I used to think the photo of Bush with the upside down children's book was funny too and even emailed it to a few people. Turns out that was a photoshop job as well(check it out on Snopes) but lots of people still use it to ridicule the president and simply ignore or are unaware of the existence of the original AP photo showing the book held correctly. To this day, I hear liberals using the book incident as evidence of the president's stupidity. These types of claims are lazy and pathetic and always discredit the person making them. There are plenty of ways to legitimately mock Bush without being so dishonest. I suspect this bathroom break issue is similarly dishonest.

It's a Reuters photo... If it's fake they're toast. Not worth the risk.

I agree, most of these photos are very funny but false. I beleive most proof of the president's stupidity comes from his own mouth.

Hey, even Drudge messed it up...

The headline on his site: "PHOTO: President scribbling note to Condoleezza, who asks 'I may need a bathroom break'... "

The note heard round the world:

Don't blame the photographer.

That's the message from Gary Hershorn, a picture editor for Reuters, about the photo yesterday that shows President George W. Bush writing an all-too-human note during a UN meeting.

... Hershorn, Reuters' news editor for pictures for the Americas, says he's responsible for zooming in on the note and deciding to transmit the photo to Reuters clients. He says Wilking didn't know what the note said when he shot the picture.

"I'm so adamant that Rick has nothing to do with this. He was just the guy who pushed the button," Hershorn says.

In response to the attention the photo is getting, Reuters' spokeswoman in London released a two-sentence statement about the picture: "The photographer and editors on this story were looking for other angles in their coverage of this event, something that went beyond the stock pictures of talking heads that these kind of forums usually offer. This picture certainly does that."
