I would say she wouldn't need any makeup in order to play an extra for the siege of Helmsdeep in Lord of the Rings, in other words- she looks like a Peter Jackson interpretation of an Orc.

Speaking of Novak,
here's a good article about why Clarke turned into a partisan bush-basher.
That's right, Clarke must indeed have some serious personality disorder to want to expose the inner workings of the White House. Is he a deviant? A sociopath? Perhaps just anti-social? Certainly we need to talk about Clarke personally and not just about his message.

Nokak completely discredits himself with that last paragraph:

While Clarke testified under oath last week that he would not join a Kerry administration, he is now, in effect, part of the Kerry campaign. His book's publication was timed to coincide with his testimony, and his transformed posture is one of political partisan.

Can't see her eyes in the cnn thread. That makes her look inhuman and out of touch.

Oh really? Does he completely discredit himself with these?

Clarke had complained to friends about the Clinton administration's weakness on terrorism

Miniter for the first time revealed, directly quoting Clarke, the meeting of Cabinet-level officials on Oct. 12, 2000, after the terrorist attack on the USS Cole. The vote was 7-1 against an attack on Osama bin Laden. Only Clarke wanted action.

Whereas he had briefed Clinton, Bush was briefed by CIA Director George Tenet. Clarke found himself at ''deputies'' rather than ''principals'' meetings. The final indignity was his rejection by Secretary Tom Ridge for a high-ranking Homeland Security post.

Clarke since he left the government is described by friends as becoming much closer to Rand Beers, who succeeded him as chief terrorist official in the Bush administration. Beers quit his high-ranking post to become Sen. John Kerry's foreign policy adviser. Since then, Clarke and Beers have been collaborating.

Clarke's only political contributions in 2002 and 2004 were to two former colleagues on the Clinton National Security Council staff who are running for Congress as Democrats.

That's nothing new.

Again, nothing new.

Nothing new. We all know Bush was more worried about his vacations and finding a way to go to war on Iraq.


Clarke since he left the government is described by friends as becoming much closer to Rand Beers, who succeeded him as chief terrorist official in the Bush administration. Beers quit his high-ranking post to become Sen. John Kerry's foreign policy adviser. Since then, Clarke and Beers have been collaborating.
Collaborating on what? Pure conjecture.


Clarke's only political contributions in 2002 and 2004 were to two former colleagues on the Clinton National Security Council staff who are running for Congress as Democrats.
And that means?? The people to whom Clarke donated money were people he'd known during the Clinton Administration. It has absolutely no bearing on the issue at hand. Well, it does go to show Novak is trying to point the finger of implication toward to Clarke.

Is nobody going to answer the question? Was the original CNN one darkened or not? It's a simple question, really.

To me it most likely looks as when is was cropped and enlarged to fit the image size they wanted the contrast darkens a bit. No biggie.

Yeah, because alchemize thinks darker skin tone is "worse." Who's really the racist around here?
