At first I thought Gerard must be doing his own Photoshop, mocking The Atlantic's anti-McCain bias.

But he isn't. John McCain sat for a photo-shoot at the studio of Beverly Hills photographer Jill Greenberg for The Atlantic Monthly. Photographer Greenberg apparently had some fun with the out-takes, and not only did she waste McCain's time with intentionally ill-lit extra shots, but she posted the manipulated shots on her professional web site and then bragged about what she had done online! Classless? Tasteless? Unprofessional?

Questions: What will her client The Atlantic have to say about it? Was she so sure that the client shared her views that she didn't need to worry and could throw judgment to the wind, or that she's so surrounded by hate for Republicans that she didn't imagine there would be consequences (after all, "everyone I know hates John McCain")...or even have second thoughts about what she was doing?

Update: Via the comments at American Digest, this is the same woman who abuses kids so she can get photos of them crying. Yeah, I would say a sense of propriety is likely beyond her.
