Pelosi Office Releases Doctored Photo - 113th Congress - Fox Nation

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office sent a photo of female lawmakers to press Thursday to commemorate a huge moment for the Democratic Party: The first time its House of Representatives caucus didn’t have a majority of white men.

Unfortunately, four members were late to the photo shoot.

‘Please note this version has the four Members who were late photo-shopped in,’ Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill wrote in an email to news outlets Thursday evening. In a subsequent email to Poynter, Hammill confirmed that the four latecomers were placed in the rear of the group.

Here’s the Associated Press version of the photo:

Just like Jim Hoft's photorage yesterday about the Obama New Years photo tweet, this is loads of stupid.

It looks like more than four to me, and at least one of them changed clothes and got a haircut between pics.

It almost looks like some type of second picture was taken.

re: #2 Skip Intro

They're different photos. The people are standing in close to the same positions but not exactly the same.

I think this should be called "CaneGate" or "CaneGazi"

Front row Tammy Duckworth, Disabled Veteran. Top picture she has a cane, bottom picture, she doesn't.
I suspect the Muslim Brotherhood is behind this!

Not to mention it is clearly a picture taken from a differrent angle.
Notice the lamp post in relation to the column.

Charles is right it's two different pics.
But even if it was photo shopped it's no big deal I'm sure they wanted a Pic with all the lady's in it, I sure they will all get a copy of it.

Portrait photographers always take lots of shots of a group like this. These are two different shots - the one on the top isn't the original for the photoshopped image.

At bottom right of the bottom photo there are cars that are not visible in the top photo.

ReamWorks SKG Fri, Jan 4, 2013 2:55:00pm

It's like Highlights magazine--can you find the 20 differences between the photos. And to me, it doesn't seem like a Photoshop, it's clearly two different photos.

ProBosniaLiberal Fri, Jan 4, 2013 5:44:11pm

re: #10 ReamWorks SKG

The biggest one?

The photos were taken from significantly different angles.

calochortus Fri, Jan 4, 2013 5:58:11pm

And, oh, by the way, they announced that 4 people were Photoshopped in and where they were. How underhanded can you get?

re: #12 calochortus

And, oh, by the way, they announced that 4 people were Photoshopped in and where they were. How underhanded can you get?

See, a good Right-wing hatefest can spend days talking about this very underhanded act of telling everyone the truth.
"They think we are too stupid to find out..."
"Liberals like to make it look like we can't tell what a photoshopped photo looks like..."
"Lieberals like to add women to their photos, and tell you they are adding women to photos, so Real Americans will have to try hard to figure out which ones are the women and which ones are the commie lesbians..."

I could go on with other lines of attack...

HappyWarrior Fri, Jan 4, 2013 8:40:28pm

It does look like two different photos now that you guys mention it but even if it were photoshopped, it's not a big deal at all. Just another stupid fauxrage from people who specialize in them.

Jon Karl Makes Things Worse
CNN's Howard Kurtz, who knows a little bit about being in the line of media fire for his own work, offered ABC News's embattled Jon Karl the chance to defend himself on Reliable Sources Sunday. Karl, of course, is in hot water because his "scoop" revealing that the White House tampered with Benghazi talking points relied on doctored email leaked by House Republican ...

Judge rules tea party group a PAC, not a nonprofit
A Travis County district court judge ruled this week that a Houston-based tea party group is not a nonprofit corporation as it claims, but an unregistered political action committee that illegally aided the Republican Party through its poll-watching efforts during the 2010 elections. The summary judgment by Judge John Dietz upheld several Texas campaign finance laws that had been challenged on constitutional grounds ...

Letter: HB116 Promotes Creationism
Having failed twice before, Rep.

Gene Reynolds, D-Dubberly, expressed concern that HB116 could permit adoption of controversial books on evolution and other subjects (Advocate May 13), he was exactly right. Hoffmann responded, "That is ...

Mountain of Petroleum Coke From Oil Sands Rises in Detroit
WINDSOR, Ontario -- Assumption Park gives residents of this city lovely views of the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit skyline. Lately they've been treated to another sight: a three-story pile of petroleum coke covering an entire city block on the other side of the Detroit River. Detroit's ever-growing black mountain is the unloved, unwanted and long overlooked byproduct of Canada's oil sands boom. ...

How NOT to confront a group of people taking pics. The guard was probably withing her rights as the people were on private property, and management gets to disallow if they wish. But the nuance here is the people were taking pics from mall property not of mall property. Fortunately no guns were involved. But a genuine cop would have made all the difference. ...

4 Things We Should Remember When Arguing About Politics
Political discourse in America has reached levels of douchebaggery previously only theorized about but never observed, like conversational dark matter. We're in a whole new world of hating people based solely on their opinions on a few key issues, and since this is unexplored territory, our conversations about politics are usually only a couple notches beyond the "hold your breath until the other ...
