Please Tell Me This Is Not Real
Okay, you may have seen this in a thousand places already, but . . . this can't be real, right? This picture of the Chimp in Chief at the UN Security Council? I mean, it's Reuters. Isn't it? Are we being punked, on a grand scale?
Here's the original Reuters pic:
Then, on my soul, all I did was crop and crank up the contrast and drop the brightness to bring out the handwriting. I've seen this picture, like I said, a zillion times, and I really wanted to make sure I wasn't being messed with. But no, really, the Leader of the Free World needs to ask Condi before he can go potty.
Of course my next stop, as yours should be is Snopes, but this does appear to be legit. Even I gave the guy more credit than this . . .
Also, not that I now know how to post picture on la blog.

on the one hand, i wish i could tell you this was fake, but you've already done your research and know for yourself the answer to that. on the other hand i could point out that it looks to have been a matter of protocol rather than permission. certainly don't want to start a war over going to the bathroom.
however, i think this a good illustration of not preparing properly. you'd think he might have researched proper protocol before going to a UN meeting. it isn't like these people are the type who will either dispense with or overlook lack of proper protocol, even when such should be the case.
