Framed
October 10, 2008 - 20:57 ET by lsheldonI am tired or all these "ist" words.
I suppose the picture of her legs is "sexist", and if she or anybody else is offended I am truly and seriously sorry.
But I am sorrier yet for the loss of humanity. Yes, I do truly believe that it is possible to be immpressed by both the cerebral prowess, and the human sexines of the women, together and separately.
But most interesting to me is what the young man thinks when he sees his picture framed by the legs of what will probably be the most memorable woman of the 21st century.

Exactly why they are doing
October 9, 2008 - 09:38 ET by mattmExactly why they are doing this. Feminists loathe female beauty - one look at most of them proves this.
Feminism isn't pro-woman, it's about de-feminizing women, creating hybrid beings which are neither male nor female, and are intentionally not attractive to men.
They hate Palin because she's a foxy refutation of their entire warped ideology.

The absolute sexism in this
October 8, 2008 - 23:00 ET by bigtimerThe absolute sexism in this is totally unacceptable..this is something the NAGS bitched about about since I was a young girl, I had to watch them destroy a lot of things in this country, intentionally, now this, this is purposeful, the positions of the legs, the different views and suggestions one can get from the young men, it is absolutely beyond disgraceful with what these very people that took these pictures, and the services in the msm that put these out here... are on the same side of the aisle of b!tches like Hill, Pelosi, DiFi, Boxer, McCaskill..on and on...
Enough is enough...where is the msm, where is the NOW groups, it was horrendous what they let Bill Clinton get away with...but this is now taking it to a different level...this takes the cake for me...
there had better be a lot of women like me who are furious...complaining loud and clear...
...enough is enough.
Nothing but disrespect.
I do not give a rats rear about their agenda..we all can see that, or believe me, us women out here can, that have a head on our shoulders...this is nothing but a disgrace to the left and all they stand for.
Period!!!!!

October 9, 2008 - 00:33 ET by nofateHey, BT. Tell us what you really think. Don't hold back anymore ;>)
The hypocritical, condescending attitude of these folks is just amazing, although not really surprising- Bork, Thomas etc. Just because a candidate fits the look of a normally favored minority doesn't mean they get a pass if they wander off the liberal reservation. Hang in, we've got them on the run. Look how they are telling us we better not talk about Ayers anymore, 'cause it might harm us! As if they are at all concerned about the health of our campaign. Though if McCain would stop handing out goodies to the folks who caused this mess it would sure help.

Not suitable,
October 8, 2008 - 22:45 ET by Indiana JoeStupid, if you ask me. But, honestly, I'm glad they didn't take pics of Dem candidates this way. I know, Hillary was the only one, and thank goodness they didn't do it. But in a pantsuit, these would be nothing, IMO.
The only thing I can imagine this photog had in mind was seeing if he could catch those kids in front ogling her, or drooling. He probably didn't even think or worry about it seeming sexist. Maybe the idea was to show that she's only popular because she's "hot?" Maybe to counter the "only because he's black" argument about Obama not deserving the nom?
But it looks like the kids are listening, watching her face. So, it didn't work out. But why use them at all? All they accomplish is to leave them open to a charge of using "unsuitable," possible sexist, pictures. If he just wanted a shot of the young 'unz, a couple steps to the side would have given him a clear shot.
Sincerely,
Puzzled

October 8, 2008 - 23:38 ET by PrairieSkyThis isn't a matter of "...how this would hurt her." It isn't about that. It is DISRESPECTFUL to shoot photos like this of her.

Do you think that anyone in the MSM would take pictures like this of Michelle Obama? No freakin' way. That's the point...It is that simple.

October 9, 2008 - 00:08 ET by PrairieSkyserious with your "suggestion" is the worst possible scenario.

PopTech & others...
October 9, 2008 - 01:59 ET by MrShyOkay, I think, for me, the primariy outrage is not the yes or no to whether this is sexist -- the pics themselves -- but the OUTRIGHT and BLATANT reason for going with these to further their create-the-impression cause:
Palin is just a not-very smart bimbo who's not saying anything much of real substance at her rallies. And/or the audience just cares about her looks, since she probabaly doesn't have much to say....
So, our liberal and undecided friends, here's your red meat -- photos of her calves and drooling young men near the stage.
AP and the MSM can't wait to use pics like this.
Pop, Bal, and others, stop being stubbornly foolish. It's clear as day why they would choose pics like this over, oh say, her at the podium.

But it also, CLEARLY, pushes their agenda of painting her as just a brainless babe. To me, that's also obvious.

