This really is a pretty bad picture, isn’t it?
I didn’t really take a look at it before, but Ann Althouse, Little Miss Attila, and Protein Wisdom Pub are all correct: that’s just a lousy photo. It looks better in smaller versions, for reasons which I’m sure are immediately obvious to professional photographers – but in the full-size version it looks like somebody dipped it in nicotine oil.
The weirdest part? This must have been the best picture, too.
Odd.

They weren’t going to go to that trouble for a snapshot, and “photo-op” was always a lame excuse for what happened . . . so whatever the real motivations were, they were even lamer.
Holy crap. Maybe the the smaller one is better!
