Correct me if I'm wrong, but that photo was proven photoshopped within hours: http://conservativepapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Ste...

I loathe giving this any more attention but I feel it is important to say that this is in no way a proof.

It’s very easy to look for supposed marks of manipulation and very easy to find many of them – even if nothing was actually manipulated. There are just too many weird artifacts and optical effects, not all of them are marks of manipulation.

What you linked to isn’t a smoking gun in any way. It’s utterly unconvincing.
