Wire Service Pictures of Sarah Palin

[more professional photojournalism]

Is this an appropriate picture of Gov. Sarah Palin published by Reuters Wednesday?


Or how 'bout this one from the Associated Press also published Wednesday?


Or how 'bout this twofer from AP (could be Cindy McCain's legs in foreground)?

Are these appropriate pictures from major wire services?

Would women's groups tolerate these kinds of pictures if this was a Democrat candidate?
