Cheney, naked-lady reflection big news

5 comments April 11th, 2008

In this biz, we have slow news days. Today must be one of ‘em. The Associated Press, other national media and bloggers are going nuts over this photograph of VP Dick Cheney.

The photo, which was posted on the White House Web site, shows Cheney wearing sunglasses. Here’s the story from AP:

Cheney sunglasses show reflection that some think is naked woman
It’s not

WASHINGTON — Get real, people.

That is not a naked woman reflected in Vice President Dick Cheney’s sunglasses. Although it kind of appears to be.

If you blow up the picture, you can see it is Cheney’s hand gripping the handle of a fishing rod.

The picture was posted on the White House Web site as one in a series of photos of Cheney outdoors. It created a buzz on the Internet on Friday and some cable television shows.

I don’t see it, but the image ignited discussions across the WWW.

We could have posted this as a news story on rrstar.com. Decided it against it. Even though we’re having a slow news day.

Instead, I posted the story here on the blog to see what you all think. Is this news?
