Bush and the press:

The Pope was visiting DC and President Bush took him out for an afternoon on the Potomac...sailing on the President's yacht. They were admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blew off his head and out into the water. Secret service guys started to launch a boat, but President Bush waves them off, saying "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."

President Bush then steped off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walked out to the Holy Father's little hat, bent over and picked it up, then walked back to the yacht and climbed aboard. He handed the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning, the Washington Post carried a story, with front page photos, of the event. The banner headline is: "Bush Can't Swim"
