Is that a bootleg copy, a screen capture from another source, perhaps? I chose not to use the one I found because there's not much visual impact in a postage stamp. …you’re definitely much better at it than I am. 8)

The next day, realizing what a great out-of-context illustration that would make for my next political screed on the Zone, I went hunting for a high-res picture of that symbolic moment. I could find nothing, Fox had all sorts of imagery of the event on the net, but someone had the presence of mind to not make that particular one available for public use.

It was forwarded to me in an email from a friend. I suspect that it's been published somewhere, or if not, it soon will be (which is why I suspect Fox will take it down - when the libs start linking to stuff that the cons control, they tend to have a short shelf-life).
