Cheney’s glasses April 11, 2008

Okay, so I’m the first to admit I’m not Dick Cheney’s biggest fan. However, the latest “controversy” going around the web is a load of crap. First, who actually studies reflections in glasses? I understand he’s a public figure, but geez. The fact that this was headline news is ridiculous!

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, please take a look at this picture: http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/photoessays/outdoors/06.html. It is Cheney on a recent fishing trip, and he’s looking very happy. However, there is controversy about the image in his glasses (if you click on the picture, it will zoom in). Many people are convinced that this is a naked person in a tree.

Okay, I know he’s not exactly the most “politically correct” politician. I mean, let’s not forget the quail hunting trip. But seriously.. a naked person in a tree? Mmhmm.. it looks a heck of a lot like his HAND holding a FISHING ROD to me. I could maybe see where everyone is saying, “I see butt cheeks!” But in the end, no. It’s knuckles. Sorry to disappoint everyone looking for a crazy scandal. An old man with too much money went fishing, with the only naked ones present being the fish.
