President Contemplates Peeing
So much for being a decisive leader, eh?
According to Reuters, this photo is credited to Rick Wilking and the caption reads:
U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan's vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.And the note reads:
I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible? Who needs comedy writers anymore, really?

Poor Georgie, who can think about global security when one has to take a pee pee?
Posted by: maggie at September 15, 2005 09:13 AMOver at Kevin Drum's blog, someone (maybe a wingnut troll) pointed out that the wingnut position is that this is a photoshopped fake. The fact that it went out over Reuters militates against that IMHO. What does astound me is that given the way the SCLM has been protecting Bush, that the editors at Reuters let this one go out over the wires.
