9. it's a TV picture of GW presented on Sky News (UK)

with the text under :

"Breaking news : Bush : one of the worst disasters to hit the US."

The picture is authentic, being presented as true by Snopes

10. Did someone hack Snopes?

Why the hell am I seeing a "mister yuck" image instead?

[crikkett]

12. right-click, choose "view image" in context menu 4 pic.

I don't know what happened but it sure looks like a hack...

[tocqueville]

16. it's not DU-- it's Snopes' server or some proxy in between.

I think it's one of those security measures to keep people
from hotlinking images or whatever it's called when one
person's bandwidth is eaten up by other webpages pointing to
their pics instead of hosting the pic themselves. As if it's
Snopes' own Level-3.

Can't see the image unless you point directly to the jpg in
your browser while not inside a web page. Paste url into a
browser window:

(this is in plain text so it won't put another 'yuck' in this
thread).

11. nem mantra?

This should be aired constantly during the 2006 election cycle. What a great mantra that the dems could 'borrow.' Could CNN keep the dems from reproducing and airing this shot?

[tocqueville]

14. well it must be Sky News copyright

I think they want to earn a buck or two on that one

[Straight Shooter]

15. Remember the CNN trailer after the SOTU speech?

There was some video footage of bush, but the trailer had some wording such as, "Chimp escapes from zoo, evades capture for hours." Maybe a DU'er has the image somewhere.
