Probably because William Shatner and Leslie Nielsen got table seats, while poor John Lithgow had to stand.

There was a great bit on Colbert the other night. First, he pointed out that Obama had officially ordered the raid several days before it happened. In fact, the order preceded the release of his birth certificate, as if he were smirking, "Okay guys, fine, here's the long form certificate, I'm sure this is gonna be the top news for weeks and weeks..." Secondly, the annual White House Press Corps dinner also happened in the interim, during which Obama was videotaped laughing long and hard in response to a joke about bin Laden's whereabouts.

How about photoshopping something out?

Quote:

The Hasidic newspaper, Der Zeitung (The Time), photoshopped out two women who featured in the image released by the White House - Mrs Clinton and counter-terrorism analyst Audrey Tomason.

The Brooklyn-based newspaper, which is written in Yiddish, is believed to have removed the women because of issues regarding female modesty.

Link.

I saw that in the paper this morning! I was amazed.

They have since apologized, and apparently, if they could do it again, they simply wouldn't run the picture.

The paper bag with red and white stripes, is a "burn bag" for destroying sensitive documents.

I read (oh crap...I read it. I don't know if it's true. I read it. I don't know. Don't beat me) that Hillary said later she was actually stifling a cough.

Ruined my perception of her 'reaction.'

That is because this is either a) a staged photo or b) some random photo that is put out by the White house Dept of Lies and Deception, I mean PR.

Can you think of a more tense, concern causing time, than waiting for the video feed to be restored?
That's probably why the brass is busy on the computer.

Obama only did this because he needed a ps2 fix, and real life was best substitute he could get..
