I think he's just wearing a towel below the hedge-line.
Seconds later, the President's face was peppered with birdshot.
No perspective tricks. Did you see the video?
"I'm Addison DeWitt. I'm nobody's fool, least of all yours."
Birdshot if he's lucky. I think I saw a June 1964 Playboy with Mamie van Doren in another press pool photograph.
I think you're all misreading the image. It doesn't show that Bush is Cheney's puppet; it shows that Cheney is a creepy stalker with amorous designs on the First Member.
That's "our" American government, Shia.
Off-topic, but this is pretty damned amazing.
Bush appears to be haunted by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
What the hell, why is the Vice President so creepy?
The only time she's ever been funny, Wanda Sykes referred to a Dick Cheney television appearance as a "creature feature".

You call yourself a hipster, you've never seen "Pootie Tang"?
11: Yeah, that was pretty excellent. I think it helps Edwards as much as Obama. Maybe we won't be forced into choosing between Bush-Lite or Bush-Liter in '08.
Clinton+Obama+Edwards=$65 million
Giuliani+Romney+McCain=$40.5 million
I imagine Cheney glides without actually swinging his legs. Like in your peripheral vision, he just emerges and takes shape from the ether.
I would give almost anything for the Photoshop skills necessary to edit one of those little metal balls from Phantasm into Cheney's hand.
Unsightly acne, sir? Oh dear. Jeevesil will take the liberty of removing it for you.
Cheney can throw his voice that far???
Reminds me also of a great comment I saw at Crooked Timber, re: voting on the forthcoming USPS Star Wars stamp (the film, not the failed arms program):
"My understanding is that the USPS plans to issue a Darth Vader stamp sheet someday, but can't because Mr. Cheney isn't dead yet."
22: got a good photo to source it from?
You should see what the portrait he has in his attic looks like.
The one bad thing about Obama's total is that it means it's on, which in turn means that the HRC-DLC crowd are going to be much more aggressive in trying to soft tom Obama. That's probably good for Edwards, too, and probably won't help HRC that much, but the thought of it makes me really queasy.
25: Sadly, no, and a Google image search on "Phantasm metal ball" doesn't turn up any especially likely candidates on the first page.
25: Pictures. Phantasm was the first horror movie I ever saw. God, how I love that movie.

Like the Gentlemen!
At their house, my brother and sister-in-law substitute "gentleman" for "asshole" so the kid's language won't be any worse than it is. Not long ago, my niece told me "Some gentleman tried to run Mommy off the road!"
much more aggressive in trying to soft tom Obama
Serious, serious backfire potential if they go that route.

Really, you think so? I think the upside far outweighs the risks, especially any such attacks would come from "unaffiliated" parties.
Playing funny with race is risky business for Democrats.
This is just the cycle of nature taking its course in its own beautiful, terrible way. Cheney's caught the scent; now he's trying to flank his prey. It's not like this is the first time.
They need to take seven and they might take yours...
That could easily be the cover of some '80s German techno band.
Cover for an album, that is, rather than cover ala Stasi. Although that makes as appropriate, all things considered.
The lamppost in the picture also gives it a bit of a Narnia feel.
Hey, thanks for asking. The meeting was somewhat anti-climactic, but that in itself may end up being determinative. Unless something unusually awesome happens at work in the next couple of days, it looks like I'm bound for grad school this fall. Woo!
Remember that picture of Cheney, Bush, and Rumsfeld looking like a cowboy posse at high noon? Ya gotta admit, this administration has inspired some pretty amazing photos.
I'm pretty sure "inspired" s/b "arranged."
