There's something about this photo that makes me laugh
can't quite put my finger on it (maybe it needs a caption, or some explanation of what's going on):

1. Maybe it reminds you of
Big Brother appearing on screen?

3. It looks like Bush can see into the room and is asking why the podium isn't in front of the screen.

6. Because the deference to the image on the screen is ridiculous.
They might as well be deferring to The Great Pumpkin.

16. Oh, and I agree with sfexpat2000.
When the President comes into a room, people are supposed to stand.

But, when people watch TV, they usually sit.

These people are showing misplaced deference.

7. It's a conference video - they're getting chewed out.. They have to
watch it 99 times or until they are ready to say they are sorry.

8. Bush - the absent Prez
Like he's not even showing up any more, holding meetings via video. I liked another poster's response that the onlookers appear deferential to a man who isn't even there.
