NYT Gives Mark Warner the Dorian Gray Treatment
Our gossip-obsessed sister reports today that the Times Magazine is copping to inadvertently altering a picture of former Virginia governor Mark Warner: “The jacket was charcoal, not maroon; the shirt was light blue, not pink; the tie was dark blue with stripes, not maroon.” In other words, Warner was clad in his inside-the-beltway dullest. We get it.
Someone very dear to the heart of Wonkette, meanwhile, has pointed out to us that this episode in photographic TARFU is highly reminiscent of a scene from that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead of political documentaries: Inside the Bubble.
We recommend you tickle your yen for nostalgia by clicking this here linky, and watching the episode entitled “NY Times is Fucking Us.”
In addition, the events of the day have made it possible to view the episode that follows, “Pony Time”, in a hilarious new light. Go treat yourself.
Correction of the Week: Mark Warner Looks Nothing Like Mark Warner [Gawker]

After watching that clip from Inside the Bubble, I have to ask: Am I dense? Why was a picture of Kerry without a jacket on a criminal act by the NYTimes? Someone who spends his or her life focused on the semiotics of politicians' clothing, please enlighten me.

Those Warner teefs are most lovely. A tad horsier than Coleman teefs, yet choppertastic nonetheless.

He looks like a really fucked up version of Nixon.
And that's kind of hard to be.
