It's Anubis, one of the worst Goa'uld around. He's hanging around somewhere... probably fighting Oma Desala. For the uninitiated:

But... but... it just isn't the aftereffects of a turkey swallowing a grenade! Though I admit that would have been pretty funny if you photoshopped that in... aside from the fact that you found a picture of the aftereffects of a turkey swallowing a grenade.

Wow that went right over your head.

This is clearly NOT a mistake in touchup. This is a deliberate alteration of the eyes to give Condi that "possessed" look.

Well, I don't know about the US, but satirisation, verbal or illustrated, of the ruling body, be it government or Royalty has more or less been an anchor of British society for hundreds of years.

Yes, but you wouldn't expect something like that in a supposedly unbiased news source would you?

You are surprisingly ignorant for someone who proffesses to be of great intelligence. The earrings didn't get any lighter. You still think it was an accident. That's just pathetic.

Ah yes, so this is what politics has gotten down to.

The blatant truth is that if USA Today had done this as a conspiracy to defame Condoleeza Rice, it is possibly one of the lamest attempts in journalistic history to do so. If it was simply an error, than it was an error that has now been corrected.

And that's all. Can we shift back to more important politics now?

There are no relevant hits for 'turkey swallowing grenade'.

Someone had to do it...
