Mr. Bush's watch stolen!
- Thread starter mito
- Start date
Supposedly the watch was actually removed prior to engaging with the crowd (or at least that's what the white house press corp says). They say this is standard procedure.
Sorry, missed that before I posted up.
Sure, but the videos show Bush engaging the crowd while wearing the watch.
Well, maybe he started to, then thought "huh, I better put my watch in my pocket"
Anyways, I find it interesting to note the following:
- The population of a country that actually has undergone tyranny in recent memory likes Bush and is pro-America.
- Countries that haven't, call him a fascist warmonger
- This watch story is getting a lot of press, and the cynic in me wonders if the story is getting so much traction as a 'counter' to the 'Bush gets warm welcome in Albania' story.

I completely agree, especially with your last point. I mean come on, may be they just don't want to leave a bad impression about the crowd based on the actions of one person. Hell, the watch could have just fallen off, after becoming loose in the beginning.

Perhaps the mainstream media has an anti-Albanian bias.
(At the risk of dragging this thread further into RSPC, I should note that the previously stated generalization has a number of counterexamples, and many countries that are pro-America are not necessarily fans of the administration.)

Too bad 68% of his own country doesn't.
I doubt that matters for a "population of a country that actually has undergone tyranny in recent memory", people do tend to like what they know.
Bush is revered in Albania because he's been heavily pushing for the indepence of Kosovo, mainly populated by ethnic Albanians. It's entirely about ethnic divisions in the Balkans and has got nothing to do with recent Albanian tyranny, let alone Bush's worldwide politics. Unless your really think the Albanians worship Bush for starting the Iraq war over nonexistent weapons of mass destruction
Yeah. That must be it.
To bring things back from the political brink, let's speculate on the watch.
I didn't see a good shot of the watch.
What was it?
Rolex?
Mickey Mouse?
Leather band?
Nylon?
Digital, mechanical?
I'm thinking mechanical, maybe a little worn, has non-metal dark leather or some kind of polymer band, and is most likely set wrong.

One of the articles I read said it was a $50 timex with some kind of stars and stripes theme.
Are you trying to suggest he can't tell time?
