What’s in Cheney’s sunglasses?

You may have seen it, and you may have not. But last week, questions were asked about the image that appeared in vice president Dick Cheney’s sunglasses in a photograph. Cheney was on a hunting/fishing trip in the northwest and the image showed Cheney grinning as if he thoroughly enjoyed what he was looking at.

The reflection in his sunglasses appeared to capture that of a naked woman. At least, that’s what some folks said.

People jumped on this bandwagon, whether the picture was legit or not.

The picture was released by the White House. Do you really think the White House would release a picture of the vice president in the company of naked women? Are White House photographers invited to attend outdoor hunting parties that include strippers? Please.

The image may look like a woman, but more than one person investigating the photo confirms it’s just his hand. This does not mean there wasn’t a naked woman prancing in front of Cheney or the White House photographer, but she wasn’t in his sunglasses.
