Pelosi's Photo Shop

"Pelosi defends altered photo of women in Congress

WASHINGTON — House minority leader Nancy Pelosi on Friday defended an altered picture of Democratic congresswomen that was posted on her Flickr photo-sharing site.

The photo showed four House members who were not in the original picture, which was taken Thursday, when lawmakers were sworn in as members of the 113th Congress. They arrived at the Capitol steps late, and their images were inserted with a computer program.

‘‘It was an accurate historical record of who the Democratic women of Congress are,’’ Pelosi told a news conference. ‘‘It also is an accurate record that it was freezing cold and our members had been waiting a long time for everyone to arrive and . . . had to get back into the building to greet constituents, family members, to get ready to go to the floor. It wasn’t like they had the rest of the day to stand there.’’

And it's no big deal if lies were told or fakes provided. I know you say it's a small thing, but small things show character and often foretell conduct. What it shows is the entire staged and scripted show Americans are fed on a daily basis extends across the ruling structure and body politic. 

Oh, I remember the days when Pelosi took over with such promise and we were going to end Bush's torture and obscene wars of occupation. Since then we have had two more regime change attempts at least (Libya, Syria) and torture is again in vogue.

Can you really believe anything you see or hear from government or AmeriKa's ma$$ media these days, especially with such a callous attitude toward the truth?
