Darth Cheney's sunglasses...

[Growler]

WARNING: Dick Cheney picture alert!

Okay, maybe I've gone bonkers, but check out this photo of Cheney from his OWN whitehouse.gov page:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/photoessays/outdoors/06.html

Notice anything... interesting... reflected in his sunglasses? Something that has little to do with conventional "fly-fishing"?

PS: I don't want to say what I think is reflected there, because I don't want to influence any opinions.



note: edited to include pic.

1. Holy crap

What/Who is that?

[NightWatcher]

2. what the hell is that?

[SpiralHawk]

3. Ye Olde Hawkeye spied a glimmer of Dickie "Five Military Deferments" soul:

[Sanity Claws]

4. That is odd

But what is the reflection? At first, I thought it was a naked man in a rowboat. Then, with the head atilt, it looked like one of the Abu Grab prisoners.
Something not quite right with that man.

[Growler]

6. agree with "naked"

I agree with "naked in a rowboat", but honestly it looks like a young woman to me. Of course that could be my own sexist prejudices.... :D

[tekisui]

5. Looks like a nekkid couple boinking.

[Harry Monroe]

7. It looks naked and human!!

WTF!! Maybe he was getting a little nookie at government expense. Or it could be a naked detainee from Gitmo or Abu Gharib. That explains the smile; the sick old fucker is getting off watching him/her being tortured.

I hope this piece of shit (Cheney) rots in hell!!

[CatWoman]

10. no wonder the bastard is smiling

:)

[JanusAscending]

29. Have you heard the news today?

We "sucker" taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for his continued secret service protection after he leaves office !!!:wtf: I would say that he knows how much the Country HATES HIM !! NOT MY TAX DOLLARS!

[loveable liberal]

8. Quack Quack torture quack quack quack....

[elehhhhna]

9. K&R I think it's a guy with his hands clasped aroound the

back of his neck. Gannon, izzat you?

[Sanity Claws]

11. Something to forward to Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert

They might have fun with it.

[seemslikeadream]

12. .......

[Growler]

18. shirtless boy?

When you zoom in that far it looks like a shirtless kid wearing a tiny life-preserver.

[MisterP]

39. it's a sacrificial victim being fed to the Macra n/t

[riverdeep]

13. The right side (facing us) seems distorted,

but the left side seems to show the naked torso (and maybe more) of a man facing Cheney. Someone with advanced photo imaging software could probably make out better.

[lutefisk]

14. I think I see bush...

:wow:

[DesertRat]

15. Maybe we're just reading something into it.

If it were something nefarious in the reflection, would it be on his official webpage? Btw, it looks like a naked woman to me.
Paging Dr. Freud...

[Growler]

17. Entirely possible

I agree that I'm possibly reading something into the photo. I just wanted some extra opinions. :)

[gateley]

28. It's a cigar. nt

[DCKit]

16. A partially dismembered human corpse on a tarp?

Nah, he'd have a bigger smile. Probably be dancing too.

[elehhhhna]

27. lol

sick AND funny.

[Quantess]

38. I can't believe myself. I just L'dOL at your post!

I must have a twisted sense of humor.

[magellan]

19. I don't think it's big enough to be a person

It looks more like something on the side of the pier or boat...wherever he is. Maybe wooden with a rope on it.

[bluesmail]

20. the kid has got some ding dong, Oh, never mind.

[DemoTex]

21. Ray-Ban shooting glasses: duck & cover!

[MADem]

58. Love that HUNT CLUB graphic! nt

[ORDagnabbit]

22. whatever happened to that story back in the 80's about child prostitutes and republicans?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. It looks like a naked hooded figure, hands bound behind the back with a huge bug

going to eat him/her. I wish I had a program that could zoom in and correct the rough pixels.

[sammythecat]

24. I see dead people.

[lonestarnot]

25. Old lech!

[Contrary1]

26. With the disclosed fact that I've had a few...

I see something with a tail, horns and a long penis.

I need to sober up!
Well...maybe later. :spray:

[Olney Blue]

30. Lynne got a boob job?

[RT Atlanta]

31. scary

looks an awful lot like the sheriff with sunglasses from "Cool Hand Luke"

[Poiuyt]

35. That was my thought too

[madokie]

32. young nekked big boobed girl

maybe girls

[NMDemDist2]

33. looks like he's got his hand up a monkey's butt. Like it's a puppet

just saying.....


:evilgrin:

[RedCappedBandit]

34. My immediate reaction was that somebody was flipping him off.

Upon closer inspection, I realize thats not the case. however, somebody SHOULD be flippin him off ;)

[GuvWurld]

36. going a little out on a limb here...

I'm not sure if this is really possible, but to me it looks like the reflections are not the same on both sides. On the left (his right eye) there is a horizontal yellow line that appears aligned with the back of the thigh of the body-like shape. On the right (his left eye), that same horizontal line appears aligned lower down on the leg. Could there be two figures, each casting a reflection in just one of the glasses panes?

[DesertRat]

37. Growler,

After all of these responses, can you tell us what you think it is?

[bonito]

40. Here

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

42. Spoilsport. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

43. Aw, heck...........

Thanks for sharpening it up!

[Sanity Claws]

44. That took the fun out of it

Can we at least criticize his grip?

[riverdeep]

45. Thank you.

This place was starting to resemble those people who find Jesus in a tortilla. But it's funny that most of us (including me) believe he's totally capable of some sick shit, knowing his M.O.

[Quantess]

46. Aw, cmon'. It's all in fun.

How often can any of us laugh (in a good way) at what Cheney's doing?

[DesertRat]

47. Thanks

The speculation was a lot more interesting than the real thing.

[Growler]

48. Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying!

[uppityperson]

49. what the heck is that?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

50. Someone holding a fishing rod and metal rails of a boat. Oh well......

[uppityperson]

51. It's an arm with white shirt, and hand holding pole. Hand has ridges on it.

Got it. I was trying to make it into a whole person. thank you.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. Bonito did a great job sharpening it up. I was looking at it yesterday for about 15 minutes

(the original enlarged) and even saw a sitting poodle wearing a clown hat!

:rofl:

[bonito]

54. I found it on reddit

A neat place to surf.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

57. Good find! It was funny, another thread was started this morning and I unfortunately had to

burst their collective bubble. It was fun while it lasted though! :)

[crispini]

55. LOL.

Dang!

[Ian David]

59. Oh, man! It's someone's hand!

[Richard Steele]

41. It's Satan. I'm not kidding.

Not even a little.

[peekaloo]

53. choking a chicken?

explains the "smile"

[krispos42]

56. He's recreating this famous scene...

:rofl:

[M1NDSW33P3R]

61. THE REAL CHENEY REFLECTION PHOTO!!

NAKED WOMEN ? I THINK NOT!

[warrior1]

60. deleted

[riverdeep]

62. See what you've done?!?

This thing has made the rounds.

'On DemocraticUnderground.com, the discussion starts with this question: "Notice anything ... interesting ... reflected in his sunglasses? Something that has little to do with conventional 'fly-fishing'?"'

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/33328.html

Apparently though, many others had the same idea.

'It wasn't just the blogosphere. On a Web site called sportsshooter.com, dedicated to sports photography, professionals also did a double take and debated the shot on their message board.
