1. Where my country?
The media is making a big deal out of a $50 Timex. What about the Democracy bu$h stole from the American people?

12. I don't get it....
he's literally been the Boy in the Bubble since day 1, and then all of a sudden they allow this?

I saw that John Travolta movie a long time ago and I don't think the Bubble Boy fared very well once he was allowed out.

26. Albania is STILL in the bubble
So he didn't leave the protection of the bubble, he moved into a much larger bubble of unreality. Like Stephen Colbert said... "It's still 2002 there".

4. Did they get his wallet too?
The most amazing thing is that Americans aren't allowed to get anywhere close to our "leader".

15. I thought the same thing!
he would never allow Americans to mob him like that. It's sad when you have to travel a couple thousand miles for a photo op....

8. I'm not a Bush fan but this isn't cool
I had a Swatch stolen from me when I was in 7th grade. One of the cool original clear see through ones. I'm still pissed about that. ;)

17. Should've got a Fossil
Edited on Tue Jun-12-07 12:20 PM by Neo
Mine's a year old and stopped working right. I walked into a random Fossil store and they replaced it with a new one for free no questions asked and no receipt. Now that is customer service!

So can we take * to the President store and replace him with a Gore model?

23. This was just before he was dragged into the crowd
...as horrified Secret Service agents watch helplessly, he disappears into the teeming throng. Moments later, the crowd throws him back out, after stripping him of his tie, shirt, one Offical Presidential Boot, pants, and Official Presidential Codpiece.

Actually, I think Joementum snuck in there, and was just pulling him forward to plant a big, wet, sloppy one on him. Like Michael Corleone did to Fredo.

belt buckle.

22. It's shameful that Americans don't have access to their President
They must sign loyalty oaths and checked out by Secret Service before they are allowed to get that close.
