Halloween Condi?

Michelle Malkin has found USA Today photo editors at play, turning a perfectly normal picture of Condi into the abomination on the right -- perfectly suitable for one of the many slasher movies now in release.

Editors kindly cropped her bloody chainsaw out of the picture.

No, actually, they retouched her eyes. The question is did they do it incredibly badly or maliciously? And if they did it badly, why is Gannett paying them? The newspaper could get better work from a junior highschooler with a MyPlace page.

Michelle's got an update: USA Today pulled the photo and apologized. More significantly, photographers aren't buying the apology. Just another media bias bust.
