The usually unflappable Rice was wide-eyed when she was shown a copy of the photo yesterday during a meeting with The Post editorial board.
"Oh, my goodness . . . there are no secrets," she said, laughing.
Rice explained that when Bush handed her the note, she told him all he had to do was get up and go, and that she'd take his seat while he answered nature's call.
The Security Council session continued uninterrupted during Bush's brief absence.

I thought Cheney had that.
;-)
I know, I read......
"She hates pain"
IMO, she is doing a poor impersonation of a human.
Clinton would have asked for a warm hand.
Maybe the MSM should read the kids book, "Everyone Poops".
Which paper will be first to get the urinal pic?
BJ Who?
"Which paper will be first to get the urinal pic?"
Yeah, if this qualifies as a "story," then a web cam mounted under the lip of a urinal to catch the Presidential Johnson (not to be confused with President Johnson. Well......) cannot be far behind.
I wonder if Reuters was so convinced of the President's divinity that they thought he never went to the bathroom?
One good thing it shows though: even a story as lame as this bumps BullSheehan off the newspapers! LOL!
He should of got up, dropped his drawers on the Floor of the UN in front of everyone, and urinated and defecated right there, then go to the mike and tell the thugs and goons at the UN to shove it.
LOL
I had a feeling the President and the Secretary of State could handle this silliness.
No! We conclusively proved that was not Condi's writing. Either the Post is lying or Condi is.
Yes, I kidding.
Gore was Vice President so I think it would have to be him. Don't worry, Cheney will keep him in line.

Clearly indicates that segments of the photo were "burned". In other words, they couldn't produce the whole text so they enhanced it with this technique. That is not saying it was doctored in terms of content, but the entire thing was not treated in the same fashion. Imagine what one could do by "burning" some portions of a photo; let's say, areas of the face?

Exactly that you can really screwup a womans makeup with photoshop or you can give John Kerry an Orange hue. BUT, the orange hue was REAL! LOL
I don't get it either. Being elected to the Office of the Presidency doesn't mean you don't have to visit your other office from time to time.
Could have been worse, it could have been Clinton's note: "I think I may need a bathroom break? Madeleine, you got twenty bucks on you?"
Clinton would have written a note indicating that he needed to get back to his desk at the Oval Office.
>>According to the person who did the Photoshopping, "This is a standard practice for news photos... and the picture was not manipulated in any other way.
According to a Washington-based Reuters editor, the particular type of editing done is NOT permitted. "We have corporate rules against that and anybody who did that would be, would be fired immediately." <<
I was a staff artist at the Dallas Times Herald back in the late eighties, and my friend is currently art director at the Dallas Morning News. Both newspapers had STRICT rules against the use of Photoshop in news photos, for legal reasons.
From what I understand, Photoshop was used in this case, a violation of standard ethics. But who says journalists have ethics anyway?
