Clarification (Ken Shepherd | 10:26 EDT): The story in question was written for The Hollywood Reporter and the photo was provided by Reuters.
Yahoo News picked up a Reuters article on Yahoo that reports actress Eliza Dushku of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Tru Calling” and “Bring It On” fame has a new show lined up called, “Nurses.”
The article is a tiny little story that isn’t worth much time, except for the accompanying picture. The pic is a file photo from a 2004 John Kerry benefit concert, and a two and a half year old photo with such a visibly identifying background should have sent this photo to the back of the pile.
Potential political bias aside, I think the photo editor should have done Dushku a favor and chosen a different picture because of that outfit alone.
I’m sure that Reuters and Yahoo have access to the same photos that I can find online from such places like WireImage or IMDB that had photos of Dushku at 2006 movie premieres and red carpet events. If they prefer to use their own, I know that she went to several 2006 events in which she was photographed by other organizations, and I would assume that Reuters would have been there as well.
Maybe, they didn’t think she was important enough to photograph, maybe they just happened to pick that one or maybe they like that photo for some reason.
Is this a case of Reuters and Yahoo lacking a more up to date photo of an actress that isn’t at the top of the Papparazzi’s list, or is this an opportunity for them to send another political message?
Reuters and Yahoo could have found a picture of Dushku without the Kerry signs in the background, and it makes me wonder why they didn’t.

Come on...do you think the majority of the guys are going to care about her outfit here?
Really?
Or what the posters say behind her?
LMAO!
You have a good night gal...
I love your work btw...thanks...
....and of course she has terrible taste with her outfit, and her choice of politicians.... I mean that.

March 13, 2007 - 00:54 ET by Lynn DavidsonI'm shocked, shocked that a guy would ignore the possible geo-political ramifications of ongoing photo-bias with the media simply because a girl is really hot and in tight clothes. Are women simply objects to you, sir??? I am outraged at this...this...man-like response. I think you should listen to "I Am Woman" thirty times and watch "The First Wives Club" for penance. If that doesn't work, then I'm sure that 40 hours of old Gloria Steinam speeches will teach you that women are not to be looked at as sexual objects...unless they are strippers and hookers, who are really just "taking back" the power from The Man.
You call that penance? I made

March 13, 2007 - 14:49 ET by Lynn DavidsonYou're right; forcing someone to watch "Commander In Chief" is definately much more of a punishment than listening to Helen Reddy. In fact, I think it should be included among our choices of judicial punishments.

March 13, 2007 - 12:44 ET by Wilbur747REHAB! Send him to rehab! Thirty days, possibly more with exposure to the aforementioned music and speeches including those of Hillary.
Until he succesfully completes total reindoctrination...I mean rehab, we should not respond to any of his racist, bigotted, anti-women/Rosie/Oprah/people who won't buy carbon offsets for their farting cats hate speech. He must be shunned intil then!
The only explanation for his comments could be that he's been affected by Global Warming...I mean Climate Change.

March 13, 2007 - 10:55 ET by sarcasmoFor some reason, this thread brings to mind an incident during the last campaign when Alexandra Kerry wore a see-thru dress to a film festival in (surprise!) France. Drudge responded with perhaps the best headline of the decade: "Nice Cannes!"

Only if you wear a pleated skirt, tight sweater and put glitter on your face, Bal, otherwise, you're out of uniform.

March 13, 2007 - 15:52 ET by Wilbur747If he wears a skirt, will he be one of those in 'protected status'? Is so we won't be able to talk about him as anything we say would offend him and we would most likley be cited with hate speech. Then we'd have to enter rehab.
