Monstrous McCain Pictures (From a Dem Photography “Pro”)
Childish and unprofessional move from famed photographer Jill Greenberg.
[S]he’s thought about replacing McCain’s mouth with bloody shark teeth and displaying the image on a billboard with the message that the candidate is a bloodthirsty war monger.
Well, she didn’t just think about it. She went ahead and did it. Here’s more of her handywork at BuzzFeed (a sister website of the HuffPo, incidentally). What a brat.
There are a couple of more nasty pics at Jill Greenberg’s website, appropriately called manipulator.com (but you have to search for John McCain).
Maybe she thought it was a heroic political statement she was making, but there’s nothing heroic about tricking someone into posing for you for nefarious, ulterior purposes.
Of course, Lefties in their moral confusion have no clue about what heroism is. Heroism involves sacrifice. And I doubt Jill risks sacrificing anything as long as she is skewering Republicans.
UPDATE: Yeah “political pornography” sounds about right. Professor Reynolds has more here and here.
I don’t think any employer should vet for politics, but vetting any one for professionalism should be standard in any field.
STILL MORE: the author of of the cover story for which the pictures were taken reacts.
