Reuters Says Bush Photo Not 'Malicious,' (Washington Post plans to run a story on it)

Any of y'all remember how quickly they scotched the picture of Hillary, running for the Senate, coming out of a bathroom with toilet paper being dragged by one foot? Where's the equality?

I've never even heard of that picture. Does anyone have it?

[kennedy]

Better than Bill Clinton passing a note that says, "Go get an intern. I need a BJ break."

[OldFriend]

Malicious is all they do!

[hershey]

Oh, sure, it's not malicious.

[Hi Heels]

Slow news day?

Lifted from the DU website:

"More like MAMMMAE!!! MAMMAE I's a gotzza go pees mammae!"
(referring to Dr. Rice)

Nothing like all-tolerant, openminded liberals.

You know that they will see it as some kind of code for "Kill the Hippies!" or something equally mental.

They think he was asking Condi's permission to go to the bathroom. Ignorant fools!

[ChadGore]

Welcome to FR. With due respect, why would any proud conservative care what liberals think ?

[kennedy]

Clinton never did, he just used the sink.

Not true. Sometimes he used an intern as a receptacle.

[Jaded]

Someone needs to destroy the DUMeth Lab. The chilrens have had a little too much this week.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Let them run the story. Making a big deal about the President using the restroom will only expose the sophomoric antics of the Left.

[beckysueb]

Of course, what Bill C. did with his private parts in the Oval Office was no big deal. But President Bush having the audacity to have to go pee, that defames our image.

Remember their mantra then? "Stay out of the presidents private life." Well they need to stay out of the presidents bladder!

Re: the Dallas am News. I used to get irritated reading them when we lived in TX, but now that my choices are the Sout FL Sun Sentinal et al, I do miss the Dallas am News. In fact, I just quit reading a morning paper. How the libs contribute to heart disease and high blood pressure!

I think this is a total invasion of the president's and condoleza's privacy.

[jhouston]

Talk about rude. Kick the Reuters contingent out of the WH press corps. Were they hoping to catch the president saying something about someone at the meeting?????

I think that's the whole point of the editor trying to take the blame. To keep the photographer from losing his White House privileges. However, if I was in charge of the White House press room, I'd never let another Reuters photog within 10 miles until they fired the editor that thought the photo was "interesting" enough to send out over the wires.

“Rick had no idea what he was shooting, or what Bush was writing,” Heeshorn said. “If Rick knew what he was writing we'd have 25 pictures of this, not two.”

And why would he have done that? If this is a simple note saying, "Pit stop, I'll be right back," why is that newsworthy? Why would he want 25 pictures of that? More and more, the media sicken me.

an accidental photo of President Bush at the United Nations on Wednesday, writing a note to Secretary of State Condeezza Rice about a “bathroom break,” was indeed real

OMG - Next you will be telling me he puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us....

[bray]

So you have a hundred "reporters" in a room that has had $100 Billion embezzelled and this is what they "report"!! No wonder the New Press is handing them their Heads!

I guess no one at the Wapo ever had to take a leak. They didnt get all excited when Gore drank too much tea and had to go.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Only in the MSM could, the President of the United States wanting to take a pee break be news. I guess the Depends wearing liberals just urinate & defecate in their drawers. OTOH, explains their foul and putrid odor.
