Bush's watch snatched off his wrist in Albania

as a frequent traveler to the balkans and other areas of the world where i always tend to pay closer attention to what's going on around me, i find this just too funny...

George W Bush was visibly cheered when he received a hero's welcome in Albania at the weekend, with Albanians draped in the Stars and Stripes reaching out to hug him and shake his hand.

But perhaps the leader of the Western world should have exercised a little more caution and followed the standard advice to travellers in the Balkans to keep an eye on their belongings.

watch it and judge for yourself...



forever in denial and stonewall mode, the white house responds...

A White House spokeswoman denied today that that the President had been robbed. She also denied other Albanian reports that Mr Bush's watch did fall off during the vigorous walkabout but that it was returned to a bodyguard. Instead the spokeswoman said that Mr Bush had removed it himself. "He took it off," she said.

yep, they love him all right...

(note: this is not and should not be a reflection on either albania or the balkans... most everybody knows you should take the same precautions in big cites and crowds everywhere...)
