1. Norm doctored the St. Paul skyline in his 2002 campaign lit
Edited on Fri Dec-16-05 03:56 PM by Minnesota Raindog
The Ochsner campaign literature Photoshopping isn't the first time a Republican has been caught red-handed altering photos to suit their political ends. Our favorite empty-suit senator Norm Coleman altered an image of the St. Paul skyline in a piece of campaign literature he sent out in 2002. They wiped out all the hideous billboards and building names that sprouted on the skyline under Norm's tenure as mayor to make the city look artificially more beautiful. Unfortunately, they also wiped out the Big Red One atop the First National Bank building, which is tantamount to airbrushing the Foshay Tower out of the Minneapolis skyline. The Pie-in-Ear Press was tipped off on the discrepency and gave Norm some unwanted Page 1 publicity on it. In typical GOP fashion, they blamed it on the out-of-state design firm where they took their business. See the photo for yourself here:
