Please let Yahoo know how you feel about using the picture

of Gennifer Flowers with a story about Dems commenting on Bush exporting jobs. The story and pic are now in Yahoo's Top Reader Rated stories (this changes frequently).

7. You know,

on second glance, it might be. I'll wait and see if they take care of it. It certainly pissed me off either way. :grr:

8. It's a "mistake," but there's not a damned thing that's "honest" about it.

It's likely a cutesy little joke being perpetrated upon us by a Yahoo! news department flunkie.

It's also sexist, troubling, and un-funny.

11. Yahoo CEO is hardcore Bush supporter

From the Salt Lake Tribune:

�� "Bolstered by money from luminaries such as Yahoo CEO Terry Semel, tech has poured 55 percent of its $8.2 million in contributions into Republican coffers. That's up from 47 percent in 2000, says the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan watchdog group. Among top givers, only doctors and other health professionals shifted more to the GOP.
�� Semel gave $25,000 to the Republican National Committee in December -- one of just 689 committee gifts that big last year."

2. Are you sure that's G. Flowers, not Governor Jennifer Granholm (D-MI)?

I think you got the wrong blonde

3. Check the caption.

It's Flowers. From 1992. It makes absolutely no sense with the story, but it's Flowers.

6. It's most definitely Gennifer.

And it's beyond disgusting that her photo has been attached to a story about Democrats confronting the important issue of outsourcing.

Gennifer's dual, unworthy, and frivolous lawsuits (Tort Reform only applies to poor Democrats, you know) were summarily dismissed this week, making her photographic attachment to the outsourcing story all the more ridiculous.

Laura Bush killed beside a story on George W. Bush and the economy?

Would that be fair journalism?
