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.

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.

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

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

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.

This live-feed business really forces leaders to confront the reality of what they've ordered. It seems like a good trend.

Take it further. Once a day, maybe while he is exercising, the prez watches a headcam feed from some randomly chosen grunt. Might be in a firefight in Fubaristan, might be standing sentry duty on a road block on a god-awful hot day outside Kabul.
"What's that?! ... okay, regular car ... What's that? ... supply truck, let it through ... "
Just to keep him in touch.

Not a bad idea. Fubaristan is a suck-ass assignment btw.

Good idea, he could use the same system to get a glimpse into the lives of some of America's "rich" small business owners.

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.
