NEW YORK In what seems to be destined to become one of the most yacked about photos of the month, if not year, a Reuters photographer today seems to have captured President George W. Bush scribbling a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggesting that he needed to take a "bathroom break" during a session at the United Nations.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Bush has bodily functions! Impeach him NOW!!!

[Arpege92]

Well it's a wonder he needed a bathroom break. With all of the bullshiite going on in the UN, it's enough to make anyone puke.

[Izzy Dunne]

So why does your link go to a completely different story?

[atomicpossum]

They were hoping he wrote "I hate you, Black Person."

[muawiyah]

Those Reuters reporters never use toilets. They just pack it in~!

[spycatcher]

Not only a poor editorial choice, but the photo is deceptive on top of that.

Perfect MSM B.S. storm

[Ladysmith]

Explains why they're always full of it.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

He didn't write that part of the note. That's not his handwriting.

God help me, I hate the media.

[MinuteGal]

That memo will surface out of Durbin's pocket tomorrow in the Roberts hearing.

[Americanwolf]

Seriously though why does rueter think this is news worthy?

[Obadiah]

Low-life media. Was it REALLY necessary to publish that, or was it published simply to make Bush look weak or dumb? Is that picture ANYWHERE near approaching something newsworthy? No, of course not, but we know the MSM's agenda. Pathetic.

[DaveLoneRanger]

The President pees like the rest of us...I'm SHOCKED.

[atomicpossum]

In the past, this kind of thing would be considered bad form. But it's Bush, so decency is out the window.

[Rebelbase]

It was mentioned on another thread that Bush is left handed.

[359Henrie]

I would have relived myself on the carpet as the smell would have been covered by the background stench.

[longtermmemmory]

fake story?

[Echo Talon]

Another beauty from the Reuters photographers...

[Doctor Raoul]

Could that be called "Yellow Journalism?"

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Original doesn't seem to work.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I'm curious who they let in there with cameras that can zoom that close.

[bill1952]

Yeah, this is real news... Yawn.

I'm surprized they aren't calling for impeachment.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Is this like that secret prompting device he wore during the 2004 debates?

[groanup]

Your links have nothing to do with the thread.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

relived

What would you have come back as? :-)

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

For all we know...it could be "code" to Condi for wanting to signal something to her like 'they're full of ..." and that's their code cause he couldn't write what he really wanted to share with her.

[Obadiah]

Wait a minute. The bathroom text is printed. The person writing the note has different handwriting and is writing in cursive. What's going on here. Are we being hoodwinked?

[CAluvdubya]

That was an error. Bush 41 is left handed. 42 is right handed. HBM (Has been media) at it's finest. If this is the best they can do against Bush, they have some serious problems coming to them.

[My2Cents]

Had it been Clinton, he would have passed a note to the babe in the French delegation reading, "Care to take a sink break?"

[Dog]

Izzy its a real story...I saw the photo in question over on another site.

[spycatcher]

Notice how excited the E&P staff is. What a bunch of children. nad they don't even realize they didn't catch ChimpyBushMcHitler asking for a potty break.

They're mocking a black woman for needing to use the restroom

[atomicpossum]

IF THIS IS BUSH-- could he be writing a reply to someone who was asking HIM for a break?

[ShihanRob]

1) Why is this "news?",

2) Should I feel concerned that a photographer can get a photo of what the President is writing to his Sec of State? Did we doge a bullet, in that it could have been something sensitive?

From another thread:

[Mr. Jazzy]

The notes from William Jefferson Clip-on all said "I think I need another BJ, now!"

to tell them what you think of their photo's.

[Spunky]

That picture and note is a phoney.

He would have never written that many words. He would have just said; "Gotta Pee" or "Gotta Poop"

[popdonnelly]

Isn't this a little intrusive? Ah, the news media, acting like little chidren - except some little children have manners.

[Xenophobic Alien]

What? Should he have raised his hand and asked for permission to go?

What friggin idiots.

[Echo Talon]

I think the cameraman just got a new zoom lens and he is showing off... :D

[popdonnelly]

Isn't it odd that Reuters can publish Bush's note, but they can't publish that Arafat had aids?

[rineaux]

did not see the picture either. but I did like the one with the texas game wardens stoping a mail truck with about 7 evacuee's at the bottom of the page.

[spycatcher]

Exactly.

[Mr. Mojo]

Wait a minute. The bathroom text is printed. The person writing the note has different handwriting and is writing in cursive. What's going on here. Are we being hoodwinked?

Possibly. ...and good eye.

But even if it's legit why in the world would anyone care about the President having to go to the bathroom? Anyone who does care is certifiably insane, frankly.

[BunnySlippers]

OMG! He goes to the bathroom!

[digger48]

"Pardon me while I whip this out"

[DocRock]

Anyone remember right after the election when CNN and Netscape hosted pics on their main page that were titled "Moron" and "@$$hole"?

This picture of a note reminds me of the bias of the liberal media. Let me rephrase that. The "in your face, cram it down your throat, indoctrinate your children" liberal media.

Fingers faster than the mind. You can guess what I mean, where's that dictionary.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Hmm. Try this one.
