They have managed to find the worst snapshots of both Bush and Kerry and posted them together on the same page. Most news sources (or book covers) zero in on just one or the other.
Okay, to be honest, I feel sorry for major politicians sometimes. Ever watch a televised press conference or speech, and heard the constant whirring of camera shutters? Fact is, anyone, be it me, you, or the Pope, is sooner or later going to be caught with an odd grimace, our finger up our nose, or making a strange gesture that will delight zillions of Internet “Caption this Photo!” viewers.
That said, neither Bush nor Kerry are particularly photogenic. Nor, of course, should that be the primary basis for their selection. But it does make for a lot of awful pictures.
UPDATE: As an example …
I should have my students look over The Onion’s commentary on Election 2004, though I guarantee at least one would believe it’s true.
