Says a lot about the good intentions of the mighty pretzel.
They meant well anyway.

Well, in the great tradition of Hillary throwing an ashtray at Bill's head, Laura might get up enough interest in her husband to belt him.

I would still like to know how any healthy adult can lodge a pretzel piece so far into their own windpipe that they lose consciousness. I mean, does this explanation sound even remotely plausible?

"Bush lost consciousness for a brief time in the White House on Sunday evening while eating a pretzel and watching a professional football game on television. He fell from his couch and has a scrape and large bruise on his left cheekbone, plus a bruise on his lower lip, to show for his troubles. His glasses cut the side of his face."

That's a heck of a bruise going from seat of couch to floor. OK, on top of that what adult falls from a couch? OK, I was wrong. I had heard that the dogs became worried and had alerted the secret service but not the media.

"Bush said he believes he lost consciousness for only a few seconds at about 5:35 p.m., because when he opened his eyes, he said, his dogs were in the same location as his last memory from being seated on the couch.

However, he told a top aide, Karen Hughes, "they were looking at me a little funny."

======== So this is a man who falls and does a number on his face and neither dog even bothers to get up and lick his nose?

Geez Loueeze.
