Picture of President
Bush and His Father Fishing in New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor The email is frequently
titled, "Bush's vacation."
Attached is a picture of President George W. Bush and his father,
former President George H. Bush, enjoying a day of fishing in the
troubled waters of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina.
The Truth
The picture is obviously a hoax, the
product of someone merging two different pictures, one from a Bush
vacation and the other from the flooded streets of New Orleans after
Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The picture of the Bushes fishing appeared with an Associate Press
story by Scott Lindlaw in April, 2004.
The president had been fishing with a crew from the outdoor TV show Fishing
with Roland Martin.
