Dick Cheney's Shock And Awe

Posted by Kevin
Published: November 15, 2004 - 10:32 AM

No doubt you've heard about the news picture of Vice President Dick Cheney that leaves little to the imagination.

In case you missed it here's a little background from Milwaukee Magazine:

Joining Vice President Dick Cheney's motorcade in Green Bay, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photographer Dale Guldan hoped to capture a unique image during an otherwise scripted campaign visit in September.

Did he ever.

[...] The normally serious Cheney flashed a winning smile for Borkin, and Guldan snapped an attention-grabbing photo that would later be chosen for the front page of the paper's September 11 Metro section.

Guldan got a call from a reader the next day. "Did you notice anything unusual about that picture?," the reader asked.

Upon closer inspection, it seems the vice president's smile was not his biggest, ahem, asset. Is that what we think it is?

"You're not imagining it,"Guldan says of the unintentionally revealing photo.

What you probably haven't seen, until now, is that actual picture from the paper. That's about to change...


Hmmm...
