IE8 CSS Text Spacing Issue

I'm running into a CSS text justify issue in ie8 and need to create a ie8 specific rule to address the issue, but haven't been able to figure it out.

The page & text is supposed to look like so: Link to Page (Use modern browser like Chrome / Safari / Firefox).

Img attached showing ie8 messed up spacing.enter image description here

CSS

/*Fancybox Gallery Divs*/


#thumbs {   
    width: 960px;
    margin-top:20px;
    margin-left: auto; 
    margin-right: auto;
    text-align: justify;
    -ms-text-justify: distribute-all-lines;
    text-justify: distribute-all-lines;
}

#thumbs a {
    vertical-align: top;
    display: inline-block;
    *display: inline;
    zoom: 1;
}

.stretch {
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0
}

/*Descriptions*/


#desc-wrapper {
    width: 960px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    margin-left: auto; 
    margin-right: auto;
    text-align: justify;
    -ms-text-justify: distribute-all-lines;
    text-justify: distribute-all-lines;
}

.description {
    float:left;
    width: 320px; // Increase/decrease width for margin between images
    height: 25px;
    text-align: center;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

.clear {
    clear:both;
}

The culprit is:

text-justify: distribute-all-lines;

on the #desc-wrapper (which, by the way, is a repeated ID, this should be a class). Either remove it from both media.css and media-ie8.css (not sure why it's necessary) or override it in media-ie8.css to auto. Seriously, though, it's an IE-only property. Just remove it?

well, you need to add a conditional comment as your ie-css is being overridden by the regular media.css

<!--[if IE 8]>
your stuff
<![endif]-->
