Confederate Flag at White House Ceremonies for Pope

I thought my eyes might be deceiving me last week, but Buzzflash noticed it too.

What is a Confederate Flag Doing Behind Bush as He Greets the Pope? See This Photograph. 4/20

What the heck was going on? How did that Confederate flag get there? The South lost the Civil War and that flag is an egregious symbol for African Americans. Can anyone in the Bush administration explain this? No, it is not awesome, Dubya, it's insensitive and wrong.
