President Bush and The Pope
>
The Pope is visiting DC and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon
on the Potomac sailing on the presidential yacht.
They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat
(zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water. Secret service guys
start to launch a boat, but Bush waves them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll
take care of this. Don't worry."
Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out
to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over and picks it up, then walks
back across the water to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to
the Pope amid stunned silence.
The next morning the lead news story on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, the New York &
L.A. Times, as well as the Washington Post is...
"Bush Can't Swim" |
