Gotta love our President, and to think, the press actually believes him. Would that have happened with Clinton? I don't think so. SO refreshing, and he has a wonderful sense of humor to boot. It's good that he doesn't take himself too seriously, shows a VERY GOOD man. And boy is he!!!

It's good that he doesn't take himself too seriously, shows a VERY GOOD man.

Well said.

rintense ~~~ thought you might want to call the whole "Dose ping list" to this one ... :-)

He says he hit the deck, but it really looks like someone decked him. Big, big bruise on his cheek, very red. Makes me wonder.

Headline:

Bush makes light of Pretzelgate

Rep. Waxman calls for subpoena of all White House pretzels

[Hugh Akston]

theories abounded aboard the press charter following Mr. Bush: The president suffered a heart attack, one said; another speculated the president was drunk, even though he gave up alcohol 15 years ago.

Our unbiased media at work.

[JohnHuang2]

Yep...

[JohnHuang2]

Rep. Waxman highly skeptical of president's Pretzelgate account

Congressman will conduct backyard experiments to test Bush's explanation

I noticed that right off...the lousy press!
They never questioned how x42's got his many physical markings, including a broken/sprained leg!

"If this were [former President Bill] Clinton, you'd think Hillary had thrown a lamp at him,"

A "See BS" Prestitue said this?! Gee, what is the world coming to.

On the "Clinton Broken Leg" incident---it was reported here on FR that Billy was at Greg "The Shark" Norman's home. There were naked women present, and Slick Willy was drunk (or high on something). He had a naked woman on his sholders and fell, injuring his knee and leg.

< democrat >Pretzels my ass. He was probably guzzling a bottle of vodka, sucking in a crack pipe and knocking back some percodan. He got up to put in a new porn tape and tripped over a bag full of Enron money < /democrat >

Crawl back to DU, you..! hehehe ;^)

[kassie]

All of that is possible ...if you are talking about the Impeached X 42.

My brother once had a flu shot and he fainted in the bathroom. Hit his chin on the vanity going down, hit his cheek/temple, on the toilet going down, and when he hit the floor bounced and hit the back of his head on the corner of the shower. He looked like he had been mugged by 3 or 4 men. He was 6 foot 1 and weighed probably close to 240 or so at the time.

Even Chris Matthews said so. I nearly fell off the bed laughing. He said to Howard Fineman last night that he really liked this president b/c he was so normal. He was watching a football game and eating a pretzel while his wife was reading a book in the other room--not like the man he defeated who looks like he is a member of the Taliban. Fineman agreed, saying that this president is so popular that everyone was more concerned than they might be. It was an extraordinary exchange!

another speculated the president was drunk, even though he gave up alcohol 15 years ago.

Umm, that would be Don Imus.

Do you have kids? Have you ever seen 4 yr old face plant after tripping on something? Looks just like his marks. My son fell and caught the corner of his eye on a cabinet--had a bruise the size of Texas for 3 weeks. I was afraid to take him out for fear that CPS would come after me. =)
