Look in the background and you will see that the cord in the background appears to come from the floor. In the second photo, you will see that it actually is attached to the left side of the desk phone in the background.
So, no, it's not a wall phone and no, the cord isn't coming from the floor.
Please tell me you were just kidding....LOL!
In the big photo Bush has a cell phone to his ear, in the smaller photo, same Bush pose, he has a land line phone. So which is it?
In the big photo, Karl Rove has been photo shopped into it..............
And as a side note, that's not the oval office. I'd be willing to bet that that photo was taken prior to Bush taking office..............and before Rove was added to it........Sheesh!
