The Pope and the President...
Posted on 11/12/2003 11:22:04 AM PST by X-Servative
The Pope is visiting DC and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac...sailing on the presidential yacht.
They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.
Secret service guys start to launch a boat, but Bush waves them off, saying "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."
Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Pope's little hat, bends over and picks it up, then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence from the watching press corps.
The next morning, the New York Times carries a story, with front page photos, of the event. The banner headline is ...
"Bush Can't Swim."
