People will love him even more for that photo. People will say, “Look at him! He’s the personification of ‘cool’...”

To be fair, I do remember some media figure back in 2000 who recounted a tale from his days at Princeton back in the late 1960s.

Yale's football team beat Princeton in a late-season game at Princeton to clinch the Ivy League championship, and a crowd of Yale fans swarmed onto the field and climbed all over the goalposts to try to tear them down. A bunch of them were arrested, including one who sat perched in the middle of the crossbar until the police got him down.

"When I recently learned that the guy on the crossbar was George W. Bush," he said, "I knew I had to vote for him!"
