Hillary Clinton and Audrey Tomason are MIA!!!
It is the image that has come to define a pivotal point in history, capturing the moment the deadly raid on Osama Bin Laden’s lair was watched in awe by the White House elite. But it appears for one U.S. newspaper, a couple of the people sat with President Barack Obama in the Situation Room that day were not quite elite enough.
Brooklyn-based Hasidic newspaper Der Zeitung printed a story this week with a subtly manipulated version of the historic image – all the men in the photograph remain untouched but the two women in the picture have been Photoshopped out.
It is thought the newspaper, which is written in Yiddish and serves a small part of the area’s ultra-orthodox Jewish community, removed the women because of religious issues regarding female modesty.While Mrs Clinton is dressed in the picture in a full jacket, wearing a top beneath that covers her almost right up to her neck, the newspaper never intentionally prints any images of women at all in case they could be considered sexually suggestive. More critical observers suggest the women have been edited by Der Zeitung, which translates as ‘The Time’, because of an ideological objection to women holding positions of power.
Subtly manipulated with scissors I presume. Start the invasion of Brooklyn!
Does it really matter? According to all reports she was just looking at a blank screen and posing for pix.
Tho I wondered if the “black out” was just so they wouldnt have to show the videos to anyone!
It’s the air. The Italians breathe the same Mediterranean breezes that the other cultures do in that part of the world, but somehow they come to different conclusions about how women are part of the human race, too.
Interesting how many arab cultures and conservative jewish cultures carry around the same bs. Still, mutual recognition of harboring the same craptastic ancient ideas may bring these two together in the end.
