A coworker said that it showed Bush wasn't paying attention. And went on to say with a straight face, if that would have been Clinton he would have been paying attention to what the other speakers were saying.
My eyes rolling saying oh please...we'd have to be wondering who would be under the desk servicing Clinton.
With Bush you can assume he was heading to the bathroom to do what the vast majority of people do there. With Clinton...well I don't wanna go there.
