It was a really tough room for my latest gig.\u00a0 I thought they’d be more attentive, but they all seemed to be really distracted by a very realistic video game that was playing on one wall.\u00a0 Something about “getting Geronimo”… <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, you’ve probably seen this picture taken at the White Hourse during the raid on bin Laden’s compound a couple days ago.\u00a0 But have you really looked at it?\u00a0 I’m stealing this idea from TRMS, but presenting it in a way where you can take a closer look. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Look at the expressions on the people’s faces.\u00a0 This is quite some photo-journalism by the White House photographer.\u00a0 Look at the expression on Hillary Clinton’s face.\u00a0 I don’t think she enjoys Halo, Gears of War or shoot-em-up video games either…

Michael Mullin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, looks shocked… dismayed…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are some other notable expressions which I will let you look at on your own, but perhaps the most poignant is that of Obama himself.\u00a0 This is a face of determination right here. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m also posting this blog as a bit of visual evidence for those who might be questioning the validity of this remarkable news.\u00a0 Some think bin Laden still lives.\u00a0 Some are saying he’s been dead for years and we’ve been keeping his body on ice, waiting for a politically advantageous moment to concoct this story (18 months before the election? huh?).\u00a0 Some point to the “suspicious” burial at sea for the corpse.\u00a0 Look, he was a Moslem; their religion dictates their dead be buried within 24 hours of passing.\u00a0 We didn’t bury him on land because we didn’t want to create a shrine for fanatics to honor. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, the people in this picture are not actors.\u00a0 Heck, I AM an actor and I couldn’t fake these kinds of expressions.\u00a0 I certainly can’t imagine getting a room full of 13 people to “fake it” so convincingly. No, they were watching something real.\u00a0 Something dramatic.\u00a0 Something our nation has been waiting for since 9\/11\/2001.
