The Next Bill Clinton? Not With A Picture Like That.

Instead of introducing him to the nation in way that might help him beat Hillary and/or Barak for the Democratic nomination in '08, this creepy, frightening -- and highly colorized -- NYT magaine cover seems to have hurt Virginia Governor Mark Warner's chances.

In a recent NPR interview, the Times explains why it altered the photograph -- and then ran a correction.

Click on the image at your own risk. In it, Warner looks like some scary combination of a Kennedy and a Schwarzenegger.

I was shocked by that image- it was almost as if the NYT Magazine was trying to make warner look like a young Richard Nixon.

looks like a circa 1970s shot resembling Tricky Dick. And I'm sure it's supposed to.

but why?
