possible homo/bi-sexuality is irrelevant and that photo is more telling about the nature of that website: News Busters which admits it is there to be "making fun of liberals and the media" and have been frequently accused of
photoshopping.

Its not a photoshop because you can see the moment in video footage, a quick clip can be seen on the TMZ link above.
So not a photoshop.
All of the media had that footage.

But thanks for drawing my attention to Newsbusters/MRC newly re-launched campaign to provide "balance" (FOX News style).
Well your attempt to turn this into a two party thing does not stack up here, first of all i already mentioned we can see that moment on video, which all of the media had.
Second of all, when it comes to Hilary Clinton and Exxon Mobil...it was actually Hilary Clinton defending Exxon recently and criticising Republican policy that would result in Exxon losing out in Papua New Guinea...so by all appearances, Hilary is more of a friend to Exxon than the Republicans.
China wants to elbow oil giant Exxon Mobil out of a $15 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Papua New Guinea, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday in an example of the new competition Beijing presents to U.S. interests.
Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Republican proposals to cut the U.S. foreign affairs budget would hit U.S. efforts to compete with China's rising power on the global stage.
"Exxon Mobil is producing it. China is in there every day, in every way, trying to figure out how its going to come in behind us, come in under us," she said.

Not that i subscribe to the two party paradigm anyway...exxon has contributed to both Romney and Obama...and Obama is just continuing the Bushes work in the ME.
Both former Democrat and Republican congressman have been lobbyists for Exxon

And the clinton administration was no foe of Exxon...
ExxonMobil Corp. is one of the world’s biggest energy companies, involved in virtually every segment of the energy sector from coal mining and electricity to the production, exploration and marketing of oil and gas. hide
The company long has enjoyed a close relationship with Congress, successfully lobbying to gain commercial access to federal lands as well as the rollback of several Environmental Protection Agency initiatives deemed unfriendly to the oil industry. Perhaps the company’s biggest coup, however, was winning federal support for its very creation. In 1999, lawmakers were initially hesitant to allow Exxon to purchase Mobil because of antitrust concerns, but after heavy lobbying from both sides, not to mention the support of President Bill Clinton, the merger was approved and the nation’s No. 1 supplier of gasoline was created. As oil prices have soared in recent year, so have ExxonMobil's profits and executive salaries.

So no I dont think 'newsbusters' was out to get Hilary on this one.
Sorry to raise something, apparently controversial, then disappear - duty called.
