A photo editor for McClatchy-Tribune Information Services has debunked bloggers' claims that Vice President Dick Cheney was fly fishing with a naked woman, according to information published on MCT's Web site.
A recent photo on the White House's Web site showed Cheney standing in a river; the reflection on one of his sunglasses lens depicted what bloggers claimed was the figure of a naked woman, according to United Press International.
"In one lens of his sunglasses you can clearly tell it is a sleeved arm of Cheney or a fishing companion," said MCT reporter George Bridges. "The other lens has an extreme distortion that, without looking at it closely, could be misconstrued."
The White House denied the bloggers' allegations, UPI reported.
The incident marked the second time an outdoor hobby of Cheney's was exploited by the public, according to the news service. In 2006, Cheney shot a lawyer in the face while bird hunting.