How does this take away from her journalism degree?

October 9, 2008 - 01:30 ET by PopularTechThat was about as blatant a sexual ploy as I ever saw one and very effective I might add.
If HRC had Palin's legs you can bet that they would use them. The fact is HRC only appealed to middle aged and older women. The MSM, including Fox has been doing tabloid stuff for ages now, I am hardly outraged.

I don't car what woman it is that has something like this done to her if she is in politics or elsewhere other than this being done intentionally..this is horrendous...and this should be big news.

October 8, 2008 - 23:47 ET by Noel SheppardShawn,
I said almost. Eye of the beholder. Taking a picture of a focused object -- which, in this case is an almost leering young man -- through a woman's bare legs is indeed almost pornographic. It's depicting a sexual image. You disagree?
Also, in the second one, the look on the guy's face just to her left is almost orgasmic, do you disagree?
I'm sorry -- you don't have to be Fellini to figure out the imagery. ns

See my above reply to Shawn about the first two pics. As for pic three, although the guy on the left is yawning, the illusion is that he is also having an orgasm and the guy to the right is close.
Again, I said almost pornographic, didn't I? These pictures are indeed sexual in nature and depicting the woman in the foreground stripping or tantalizing these young boys in the crowd who appear to be quite aroused by what they are watching. If you don't see that as almost pornographic, it's because what's available on the Internet today has radically altered the definition. ns

You notice that the rally goers that we so prominently see in these pictures appear to be teen-aged boys...Coincidence? I don't think so. What about the fact that some of these photos are shot from the angle that they are???
Is there an implicit message here? What exactly is the MSM trying to say with these pictures? Is there no point low enough that these pathetic leftists will not sink to?
What a bunch of sick bastards...(pardon my language).

Not only is Sarah Palin an accomplished conservative, in her own right....she can wear heels, have great looking calves, and kick a** all at the same time.
Of course it's an inappropriate photo for the MsM....but once again, it only points out their contempt for all things not CANKLES.
Priceless, actually.
And just like Tina Fey's impersonation, I'd imagine the Governor isn't exactly annoyed.

BTW....those kids didn't look sexually aroused to me...they looked kind of stoned and stupid, actually.
As I said, it was an inappropriate photo for the AP to publish, but the caterwaulling about it is a bit much, IMO.

October 9, 2008 - 01:19 ET by BlondeI'm glad you all find her "hot"...however....she's the antithesis of "feminism"....so if she chooses to be traditionally feminine (heels), that doesn't mean she's "using that to her full advantage", i.e. trying to act like the "Arctic Barbie" (a gross appelation I read on a liberal blog, BTW).
It merely means she's comfortable with herself. She's wearing great suits, conservative, but fashionable. I'd just hate to see you misconstrue the heels as being a "hot" stab.

Olbermann Masturbation Syndrome
October 9, 2008 - 00:20 ET by Lame CherryAs I broke this on Newsbusters earlier this week when Keeter Olbermann brought up masturbation linking the National Republic editor to doing that as he typed, I was pointing out that is what these people are all doing..........and not just to Barack Obama.
That is what the above photos are all about in the disgusting milf term these perverts coined.
I would hope as Mr. Sheppard has featured this would now call it for what it is like PDS in OMS, Olbermann Masturbation Syndrome as that is exactly what these creatures from Keith Olbermann, these porn photographers and Diane Sawyer.
Look, Sawyer put on her feed, getting up, running over and posing for a quick picture before an interview with Obama.
She didn't do it with McCain.
This is all about sexual perversion with these types. That is what drives them, OMS.
Give Olbermann credit and start busting these sex pervs in the media.

For whatever it's worth, I agree 100% with your outrage. The suggestiveness of the photos is completely out of line. Actually, when I saw the shots I thought of the James Bond posters.
However, I'll just bet that the photographer also took shots higher up the legs. I wonder how long before those are "stolen" by "persons unknown" and "leaked" to the Internet?

I've seen shots of the guys on the stock exchange floor this week with their hand on their mouths, the picture making it look like they're in disbelief on what's going on. In reality they're probably covering up their headset mic's to be heard or keep someone from reading their lips. Thing about a lot of reporters and photographers is they can't resist a little hollywood impulse.

