Dubya, Willya Turn the Book Over? (Clinton Lens Caps & other Phony photographs)

Bill Clinton peers through a set of binoculars, unconcerned that the lens caps are still on. Reading to a classroom of children, President Bush obliviously holds his book upside down. On an anonymous city street, Hillary Rodham Clinton impetuously lifts her shirt and flashes the camera.

A very liberal colleague emiled me the book upside down photo with a smug message about how dumb W is. I knew it was a fake photo, but now I will be delighted to send her this site address.

David Mikkelson is the co-creator of snopes.com, a site dedicated to debunking urban legends. Snopes has become ground zero for setting straight these visual myths of the Internet. He analyzes questionable photographs, searching for "artifacts" -- "blurry spots, things that don't match" and other "evidence of digital manipulation.

Testimony of the Snopes level of "proof" -- no better than anyone else with a photo editing program, yet they are "Experts, Authoratative". Ri-i-ight.

What a horrible article, editing-wise, content-wise. Tell me, anyone, based on this article, (1) Are the lens caps over Clinton's binocs said to be real or fake? (2) Is the book in Bush's hand upside down said to be real or fake?

Snopes ... trash ... wishful thinking and way over-rated. IMO.

I recieved the fake photo of Bush & the book from a lefty cousin as well, but only after I had sent him the clinton with the lens caps on photo. The clinton photo could have been real, I have picked up the binoculars, a time or two, & put them to my face only to discover the lens caps were in place. If a photographer was quick he could have caught clinton doing the same thing.

This article was written by DNC hacks to disprove the Clinton binoculars photo. They're getting ready to run him for his third Presidential term.

That is what I think too. I wrote to the writer to see if he had the original of the Clinton binoc pic without the lens caps - notice he shows the original and phony photos of Bush but not Clinton.

I'll keep you posted!

My "Liberal" brother-in-law e-mailed me the "photo" of George Bush with the binolucars covered. (He's a nice man, but he's under the influence of a "Liberal" wife.)

I e-mailed him back the cartoons of Bush at the rodeo with a hogtied donkey and of Daschle waking to find the donkey's head in his bed. (He didn't receive them. Strange. So I sent them again.)

He also told me that the Republicans want to destroy the rain forests and blah blah blah.

I asked him where he got that. He said, "I read about it in Time magazine."

I said, "No wonder you're confused. Time magazine is a propaganda rag. The only way you're going to find out what's really going on is to get the news from the internet."

He thought about it, but I'm not optimistic.

I sent him a copy of this article.

Actually, I wanted to see the pic of Hillery lifting her skirt. I suspect there is male genetalia there.

So, the plot thickens. LOL!
