Beer Summit Redux

Beersummit

Recently I set my Google Reader to let me know when the White House updates its Flickr site. I've noticed that they seldom upload newsworthy photos right away; instead, they tend to do "image dumps" about two weeks after the events pictured. A group of images from the infamous "Beer Summit" showed up a few days ago. Because most of the visual coverage we saw looked like this boring shot, I found the newly-uploaded photo above especially interesting.

Sgt. Crowley is helping Professor Gates get down the stairs, yes, but doesn't it also bring uncomfortably to mind the *other* time Crowley "escorted" the good professor off the porch? As for Obama, he seems to be content to let them work it all out...
