The gag photo was taken out of context.
Most FR threads contain at least an element of humor in them (even at times of tragedy there may be a slip of gallows humor). That "forgery" was known as illegitimate from the get go and quickly pulled by a moderator. The Left worked hard to keep that photo "alive" so as to discredit the legitimate photo that was the primary subject of that thread (and has been disavowed in this WaPoo hit piece).
We point out forgeries all the time. Forgeries from Iran and elsewhere that the MSM is only too eager to run as "legitimate".
In an Iranian Image, a Missile Too Many (MSM picks up on the case of the missing missile) (NY Times 7/10/2008 | Mike Nizza and Patrick Witty)

The subsequent NYTimes "graphic":
Little Green Footballs exposed the hoax. Why doesn't he get the "credit" for exposing the fraud? If he'd fabricated the forgery, it would be the subject of the discussion.
I'm wondering how soon she will be harping on FR over THIS image:
And talking about forgeries spawned at FR again...
Satirical images like this only help us to remain sane in a world gone topsy turvey where the press releases of Iranian dictators are run without scrutiny while the good news from the Bush administration about Iraq is denied until the end of the election.
The media needed only compare the video of the launch to the photos.
One more laugh...
