January 24, 2008 - Loser of the Week - Newsweak Magazine

This week’s LOSER OF THE WEEK is NEWSWEEK magazine.

Newsweek decided that Hillary Clinton needed to be propped up because of her lagging primary and carcass results. Newsweek airbrushed her sagging features on their January 21, 2008 cover.

It should come as no surprise as magazines have been altering photos for years. I found the Top 15 incidents while doing some web surfing.

Newsweek removed all the wrinkles and even changed her eye color. Here is the cover they should have run.

Or they could have used these great Hillary pics.

The media has detailed how Hillary Clinton beat Barack Obama in the Nevada Carcass.

Hillary may have received more popular votes, however Obama beat Clinton, 13-12 in Nevada delegates. The candidate with the MOST DELEGATES wins the nomination. So who really won?

It must be that VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY. A few more Clinton “victories” and Obama should be all set as the Democratic nominee.

I was reminded of a classic Hillary lie this past week with the passing of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to scale Mount Everest.

Hillary announced in 1995 that her mother had actually named her for this famous explorer. The claim was repeated in Bill Clinton's memoirs. The only problem is that Sen. Clinton was born in 1947, and Sir Edmund Hillary did not ascend Mount Everest until 1953. Was it prophetic or pathetic?

Indeed, a spokeswoman for Sen. Clinton named Jennifer Hanley phrased it like this in a statement in October 2006, conceding that the tale was untrue but nonetheless charming: "It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add."

To paraphrase Hillary’s silver-tongued husband, “I guess it depends on what your definition of “History” is.”

Thank you Newsweek, or should I call you Newsweak? You are my LOSER OF THE WEEK.
