Ah, Photoshop. Is there nothing you can't do? With your abilities and the creative wit and talent of the Internets, it really adds an extra element after the assassination of the most hunted man in the world. Let's review.
I'm sure that a bunch of lefties think that this picture is just great and that it's a smack in W's face. Me, I'm just glad that ol' Weird Beard is dead. I don't care who did it. But that doesn't mean that I don't find the image below a bit amusing. Because I do. A bit.
The question now is whether or not people will continue to mix up their names?
You knew that there'd be something referencing that buffoon, Donald Trump. Could he look like any more of a jackass at this point? (Only if he continues to press stupid, stupid issues about Obama's qualifications. Or just open his mouth to speak in general.)
What I didn't expect was a Michael Scott reference.
And you know that this is going to be remembered in North Korea just a little bit differently than in the rest of the world.
And even though every news anchor was thinking the thought below, some of them still couldn't get it right.
And while this started out about Photoshopped images, I must sadly mention a couple of fairly amusing but NON-Photoshopped instances that occurred on Sunday. Whoever was responsible for changing the headlines at Fox News should be fired. Who the hell is Usama Bin Landen and what in the hell is 'Confrims'?
And after someone is done firing that idiot, can they fire the announcer below who reported: "President Obama speaking from the East Room of the White House, telling the nation and the world President Obama is in fact dead." Seriously? I'm pretty sure in fact that President Barry is NOT dead. I can understand the Obama/Osama slip up. But the words "President Obama" sounds absolutely nothing like "Osama Bin Laden". Not even close. How do you make that mistake?
And with so much excitement this past weekend, I shall remember all of it with a single image.

"Usama" has actually been their spelling for several years.
If for no other reason than to avoid autocorrect errors, I guess...
Like that chick for NBC did when she tweeted about it (I think it was NBC). "Obama has been killed" caused a minor amount of panic, I guess...
Oh, I'm fine with Usama part. That's how it appears on the FBI's Most Wanted List. The part I had an issue with was "Bin Landen".
I missed the NBC tweet. I'll have to look for that one. Classic.

I'll find a link for it...
As for the anchor that messed up, it was probably what was on the teleprompter, and for news anchors especially they get very little advance warning over what it's going to say...
They really do read without understanding... If it comes up, they say it.
Here's a story at Patterico's with the tale.
