Spin, Drudge, Spin! so it's CONDI who wrote "need a bathroom break"
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 12:37 PM by npincus
Ha! Ha! Ha! Looks like the WH is EMBARRASSED... and they're spinning this one like a top!

Caption (link): "President scribbling note to Condolezza, WHO ASKS 'I may need a bathgroom break'...

I know I'll get shit from someone here about going to Drudge, but I believe in knowing my enemies.

2. The hand that's doing the writing
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 12:42 PM by rocknation
looks awfully pale to be Condi's...

But this is easy enough to settle--just ask the photographer if he witnessed Condi writing something and passing it to President Potty Stop just before he took the picture!

:crazy:

15. Here's the answer!!!
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 07:32 PM by rocknation
(Reuters news editor Gary) Hershorn...says he's responsible for zooming in on the note and deciding to transmit the photo...He says (photographer Rick) Wilking didn't know what the note said...

Wilking was one of several photographers covering the United Nations Security Council meeting...(from) a balcony that faced Bush's back...Wilking shot about 200 images (and) sent ...(them) to...where Hershorn was working...Hershorn looked at the images...(and) started to wonder about a note that Bush was seen writing...(H)e zoomed in to see if he could read it... a Reuters processor used Photoshop (to darken the writing)...the picture was not manipulated in any other way.

...Hershorn says Wilking saw Bush write the note and hand the note to Rice.

Sorry, Drudge!

On edit: It turns out that Drudge now has a link to this very story. He tries to mop up by insinuating, "Reuters has Acknowledged Bush 'Potty Note' Photo was Enhanced via Photoshop." But I don't see any acknowledgement or retraction of their earlier report that CONDI wrote it!

6. No, asking him if he needs to pee. Like he's a 4 year old!

5. In defense of Drudge...
Wow! How often do you get to type that?

Anyway, I will say that the handwriting on the part after the question looks somewhat different than the handwriting of the question itself. So it could be that Condi write the question, then Bush is writing after the question. Just sayin'.

7. No matter what
These people are writing each other notes about their potty problems. I know I will tell my husband when we are on a trip, "I need a bathroom break.", but anybody else I would say, "I need to stop for a few minutes." Or "I will be back in five."

9. Was it live?
It can easily be solved if someone saw him/her go to the bathroom. You cant spin a preznits toilet asking break. its still embarassing for either of them.
