THE STRAIGHT PHOTO EXPRESS

Magazine photographer Jill Greenberg is no fan of Republicans. In fact, she's avowed Bush Hater (you, go girl!).

When Jill was hired by The Atlantic to do a portrait of John McCain for the magazine's cover, she not only decided to shoot him in unflattering light (with no retouching) --so that he would look authentically saggy-- she used the outtakes to make a political statement on her web site*.... Which is, of course, her right as an artist.
Yowza! Jill pulls no punches. Even without the take no prisoner comments, she makes McCain look like some kind of monster from a 30s Universal horror flick.
Predictably, in rightwing world where no dissent is tolerated, avowed Republicans have flooded her email and voice mail with threats and curses, calling her a "cunt" and/or a "bitch."


*to find the photos, select "names" then look up "John McCain".
