Pocketed Watch
Despite what your eyes might tell you while viewing the above You Tube video, the White House assures us that President Bush did not have his watch stolen from his wrist while he greeted exuberant Albanians during his just-ended European trip.
Take a close look as the countdown clock hits the 3:15 mark. Now you see it, now you don’t.
Turns out, according to Tony Snow, Bush is a wily veteran who knows when his personal possessions might be in jeopardy.
Q: Was the president’s watch lifted in Albania off his wrist?
Snow: No, it was not. It was placed in his pocket. And I believe your network has actually looked through the tape carefully and has ascertained the same. But, no, the president put it in his pocket and it returned safely home.
