President takes a trumble


This was on AOL news, so i could link yall to it.....
Bush Trumbles, Then Rebounds on Segway.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (June 13) - President Bush opened a long weekend of golf and fishing Friday by hooking his first drive into a riverbank. He found his stroke on his second try, cheered by his father, who proclaimed it a ``good ball!''

Father and son left their family's coastal compound just after dawn, taking a mini-motorcade to nearby Cape Arundel Golf Club, where they have been golfing for years. The first President Bush drove their golf cart up to the first tee, the current president riding shotgun with his feet up on the dash. ``Good morning, everybody!'' he said to a group of reporters.

The father-son pair took a couple of warm-up drives, neither pleased with the results. ``Reload,'' George H.W. Bush mumbled after his first drive. His son's first shot followed a hard arc to the left into the mud along the Kennebunk River. The second shot was long and straight. They were joined by club pro Ken Raynor and by Mark Plummer, a multiple winner of Maine's amateur championship.

Two Bush siblings, Dorothy Koch and Marvin Bush, played separately, and the family converged at the 18th hole after an unusually long round by Bush standards - more than two hours. President Bush tried to use body English to ease his last putt into the hole, but it didn't work.

Their scores weren't known, but the elder Bush said ``It's not all about winning'' as he walked off the last green.

Three generations of Bushes were spending Father's Day weekend at Walker's Point, the family's estate here along Atlantic coastline.

The president and his father climbed into the Fidelity II power boat later and fished the coastline, stopping to cast for about 10 minutes before moving on to another spot. Wearing fashionable, blue-tinted shades, the son caught what appeared to be a foot-long striper, and gently placed it back in the water.

It won't all be rest and relaxation. Bush gets regular daily briefings on pressing matters whenever he spends his time away from the White House. This weekend, salvaging Mideast peace looms large. But Bush ignored a reporter's question about that.

The emphasis was decidedly on unwinding here during a weekend in which the family was celebrating the 79th birthday of the first President Bush.

Arriving at the family's oceanside estate, the younger Bush quickly shed the suit and tie for casual wear, grabbed a tennis racket and whacked an orange ball for dog Spot to fetch. The president was still clutching the racket when he boarded a Segway, a standup, motorized scooter that resembles a push lawnmower.

The Segway went down on Bush's first attempt, but he stayed on his feet with a flying leap over the machine. Undeterred, he got on again. His father climbed on a second Segway and they cruised around the driveway at the estate at Walker's Point.

The president's twins, Jenna and Barbara, and former first lady Barbara Bush all took turns on the Segways. Earlier Thursday, first lady Laura Bush, the twins and the former president took a cruise in a white powerboat.

The stay in Kennebunkport was only the most recent long weekend of relaxation Bush has taken since the Iraq war. He has had three long weekends at his Crawford, Texas, ranch since mid-April.

Doesn't make it much funnier, although I can definately see why we'd host it. We have our share of assholes, that's for sure, so I can see someone feeling evil and hosting that.
