George Bush Mugged

A ” ‘watchless “President!

clipped from www.mirror.co.uk DELIGHTED George Bush plunged into a crowd to shake hands as he got a hero’s welcome on his first visit to Albania – and emerged without his watch. The president was mobbed during a trip to a farming village by locals who reached out to grab him by the wrist, hugged him and even ruffled his hair. But when he finally emerged from the scrum in Fushe Kruje his �25 Timex, with a distinctive stars and stripes on its face, was missing. Within hours Albanian TV was screening footage showing the president wearing the watch as the visit began – but bare-wristed at the end. The US was quick to play down the embarrassing incident as Bush jetted out of the ex-Communist Balkan state on Sunday. A White House spokeswoman denied the president’s watch had been swiped – and added: “He took it off.” She also denied Albanian claims that the watch had fallen off and been found by a bodyguard. Watch the picture and the video for tell tale evdence. clipped from www.youtube.com
