WTF is with CNN.com’s picture of Ron Paul?

In an admirable attempt to report the news accurately, CNN.com actually lists Ron Paul as a candidate on its Election Center 2008 website. However, the headshot they are using for Dr. Paul is absolutely ridiculous in comparison to the other candidates:

Seriously, when they use this shot for Ron Paul:

And this image for jackass Giuliani:

Is that really fair? I’m going to have to say no.

I think that’s a good picture of Dr. Paul. It makes him look like a serious candidate. That picture of Giuliani makes him look like a jester.

That’s true, Giuliani’s pic isn’t the best example of my point, and Dr. Paul’s pic isn’t all that bad. I guess what I’m trying to say is that Dr. Paul is the odd man out - he’s the one candidate who isn’t smiling. It just struck me as odd.

Thanks for reading, and for your comment. RP in ‘08!
