No Naked Woman in Dick Cheney's Sunglasses

The Internet is buzzing about the latest "scandal" to come out of the White House - a picture of VP Dick Cheney with his sunglasses reflecting an allegedly naked woman. The picture was posted on the White House's website with the explanation that it was taken while Cheney was fly-fishing on the Snake River in Idaho. Many photo-oriented websites and blogs immediately started questioning the image reflecting in Dick Cheney's sunglasses with the consensus being it was a naked woman. Online polls were quickly created to find out what people though it was reflecting in Cheney's sunglasses, the majority voting for a naked woman.

But White House spokeswoman Meagan Mitchell found nothing funny about the picture, "Clearly the picture shows a hand casting a rod," was the official statement. And with risk of disappointing many readers, most photo experts agree that the image is of the vice president's hand on his fly rod. Look at the picture and decide for yourself.
