Hillary Clinton's videographer selects the Gaussian blur mode

Muslims aren't the only women who prefer the veil.

In a new campaign ad, the 60-year-old Hillary Clinton manages to lament the last seven years of the Bush Administration without looking as if she's lived through it yet. The wrinkles are gone, thanks to a blurry, soft-focus video technique patented by Barbara Walters.

Hillary may protest when she's accused of playing the gender card, but would a male candidate get away with going to such extraordinary lengths to look young? And furthermore, would they be able to pull it off with such panache? Take a look at the "youthened" versions of a few candidates, and judge for yourself.
