Nope...not enhanced at all.

I should apologize to the moderator for posting it. I've been on threads before that got pulled because the conversation got out of hand. I noticed they pulled the post with the picture, which is okay. It wasn't really germaine to the topic, I was just being silly.

It is just when it comes to the topic of the SandBurgler and that crowd, I have to do something to lighten it up, otherwise I feel anger.

About the picture, there is a whole story that is kind of funny. Cheney had stopped at a famous frozen custard place (in Minnesota or Wisconsin, I think) on a campaign tour. When he arrived, the owner offered him a cup of the product, which Cheney proceeded to eat after he had sat down. There was a photographer and reporter from a regional paper doing an article on Cheney for the glossy feature insert for their Sunday edition. The photographer took the picture and submitted it along with others. It was chosen and placed on the front of the insert, and nobody noticed the...er..."artifact" until after it was printed and distributed. They actually sent people around to try and retrieve the insert, but many had already gone out.

It is not Photoshopped...I actually got the picture from a library in my state that had a copy of the insert in their newspaper section. I considered stealing it, but...the First Lady is a Librarian, and you never know what kind of penalties could be forthcoming.
