Cheney’s bulge revealed: Pocket or package?
Photo at: http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=425

Just because it's hard to look away.

RAW STORY has acquired a scan of a rather revealing photograph shot by a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photographer Dale Guldan. According to Milwaukee Magazine, the newspaper would not let them reprint the photograph in a story about how editors overlooked the bulge in the Vice President’s pants and let the story run on the front page of their Sept. 11, 2004 Metro section. However, the photograph has made its way into the blogosphere, and thanks to Jesus’ General and Industrial Waste, we are able to reproduce it here.


We shrunk the picture to try to improve the quality since the scanned image is rather degraded. You can click the image to enlarge.


Here’s a snippet from the Milwaukee Magazine piece.



Upon closer inspection, it seems the vice president’s smile was not his biggest, ahem, asset. Is that what we think it is?


“You’re not imagining it,” Guldan says of the unintentionally revealing photo.


Guldan explains that he took between 100 and 200 photographs that day with a digital camera, chose six to eight images for possible publication and didn’t notice anything odd in the Kopp’s image because Cheney sat in the shadows. Incredibly, a “dozen or so” editors saw the photo before publication and nobody raised a red


flag, he says.


“I got a chuckle out of it when I noticed it, too. If I had noticed it sooner, I would have cropped it,” Guldan says, referring, of course, to the standard practice of trimming a photo without altering its accuracy. “I wasn’t out to put him in a negative light.”


One Journal Sentinel reader pointed out the blooper in an e-mail to WKLH-FM radio hosts Dave Luczak, Carole Caine and Kevin Brandt. Caine dug through her recycling to find the photo.


“It’s like a scud missile, for crying out loud,” Caine said.

11. You never know
that could be one of devices that the shrub was wearing during the first debate. "Keep smiling, he's taking your picture. Keep smiling."

13. it all depends ...


HealthDri garments look and feel like regular undergarments. However, they are able to offer extra absorbency and protection that previously could only be found in disposable products. These garments are one piece, and do not use any pads. The absorbent layers capture the moisture, taking it away from the skin, keeping it dry and reducing skin irritations. The breathable outer shield prevents liquids from penetrating to clothing, and also helps control any odors.

Maybe little Dick has a big bladder control problem :evilgrin:

23. When you can't control your bowels, you can get a colostomy bag
and your bowels empty into the bag.

Possibly all of Cheney's bypass operations and ongoing heart problems and medications have made the colostomy bag necessary.
