Women Erased From Historic Moment

Hasidic newspaper Der Tzitung doesn't seem to be comfortable with the fact that Hillary Clinton exists — they photoshopped her out of the now-famous shot of President Obama and his aides watching the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound! If it was just Hillary, we could maybe give them the benefit of the doubt, but they also removed Audrey Tomason, the much-discussed mystery woman who was standing in the back of the room. This is obviously insane, but what seems most bizarre is that they went to the trouble of doing this elaborate and very noticeable photoshop job. If they really couldn't stand to show the ladies, why didn't they just crop the photo so it only showed Obama's side of the table. Pro tip for next time, Der Tzitung!
