"This week&amp;#8217;s &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Newsweek&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; cover photo shows governor and GOP Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin in a way that many are not accustomed to&amp;#8212;she isn&amp;#8217;t all glammed-up.&amp;#160;The Newsweek cover is, according to conservatives, an unflattering close-up.&amp;#160; Palin&amp;#8217;s picture has obviously not been touched up or airbrushed, and a few wrinkles, bags and crows-feet under her eyes, a pimple, as well as lip hair can be seen.&amp;#160; The headline beside the picture is non-flattering as well and reads,&amp;#160;&amp;quot;She&amp;#8217;s one of the folks (that&amp;#8217;s the problem).&amp;quot; The controversy, according to Andrea Tantaros, a Republican media consultant, is that &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Newsweek photos&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; of Obama have been retouched to make him look good.&amp;#160; Tantaros also said that the cover of Sarah Palin is a &amp;quot;slap in the face after so many &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Newsweek&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; covers have been favorable to Obama.&amp;quot;  In her interview with Fox News, Tantoros calls for &amp;quot;regular folk&amp;quot; to cancel their Newsweek subscriptions. Julia Piscitelli of American University, who was also interviewed by Fox News, has a different outlook.&amp;#160; Piscitelli says the first thing she noticed on the Sarah Palin &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Newsweek&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; cover are Palin&amp;#8217;s beautiful brown eyes and thinks the tilt of her head portrays a nice &amp;quot;folksiness.&amp;quot; Since Sarah Palin keeps referring to herself, and John McCain for that matter, as a &amp;quot;Maverick&amp;quot; and an everyday person in hopes of getting the &amp;quot;Joe six pack and hockey mom&amp;quot; vote, perhaps this photo will help her connect with those voters that she seems to be targeting the most.&amp;#160;  I understand why conservatives are troubled and feel that &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Newsweek&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; is attacking Sarah Palin both on the cover and within the story.&amp;#160; However, love Sarah Palin or hate her, despite not having any touch-ups done at all, and even though Palinophiliacs are crying foul&amp;#8212;many women can only hope to look that good in their forties."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
