Bush Jr falls off a Segway. This Wired article says that the device “is virtually impossible to fall off”.

Who thinks the President is sucidal? I mean, he nearly died eating pretzels, fell off the nearly-impossible-to-fall-off and keeps making war and all and he’ll kill himself right quick.

Ok, so the guy fell off, is this news? Who really gives a shit about this?

Russ, because GWB is like a god to America, and from a cultural perspective it’s fascinating to see that a) America’s god rides a segway, b) America’s god is significantly unco and c) Segways can be actually be stacked! That’s news in my mind.

A god? I think you’re a little out of touch with the American people. He’s our president, and it’s true he’s popular as far as polls are concerned, but a god? That’s just a tad hyperbolic.

Maybe I should have said Royalty rather than god. I wish I had my own 747 and several hundred guys in black suits and dark windowed cars following me around everywhere I went ready to take a bullet for me ;)

I think it sums up Bush, America, the Media, the whole damn world circa 2003.

The most powerful man in the world at a most eventful time of his controversial presidency manages to fall of one of the most exciting and pioneering inventions of our time.

You couldn’t make that stuff up.

I am sort of disappointed, though, Bush hasn’t done anything as astronomically humor-causing as Clinton has.
