Jamie O\\\’Neill, I don’t think it’s photoshopped. If you click through to the larger version of the photo (two successive clicks), you will see that the thumb belongs to the guy on the right, and the visible fingers belong to the woman on the left. Their arms are sort of entwined as they both hold the sign while gazing adoringly at each other to demonstrate their heterosexual superiority.

Have you looked at the guy’s thumb in the photograph? No way he’s holding that sign. If he is, it’s a pre-prehensile grip. And looking closely at others in the photo, they all seem photoshopped. Is it me, or is nothing real anymore?

The lack of small donations could also stem from fear of having their names released to the public later on.

ps – that’s not to denigrate in any way the great work of Washington United and their accomplishment in raising a heartening amount, much of it in small contributions.

I agree with Steve. Their money is being “bundled” or whatever you want to call it by the outside groups. I’d bet NOM or KoC or whatever already has a couple of seven-figure checks from the likes of Tom Monahan just sitting in a drawer waiting to be dropped in the account at a strategic moment.

I recall that back when Karl Rove was starting his Crossroads super pac, Rachel Maddow got all happy and snarky because his first public report showed a minuscule amount contributed. And who’s laughing now?

NOM and the Catholic Church will soon drop in a couple of millions in one swoop
