News Worthy?

Why would a persons need to visit the toilet become news worthy? Well, if you are President Bush, then ANYTHING you do is news worthy.

In a IM message this morning, "Finn" said, "Now, I don't like much of anything the administration has done, but it's getting kind of ridiculous."

Even liberals agree. Liberal reporting in the news is "ridiculous". :-)

Lessee, Matt Drudge, The New York Post and Yahoo are all reporting this. I am not reporting the article as much as how silly it is to make it news worthy.

Update: The Times and The Times Online both covered this. Updates also show that the picture was altered (a common practice in the journalism world). Photo District News reports:

"The white parts of the picture were overexposed, so a Reuters processor used Photoshop to burn down the note. This is a standard practice for news photos, Hershorn says, and the picture was not manipulated in any other way."

Sad. Heaven help the man if he gets hungry and wants a snack.
