Is Condi Rice a Gou'ald host or does she need the services of an exorcist?
Neither, the folks at USA Today just decided to photoshop her eyes. Here's the original, non-demonic photo:
When asked why why USA Today didn't go all out and add lime-yellow laser beams shooting out of Condi's eyeballs, Richard Curtis, Graphics & Photos Managing Editor said that they were saving those for Bush.
UPDATE on this post from the Editor of USA Today: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.
Yeah, right... editorial standards.

I wonder why they did that? It's not like there was something wrong with the original photo. They trying to make her look psycho!
When it comes to Bush, I'm surprised they haven't been adding drool to his photos. It wouldn't be beneath them.
Absolutely, they're not beneath doing anything that makes the Bush administration look bad. They often portray Cheney snearing, & now they're doctoring Dr. Rice's eyeballs. Oh, the nerve!
I know that photo editors for magazines will routinely brighten models eyes, so as to make them even more impossibly gorgeous. However, this does not seem to mesh well with the Condoleeza pics for she indeed was altered to look impossibly evil.
And they say there's not a liberal media bias!
I found it strange that I didn't hear from any Stargate fans on this post.
When will they learn?
Never, I guess.
