WH Pool Report: The President Rides Scooter

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

YahoopsIn this White House pool report, the President conquers his demons, and gets another scooter out of the White House:

The Leader of the Free World did, indeed, hop onto a Segway scooter and cruised for an undetermined distance at the Guest House under the no-doubt admiring gaze of his Japanese host. Duffy, through Carroll, said the new Segway was a gift from the president to the prime minister. One has to use one’s imagination as to how fast the President-guided the Segway or whether he managed a more graceful dismount than the last time he was seen on one of these scooters.

We like to think he rode it one handed, whooping, yelling, “Suck on it, Fitzy!!! SUCK IT!”

Full report after the jump.
