Originally published at: SLIDESHOW: 10 Pictures Of Pete Hegseth From The ‘Unflattering’ Batch The Pentagon Reportedly Doesn’t Want You To See - TPM – Talking Points Memo

These may be the last press photos of U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth that we see for a while. On March 2, roughly two days after the U.S. and Israel launched their war against Iran, Secretary of Defense/War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, held a press…

It’s the wrinkled shirt.

He looks like a macho jerk in over his head in full bluster. Situation nominal. Can’t see whether his shoes don’t fit.

they made Rumsfeld look worse, although that was not difficult.

Do we think it’s the war crimes or the stress of having a real job that is getting to him. He does not look well. He’s aged 10 years and put on a least a stone in his face. Surely he knows that Trump only let him have the gig because he looked good on tv and is worried about his job security as he looks worse and worse each day.

So they’re upset that the pictures make him look like an ugly, spiteful, vindictive, angry piece of shit?

Maybe if they allow retouching…

Hey, Pete! Snowflake much? You fn insecure crybaby.

And just think how many more people will see the pics now that a big thing has been made of it. You thought this one out almost as bad as the planning for the war.

It’s dependence on hair gel and maybe his bordering on “jazz hands”.

He’s a homely looking middle aged white guy with greasy gray hair. What does he expect to look like?

Nothing screams flattering like this one.

Oooooooooh! Flat. Ter. Ing! :roll_eyes:

The photos seem pretty innocuous. Neither here nor there.

But if he is developing a budding sense of self-awareness, he’s a goner.
How will he glibly lie if he realizes he looks like a glib liar? That way lies madness.

150 dead Iranian school girls that didn’t do anything against the USA. From the missiles that he sent. The only words from his office are that it’s still under investigation.

And this crybaby is worried about how pretty the pictures of him are.

He seems like a good fit for this administration.

I guess they’ll just have to use pictures of Kegsbreath throwing an axe at a Revolutionary War drummer from now on.

Also, that Pisco-packin’ Pete is sensitive about how he’s viewed isn’t much of a surprise considering one of his first acts was to have a complete wardrobe/makeup room installed. You know, like every other completely unqualified Department of Defense honcho.

Are Hegseth and the Sham Wow guy brothers? Alter egos? Divided in the womb with brains going to Shamwow? Each with half rations of brains, double ration of lack of self awareness? Both excessively irradiated and caffeinated late night sales network pitch people?

It does seem like sales is a big part of his job.

The problem is that Hegseth lacks the discipline required by his position. He wants to spin events to reflect manliness and strength, but gets ahead of the facts. He wants media that has no memory and that will not point out when he utters lies or makes unfounded claims. Hegseth needs to step aside for his and our good.
