Falling for it

A few days ago, the AP distributed a photo of a 3-yr-old crying because someone had ripped up her Bush sign at a Democratic rally. Touching photo...but possibly a put-up job.

It's hard to tell for sure, but TruthOut has put together an interesting pattern that suggests that the girl's father, Phil Parlock, may have staged the "assault."

It's a little thing, not worth distracting us from the real issues. But let the Google record show that there may be another side to the story.
