In a not-so-surprising move on the part of CNN/Netscape employees, they placed an image of President Bush and his wife Laura on their CNN.Netscape.CNN.com homepage (see middle image below), and named the photo image 'asshole.jpg.' The photo has since been renamed and by 9:30AM, asshole.jpg was removed from their server. This story first posted by Paul at WizBangBlog.com.
