Michelle Malkin et al clued me on a conspiracy against Condi Rice:

See a difference there? There is a lot of speculation about why USA Today chose to do this. Some implying it’s political, some racial. Me, I don’t have a clue. Here’s the headline that accompanied the pic:
If I had to speculate anything at all, it would be that they wanted to give her an appearance of steely determination. However, the first picture does that better I think. The second pic just gives her the impression of, well, having her picture doctored.
We’re all waiting with anxious breath for USA Today’s explanation.
In the meantime, some people ( read Independent Sources ), are amusing us with their ideas of why and how Condi got doctored.
However, IMO, Bad Astronomy touched on what is happening here.
Notice who’s missing? Now, Zod would look normally look a LOT more sinister than Condi Rice. That is, until USA Today ran that pic. Now, to put it in total perspective, Zod is apparently running AGAINST Condi. As much as Condi denies it, we know better. Zod knows better. Apparently, USA Today knows better as well and are doing something about it. They’re out to make Zod look more personable than Condi. I’m not buying it. I don’t even know what party Zod belongs to. And, as I’ve always said, stick with the demon you know before trusting the angel you don’t.
And from what I’ve seen and heard, Zod is no angel. Don’t let USA Today convince you otherwise.

This is a hoot!
USA Today has replaced the zombi pic of Condi Rice and offered this explanation:
Editor’s note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that
originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY’s editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice’s face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.
