Check out this White House pool report, which describes the scene as the president prepared to sign what he calls a "bipartisan" broadcast indecency bill.
In walk 11 members of the House and Senate to line up in front of the 10 flags, with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist appearing somewhat painfully aware of the fact that the lineup has placed him a good four positions to the right of the president -- which may be appropriate. In other words, when the president walks in, Frist will not be in the camera shot at the podium. A beaming House Majority Leader John Boehner is very much in the shot, however, standing just to the 11 oclock position in the shot.Boehner smiles brightly. Frist smiles with clenched teeth.
