(Newser) – The man who famously shot his hunting partner may have another leisure-sport scandal on his hands—this time involving the image of a naked woman. Bloggers are obsessively analyzing a close-up photo released by the White House of Dick Cheney fly fishing, because of racy image that appears to be reflected in his sunglasses, McClatchy reports.

Hundreds of thousands of websites posted kooky speculation of the VP's alternative "spectator sport" despite cold denials by his spokeswoman and expert analysis to the contrary. "At first glance, I thought it was a naked woman," wrote one professional photographer. "After close study and a second opinion, I believe it's his arm."
