Whatever happened to the president's watch?

One moment President George W. Bush was glad-handing Albanians on Sunday, proudly sporting a watch with a dark strap on his left wrist. Moments later, it was gone.

At least they didn't get his wallet. Does eBay have an Albanian site ;)

Same thing I was thinking! Time to check eBay.

From the clock king no doubt....now that’s funny!

Here’s a link to the video of the watch disappearing.

I don’t care about his watch. I don’t like that guy grabbing his wrist though.

If this is true, I’d have to say that Dubya just got a hard lesson about Albanians!

You think a watch is bad? Heck, they’re still trying to steal all of Kosovo from the Serbs!

[rockabyebaby]

I agree! He’s leading the pack to have our country be stolen, do I really give a bleep about his flippin’ watch?

[wideawake]

Watching the video it looks as if the watch dropped off his wrist - you can see him glancing at the ground to look for it.

I’ll have to watch that again and see if the security boys come through it with their radios. Check your wallets, boys!

That happened to me once as I was riding in a jeep along the streets of Hue.

One of the news reports said they saw the watch back on his wrist later in the day, they believe it came off and someone handed it back to him right after these frames ended.

I’m not happy about the camera angle in that video. Did the Secret Service people know there was a person taking video from up above?

kinda sums up our whole experience with the muslim world

taking bets that W learns nothing from this

[FreeInWV]

I hope it wasn’t the Dick Tracy wristwatch that the NSA designed for him!

Another story said that “security” had gotten the watch back and handed it to Laura Bush.

>>Heck, they’re still trying to steal all of Kosovo from the Serbs!<<

The Kosovars (ethnic Albanians) won the Kosovo fair and square, by the only legitimate means: demographic displacement (the same thing that’s currently happening in the American Southwest - unfortunately).

Bush probably thinks whoever stole his watch is excellent citizen material. After all, the guy would fit right in with the new immigration plan.

I had my watch lifted off my wrist in the subway about two years ago. Never felt a thing.
