Did you hear that someone stole Bush's watch while he was in Albania?

TIRANA, Albania (AP) -- One moment President Bush was glad-handing Albanians on Sunday, proudly sporting a watch with a dark strap on his left wrist. Moments later, it was gone.

Did it fall off? Did one of his bodyguards remove it? Or did one of the crowd artfully slip it off his wrist and pocket it?

The United States Embassy in Albania on Tuesday emphatically denied that Bush's watch was stolen during his visit to the country, where he was acclaimed as a hero.

The Albanian media -- and international Web sites -- is buzzing with video showing Bush's wrist watch apparently disappearing while he was shaking hands with people in Fushe Kruje, 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of Tirana.

"What the local media is saying is absolutely not true," an embassy official, who declined to be named, said.

4. That's funny

He is such an idiot. Even though he really had nothing to do with someone copping his watch, I just like to say he is an idiot.

A dorky idiot even. He looks like a cheap version of a televangelist there.

10. I saw it this morning - I can't believe he gets that close to people

in Albania! Jon Stewart made a great point last night. They hug and kiss him there and over here you can't even get him to answer a question at a news conference or even drive past the white house.

11. If by "Political Videos Forum" you mean "primate1's post just above mine" then yes.

[DS1]

12. Actually I meant "Failure to see and acknowledge post above mine, and subsequentl

failure to act on said poster's insecurities" :P

13. MAGICBULLET actually linnked it before I did...

But that's beside the point. x(

However, it'll cease being funny as soon as Lil Bush orders the Air Force to bomb Albania.

14. When will it be up for sale on e-bay?

And how fast would Bush sign up on e-bay to make a bid to get it back?
