You know, it happens all the time with women who have naturally appealing features. Any picture, from any time of day, whether showing casual attire or caught out on the town, captures a natural charm that most people would kill for. Then they always have to go screw it up when posing for Vanity Faire or Harpers, or dressing for the Oscars -- and suddenly these natural beauties take on a grotesque quality with makeup and hair that transforms them into a wax figure from a Hollywood & Vine tourist trap.
Now we've got Wes Clark -- a charismatic U.S. General who's striking features and wry smile make great photographic material in any context, whether commanding Allied Forces in Kosovo, or as an anaylyst on Fox News slapping down Neil Cavuto, in an ad for VoteVets, or on a panel at YearlyKos.
So what in the world is going on when it's time for a book cover and the one they choose is airbrushed ghostly pale, with weird teeth, and artificial smile? I'll just go ahead and connect it to my famous theme: Democrats have no concept of media and packaging. Someone took a kickass general and turned him into a Halloween mask with dentures.
