That’s not what “Photobombing” means…

The Daily Caller ran this headline and image above on their front page about this news item. Weird, right? That image of the woman outside the window is Congresswoman Wasserman Shultz and it is photoshopped. But it looks real, right? I wonder how many were fooled… Anyway – the point they were trying to make was that of the contents of this news item:

Democratic campaign officials are fighting to get onto the GOP’s Iowa podium, because they’re hoping to jostle the GOP candidates, trip up Mitt Romney and color the public’s image of the Republican coalition and the eventual winner.

Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, where she’s expected to slam Romney as an out-of-touch elitist.

Brad Woodhouse, the DNC’s communications chief, was in the state Jan. 1. He worked to damage the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign by trying to shape reporters’ coverage of Romney‘s win or loss in the race.

“Romney has now predicted a win tomorrow. He’s been running for 5 years, is all in here and has spent millions to win. He sure better,” said a Monday evening tweet from Woodhouse.

Democrats also showed off their Iowa general-election organization in the hope of a getting favorable comparisons to the Republicans’ ill-funded, ramshackle campaigns.

The New York Times displayed a flattering video of campaign volunteers hard at work, but also downplayed Obama’s use of Wall Street donations to portray itself as a champion of Iowa’s middle class.

Okay. so… fine.. but I’m still calling fowl on the use of the term Photo-bombing with this photoshopped example of a photo-bomb. For context, here is a genuine photo-bomb below:
