The watch wasn’t stolen, it was _liberated_. ---

I guess I should be happy but when I saw it I thought he was probably as mad as I would be if someone stole my watch but then I don’t wear one any way. Oh well. Hopefully it’s the thought that counts. He’s not a good president anyway come to think of it. If you can’t say something nice. I’m sure he’s good at something. ---

It was a $50 Rolex. He’s the _President_. Even if it was stolen, couldn’t he easily replace it? I was more worried this was going to cause some dust-up with Albania… ---

I think the watch was dropped on the grassy knoll and this all is just a cover-up. ---

Maybe it was a real $50 Rolodex. I’m pretty sure on his other wrist I saw a stapler. ---

[QUOTE=Rigamarole] Somebody there mentioned NBC playing a clip from another angle but I can’t find it on their website or Youtube. Is that video floating around anywhere? I feel that this is a very pendulous issue and we need to clock it once and for all. [/QUOTE] Now you guys are just winding each other up. ---

[QUOTE=chowder] Well if it was nicked it’ll be on ebay anytime now. “Watch, almost new, nicked off Prez. Genuine article, offers over £10m” Buyer pays postage [/QUOTE] Someone on BBC World News this morning cracked that Tirana street vendors will be selling “Bush’s watch” for years to come. ---