It's a full court press folks, don't forget to go out and vote. Only way McCain/Palin has a chance is if the entire Conservative base comes out to vote.
Couldn't hurt to have some legislation requiring the use of photo ID at polling places either.
What's wrong with the pictures?
October 9, 2008 - 09:23 ET by kbworkmanThe photog got some good shots of the reactions of the people in the audience.
If I were taking these pictures I would have moved to one side or the other to get an unobstructed view, but I am not a lazy person.
Maybe the photog is caught in the Victorian era, when they were such prigs that they even covered the legs of their pianos becuase they had such a problem with sex.
Maybe they thought that these pictures would somehow reflect poorly on the legs...
Since I can't see who's legs they are, it doesn't work. Would I believe them when they say whose legs they are? Nope.
Even if I did, it reflects on the perverted mind of the photog who thinks there is something wrong.
Does anyone know...
October 9, 2008 - 09:29 ET by Prester John....if the first picture has been photoshopped with der Schlickmeister's face?
That would be a classic.
Why isn't someone notifying
October 9, 2008 - 09:42 ET by AJWhy isn't someone notifying a group of super feminists? Oh, wait. I know why. Feminists only defend progressive women. Were feminists to get ahold of these pictures, they'd sit around in their tree house and come up with excuses as to why they shouldn't piss and moan over it.
Hmmm....
Offensive
October 9, 2008 - 12:56 ET by Amanda Justice... I agree. They would NEVER do this to a "progressive" female. Well maybe Claire McCaskill, but she'd have to spit on the lens first before letting them shoot.
What's with the pink

Personally, I find it insulting.

Where were these
October 9, 2008 - 11:53 ET by air conservativeWhere were these published? In a story? Or were they part of a raw photo stream of all of the pictures one photographer took? I work as a sports photographer for a university, and usually, press photographers take dozens of photos, plug in their camera, and upload them all to the wire service. I'd be interested to know which of these "strip club" photos were actually published.

Hillary - no
Nancy Pelosi - no
Helen Thomas - no
Paglia - no
Whoopi - not just no but heck no
I can't think of any. On the other hand conservative women who's legs are mighty fine:

Sarah Is the Total Package
October 9, 2008 - 14:24 ET by BW222In addition to being an intelligent conservative (yes, I'm into redundency), Sarah Palin is an incredibly attractive women (particularly for a 44 year old mother of five). You can't help but notice her legs. I sure did last night when Sarah and McCain were on with Sean Hannity.

October 9, 2008 - 19:54 ET by JoelCTBoth Reuters and AP have been doing it for some time, and I don't understand why. This is from Oct 2, but I have been noticing this for a much longer time:

If FoxNew published pictures like this of Michelle Obama's legs, someone would end up having to resign from the "sexist" controversy that would result from it.

She has great taste in shoes
October 9, 2008 - 20:00 ET by BlondeAlso, it goes to show that there's not an original thought in the MsM.

October 9, 2008 - 21:52 ET by UnsaneSheesh, leave it to a woman to talk about her shoes!
:-)
Speaking of "man cards" (h/t, my PA bro, Roger the Shrubber), to my horror, the number of shoes I have continues to multiply. Sure, they all have a purpose (6 pairs of shoes and boots for the military alone), but still, guys are not supposed to pile them on. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
Oh, there ARE no original thoughts in the MSM. I can't listen to Limbaugh much or hit NB very much for that matter, but I LOVE his media montages where they are all quite clearly repeating the same talking point.
Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief. Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.

Exactly...this has been absolutely horrendous with the silence from the msm and the NOW group and all their ilk...
I posted last night with my anger...the hypocrisy is simply outrageous.
Mum's the word, unless it's a democrat gal.
Sickening!!!!
I had hoped to hear something today...oh well ...I am just furious still with the silence.

The confession of a gentleman "leg guy"
October 9, 2008 - 21:46 ET by UnsaneAmong many things I am eternally grateful for, I am grateful that I was raised in a part of the world where a woman can show off her legs without the act being looked upon as a pornographic act.
I, Unsane, admit it. Perhaps my favorite word in English is "skirt". Or, auf Deutsch: Rock. (My Cyrillic lettering refuses to cooperate with me and I hate transliterating.) I am a total "leg guy". I have always been able to find more scenery on a college campus during a passing period or in a business district (like Houston's) than I could ever hope to find in some "gentleman's club (I always have chuckled at that term).
This being said: these pictures are in extremely poor taste, and above all, because it is suggesting that the only reason we are supporting Palin as VP is because she is attractive (and part of that is her legs). Not so. Is she aesthetically pleasing? I guess, but she is no Russian Tennis Hottie. The most important thing is that she has these things called ideas. As I support those ideas I will support her for VP.
