So the feminists over at Fox News - do we call them vixens? - are apparently having a hissy fit over the cover shot of Sarah "You Betcha" Palin. They're saying such an extreme closeup shot should have been touched up to disguise facial blemishes - you know, like your prom picture. So I went back to my Newsweek and checked it out again, searching for those unwanted facial hairs, pores, wrinkles and pimples they were talking about. No moustache, mole, crows' feet nor nary a stray spinach between the teeth could I see. But I think the vixens' complaints are misplaced in any case; small-town real Americans have blemishes. You can't claim to be just one of the folks and then try to get away with sayin' you don't have any faults.
It did strike me as an odd cover photo, though. Why half her face? Why just one eye, a nose, part of a mouth and a cut-off ear? And most of all, why Sarah at all, given what hell's going on in this country?
