I do agree. The photo I've seen from the GQ shoot looked an awful lot like 
the video tape. It can't be that she didn't know what they were going to 
look like - she's on the set, _wearing no pants_ and it's for _GQ_ -- it's 
not like Jill Greeberg's malicious post-processing of John McCain. I haven't 
read her complaints, so I'm only speculating, but from what I saw of that 
video and the final shot, it looks like she knew what was going on. And like 
someone else pointed out, she's not a political or media novice. And I don't 
think the photos are unflattering at all. They're not racy, though they are 
provocative, which is the sad thing -- the connotation of doing a photo 
shoot like that is specifically to drag the John Edwards affair back into 
the limelight -- which I expect GQ to do, it's their job -- but I think "No 
I won't pose with no pants on, thanks for asking" is the appropriate 
response out of respect for a former lover.
