Shameless

[Republican Red]

It's a step up from CNN. At least there is no X over his face.

[Onelifetogive]

He has a bit of an Elvis thing happening...

[Rummyfan]

Gee, not too obvious are they? Of course if VP Cheney were to step down and say, Condi Rice take his place, they'd all have a sh*t hemorrhage!

[RegulatorCountry]

Where's the pic of Hillary! with the word "lesbian" behind her in big, purple all caps lettering? She looks rather more pleased to be there than she usually does.

[leveler]

Bias? Come on. The guy has never been seen smiling in public. You wanted them to wait till he did? :-)

[RegulatorCountry]

"Bias? Come on. The guy has never been seen smiling in public."

Look at the lettering cropped out behind him.

[Onelifetogive]

It is just pure happenstance that the word "Retire" fits exactly into the space above his head. Each letter goes exactly to the edge of the picture and no further.....pure chance.....coincidence.....

[finnman69]

[DCPatriot]

You have to love their utter stupidity.

Like a corpse that suddenly sits up in the morgue.

very creative cropping

[derllak]

Making her usual chipmunk face, I see! Maybe it means she got some the night before! :)

[Jonx6]

I missed that one, got a link?

[cubreporter]

They are like kids who don't get their way. CNN shouldn't worry. Dick Cheney WILL retire one day and will live better than CNN could ever even begin to hope for. Go Dick. Your the man.

[Sax]

Ha! Funny is funny, and this is funny. It's also funny to think the little libby punks toasting their mischief over some foo-foo drinks down at the local pub.

[cubreporter]

they are not talking about Vice President Cheney not smiling...they are talking about the RETIRE above his head. Geeeez.

[finnman69]

[Republican Red]

Bias? Come on. The guy has never been seen smiling in public. You wanted them to wait till he did? :-)

I didn't post the picture. However, maybe you didn't notice that the bias was not in the facial expression but rather the words "RETIRE" in the background.

[CT-Freeper]

Ha! Funny is funny, and this is funny

I agree...I actually laughed when I saw it.

[oolatec]

Yup... this pic is pretty funny.

[conserv13]

He is at a retirement seminar. He is the one standing in front of the words.

It could be worse, he could have been at an NRA meeting.

[r9etb]

Yeah, it's an ugly picture. However, it's not "bias" per se ... newsies have been doing this to politicians of all stripes, forever.

I remember my dad (an old newspaper guy) chuckling about it some 30 years ago, and he said then that news folks love to tweak pols that way.

[Sax]

Yeah, this childish mischief just underscores what a influencial VP he's actually been. I snickered out loud too!

[Grampa Dave]

Another example of drive by shooting by the MSM.

[newgeezer]

Of course if VP Cheney were to step down and say, Condi Rice take his place, they'd all have a sh*t hemorrhage!

That would stink (and I don't mean the hemorrhage).

[icwhatudo]

[Joy in the Journey]

Surely someone with Photo Shop can get Helen Thomas's picture up here with an appropriately cropped word above her head. . .

[mancogasuki]

Ok..that one is funny too.

[Txsleuth]

Are we sure that isn't Will Ferrell???


LOL...I love Cheney no matter what he looks like...and the dems and libs are gonna hate him no matter what he looks like.

[icwhatudo]

[JFC]

I would love to have Cheney's REITREMENT. cnn and msm is JEALOUS.

[finnman69]

[reagan_fanatic]

They missed this one...

[Huck]

lol

[3AngelaD]

Those three look like Mafia dons planning a hit. That is one scary picture.

[Pharmboy]

Reuters can kiss my Republican Conservative *ss in Macy's window.

[Babu]

ROOTERS COMMIE PINKO PUKES SUX!!

[wjersey]

Drudge finally picked up story.

[A CA Guy]

Not nearly as biased as this Muslim cartoon of Cheney.

Just makes all want to riot, huh?

[festus]

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

This is one of those cases.

[festus]

I'm ok with him going to an NRA convention as long as he doesn't handle the guns ;-)

[Berlin_Freeper]

Reuters photographers are trained to find any word or part of a word that is in the backdrop and then they crawl like an insect to get the perfect angle for their attack.

And it doesn't take much time to train them in this style of attack, as the insect aspect come very natural to them.

Maybe someday they will be able to train actual insects with tiny cameras to get the required shot. Then Reuters could save a lot of money.

[ChadGore]

The MSM would never do something like this.

Right?
