There are just some things out there on the Internet that you can't un-see

This isn't Photoshop. It's real.

From commerical photographer Chris Buck, (whose photography is quite good, BTW). I believe this is from a spread he did of McGovern for Newsweek. You can see his website here at ChrisBuck.com.

Let's hope we don't have to look at your husband then. What a tacky picture to allow anyone to post. Old George must be proud of this ghastly picture.

It's not tacky you prude. It's awesome. He's clearly happy about himself. Rightfully so. He looks great for his age.

I say, more power to him. How many men do you know who can still fit into their military uniforms from long ago?

Is McGovern now the "Speedo Bandito?"

No prude here but I don’t like to look at ugly things and this offends my sensibilities.

Those saggy old boobs and that flabby belly are not anything I care to see. Ick!

You’d think a guy McGovern’s age would have brains enough to cover himself a little better while he’s out in public, although that background certainly looks like it was taken inside. Looks to me like he posed for the camera.

I don’t care if he runs around his house or the local nudist colony stark naked, I just don’t want to have to look at it.

Speedo Brandito? Good one!

The picture was taken 10 years ago. August 18, 1996. PP do you have permission to use it?

To my knowledge, it's covered under Fair Use Doctorine of 17 U.S.C. § 107, ..

the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

Regardless, if there was an objection from the author, it's not as if I'd fight it, either.

I'm not reproducing it for profit (god knows, it's not for profit, I have to pay my yearly RSS feed aggregator bill tomorrow)

(If you didn't notice, I did offer my words of encouragement to the readers as well, in hopes that people will go review his other works.)

Old age isn't pretty, people. If you don't like to look at ugly things, you had better plan on saving up for lots of continuous plastic surgery or else you will need to get rid of your mirrors. I would guess there are a lot of elderly widows you would be tickled to death to look at their flabby, saggy husbands again if they could. Can we all say the word SUPERFICIAL?

They superimposed McGovern's head on the photo that won Jamie Lee Curtis all the acclaim a couple years ago.

This picture is 10 years old? Oh my word!! Can you only imagine what George must look like now?

Please tell us he no longer poses for photographers in his unmentionables?

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
