It’s all over the Web, so it may as well be here, too.
The White House says the reflection is an arm holding a fishing pole. Whatever it is, Cheney seems quite taken with it. If it is a naked chick, it’s the ugliest naked chick possible.

Linked article says he was fly fishing. Maybe they meant “Fishing for his fly.”
cleek
it’s his hand.
hi-res version here

Dick’s into dickgirls.

Here is the official high-res picture (assuming that it hasn’t been retouched).
The reflection is clearly of a hand grasping the end of a fishing rod.

He is shark-fishing, and he is using a plucked chicken for bait.

Seconds later, he ripped her chest open and plucked out her still beating heart.

It’s an arm holding a cat-o-nine-tails.

The White House is wrong, it is a fishing rod. There is a distinct difference in the construction and use of a fishing pole vs. a fishing rod.
Of course no one really cares :grin: but it is a pet peeve of mine since I wrote a book on the subject.

Yes, hand holding fishing rod

Cheney’s never smiled at a naked chick in his life. naked ambition and naked corruption, he smiles at.
Cris
I can’t study the reflection, because I’m too drawn to Cheney’s face that looks uncannily like Peter Boyle’s version of Frankenstein’s monster.

Also, I assume without checking that the Photoshop gods at Something Awful and FARK are already all over this.

he just shot a man to watch him die.

He’s smiling because he just poked a naked woman in the eye with a fishing rod.
She’s lucky he didn’t have a gun.

I’ve been fly fishing for over 40 years. Most people who pursue the sport, in my experience, practice catch and release, donate money to conservation organizations, and often volunteer to clean up or protect riparian habitats.
Cheney does none of this, I’d wager. He’s out there to kill as many fish as possible.

Excuse me while i go take about a half-dozen hot showers.
b. hussein canuckistani
You know, I’m pretty sure this is fake. When Cheney wants to fish, he has a shotgun and a barrel.
rob!
i don’t believe Dick Chaney is turned on by anything other than the brutal wielding of power.

Considering the way Cheney “hunts” the gov must be paying a pretty penny to have those SCUBA divers attach the fis to Cheney’s line.

ummm, fish

I’m guessin’ he’ll be charged with “assault with a dead weapon”…by the piscatorials, of course.

No, that’s not Barbara Bush.

Ok, I’ll bite, what’s the difference?

Vice President Cheney holding his rod. So what? Next you’ll say his daughter (who has a child by the way) likes girls or that he said a bad word on the Senate floor.
For the record, he said “Good luck, yourself.” This even after being provoked by Senator Leaky Leahy. Given enough blind hatred, libtards will believe anything.
I’m glad to see that even the unhinged loons here at Balloon Juice refused to take the, er, bait.

Yeah, but if this were a reflection in Barack Obama’s sunglasses, the blogs on the right would be calling for martial law, virgin sacrifices, and for all black men and Democrat women to be hanged by the neck until dead.
Isn’t that how the “hypothetical hysteria argument” goes, John?

Vaguely reminds me of the days when Patrick Swayze was teh hawt. There was a spread on him in people, including a shot of him diving into a pool wearing a speedo. A speedo which may have become, er, dislodged. The official explanation from his people that the image was in fact a “piece of string.”
Talk about the explanation being worse than the original act…
chopper
its not like this picture, where he’s poppin a boner sittin next to a little girl.

Knowing Dick and judging from his smile, he’s looking at a kitten that’s about to get one hell of a headache.

Do you first catch the trout and THEN waterboard it?
And another question…did his hunting buddy, the guy that found his face full of birdshot, go on the “fishing expedition” with Darth, and manage to find a size 14 light cahill dry lodged in his right eyeball?
Just askin’.

He’s probably thinking about the first time he ordered a detainee tortured. When he was eleven. And the detainee was his dad.

It’s not his hand. It’s Jenna.

It’s the Devil come for his soul.
Robert Johnson got to launch to blues in return for his soul. Shooter got to screw up the world.

Is it just me, or does he look kinda like the Penguin sans cigarette holder in this picture?
Dave_Violence
That’s a really badass photo.

So, Cheney’s defense is that he prefers a fisherman’s arm, and I suppose the hand attached, to a naked woman.
