This White House Web-site photograph of Vice President Dick Cheney happily fly-fishing on the Snake River in Idaho has sparked idle speculation on the Internet about what’s reflected in those sun glasses. White House photo by David Bohrer

People seem to be having so much fun with Dick Cheney’s sunglasses — judging from comments already logged at this site and queries on the Internet — that we thought we’d reprise some of the suggestions for what’s actually reflected in the dark shades of the vice president flyfishing on the Snake River in Idaho:
“It’s a pack of Camels,” C. Morris wrote to the Swamp.
“The flashback from the WMDs he’s using to blow up fish with,” writes John E.
“Of course she’s a naked lady,” writes Dawn Miller.
“Looks like someone next to a Ski-doo,” writes Liz.
Well, it’s not a naked lady, the vice president’s office assures all. And in fact an enlargement of the photo bears out the official explanation: It’s a hand on the fly fishing rod.
