Until politicos start looking as good as Alice Goodwin, I'm not going to take them seriously.
To wit . . . Check out the huge intellect demonstrated by a d-bag drawing a paycheck from Jeff Roe on the subject of political photoshop.
"I don’t know that I can give it to you,” he said, “but you know it when you see it.” A wildly distorted photo could create empathy for the subject and actually erode the credibility of the candidate airing the ad. “Voters have a very low tolerance for that type of change,” said Klindt, who works for Kansas City-based Axiom Strategies and consults with Republican congressional hopefuls Kevin Yoder, Billy Long and Sam Graves. “For the most part, voters know what candidates look like, and they can tell instantly when there’s something wrong with an image."
I don't know what any of that means but it probably won't get the guy invited back to Fox News.
I'll remind TKC readers that Jeff Roe homies don't often need help to look silly as the photo above demonstrates . . . I still think she's talking to Roe about a zucchini from her garden. Ew.
Another "for instance" for political denizens:
Mayor Funky is a friend of Jeff Roe and for his latest campaign newsletter he sent out a strange image of a phone call.
There's no distortion or photoshop trickery . . . Also, the photo fails to note that Mayor Funky isn't raising campaign funds in this shot, he's just checking in with his wife again.
Nevertheless, I liked The Star political article if only because it gave Jeff Roe and his peeps a chance to fart above their waists with fellow bulging intellectuals at the paper of record. If only The Star's political influence in Kansas City wasn't outmatched by a simple and effective mailer . . . All of this might mean something.
And for all their hard work we get a dumber, less engaged, more unsophisticated voter deciding who gets the keys to our public treasury.
ReplyDeleteWe applaud your service to self.
Remember that your children must also live with the ends of the unscrupulous means same as mine.
Jeanne Patterson is telling Roe they had a stack of illegal activites this thick on Cleaver but the d-bags still elected him over her. Big mistake...
ReplyDeleteFunk is calling Byron to tell him his DNA test results are in and they match Deb Hermann so go blog someone else.
Alice, I fervently wish to give you a Wadsworth with my Longfellow.
ReplyDeleteGirls with big tits are happier.
ReplyDeleteThese candidates ask about what they should think, what they should say, how they should look, and who they should be. And the sleezy "consultants" tell them how best to trick the voters.
ReplyDeleteWhat could possibly go wrong?
"Funk is calling Byron to tell him his DNA test results are in and they match Deb Hermann so go blog someone else."
ReplyDeleteNO!
Your comment doesn't even make sense. P.S. His name is Mark. Funk is a mood that describes KCMO pretty well.
Where's your NSFW on the Alice Goodwin link? Trying to get people fired?
ReplyDeleteFunk is calling for help.
ReplyDeleteBusy signal.
Funky is all alone.
ReplyDeleteRoe will not work for free.
ReplyDeleteThe Co-mayors are out of money and had to lay off their kids. The campaign trail is lonely.
ReplyDeleteAlice has nice big tits.
