Rick Santorum’s Two Dozen Kids Hate You
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
There are so, so many things to love about this picture. Well, three things: Rick Santorum conceding, a little girl crying, and an awkward pre-teen flipping off the nation. We declare this the official screenshot of the 2006 midterm congressional elections. MORE »

Fingergate Fallout: Photog ‘Fired’?
Friday, March 31st, 2006
Here in the blogosphere, we’ve been having lots of fun with the silly little story about Justice Antonin Scalia’s colorful, obscene-or-not-obscene hand gesture. That’s fine; that’s what we do. We’re bloggers, and it’s our job to make mountains out of molehills. MORE »

Another Fingergate Update: The Ocular Proof
Thursday, March 30th, 2006
The Boston Herald has the goods: a front-page photo of our gesturing justice, Antonin Scalia:
The picture was taken by freelance photographer (and photojournalism professor) Peter A. Smith, who also spoke with the Herald about the incident:
“It’s inaccurate and deceptive of [Scalia] to say there was no vulgarity in the moment,” said [Smith]. Despite Scalia’s insistence that the Sicilian gesture was not offensive and had been incorrectly characterized by the Herald as obscene, the photographer said the newspaper “got the story right.”
Smith said the jurist “immediately knew he’d made a mistake, and said, ‘You’re not going to print that, are you?’”
Additional details, after the jump.
