NEW YORK In what seems to be destined to become one of the most yacked about photos of the month, if not year, a Reuters photographer today seems to have captured President George W. Bush scribbling a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggesting that he needed to take a "bathroom break" during a session at the United Nations.

He should have farted in their general direction, which would be the genteel european way, or just stood up and p--d on them, which would have been the more genuinely sincere approach.

Sure does look like the "may need a bathroom" part was added in. Rest of note is printed neatly. I wonder who is going to get the ax for making up the news again? Maybe we need to have another "jihad" on the MSM?

Hey... Drudge talks about it on his website... I'm not sure what he is saying.
Is he implying that Condi wrote the actual note and Bush is responding to her request for a bathroom break? Don't understand Drudge's comment (link)...

He's trying to be like Al Gore. When something nasty comes up he'll say he drank too much ice tea and went to the bathroom!

The note looks Photoshopped to me... looks like the lettering was scanned and dropped in. Zoom in all the way on the lettering and notice the gray pixels around the letters and how the rest of the note is completely void of pixels.

Who the heck has the time to sit around and mock up this garbage?

What a bunch of BS... this stuff belongs in the National Enquirer along with the three-headed babies, except it's not nearly as interesting.

Those Reuters reporters never use toilets. They just pack it in~!

Should be the standard reply to any democrat -- "So you pack it in? Guess I always knew you were full of it."

The words in the message use the more tentative language often used by women: "I think I may need a bathroom break?" Ending a declarative statement with a question mark is also more characteristic of women. I cannot imagine Pres. Bush having written the first note.

You're right - they did the same thing to Ronald Reagan - they tried to make him look like stupid also. Only now they have Bushisms.

I went to the Reuters site that has the photo - and the funny thing is that in the picture the number of people who voted for the photo is hugely higher (396) than the previous picture (10)or the following one (11) - does that seem fishy to you all?

Check it out for your self and then contact them:

You're right, I do that all the time. Now the President will have to cower down to even write something in case of a photographer behind him!!

At least you can't tell by the picture who it is.

But did he have to go number one or number two?
