This is beyond weird:

What’s next, a skateboard? 
Although segways are pretty geeky looking, I think it would be fun to try one.
Secret Service agents successfully wrestled the Segway to the ground…
Ha!
Really though, can you imagine the president riding around on one of those things?!?
It’s like Dr. Evil on his motorized cart.
Pure Gold!
Please tell me there are pictures. Please.
Nevermind. The link finally worked for me. Stupid slow connection.
I wish there was a big, clear picture of him riding. I would put it on my desktop.
Man. Heads have got to be rolling at the Segway factory today…
Ha! Yeah, I thought one of the good things about those was that you weren’t supposed to be able to fall!
Vancouver’s mayor took one out earlier this week-- and smashed into a wall. He failed to fall off, however.
Falling off a Segway takes work.
There ARE pictures. Right here:

It kind of looks to me like the Segway’s handlebars crashed to the ground before he had properly gotten on, so technically he didn’t have a chance to fall off. Maybe he didn’t get a good enough grip to begin with. And frankly, that was a good jump and his knees never touched the ground.
I think they should have an official presidential one so he can just tool around the white house on it.
Clinton got Monica to do that. And Bush had to get a Segway to do it? Can’t he do anything right?
Make Dick Cheney use a pogo stick
Condi can be on roller skates
All diplomats visiting the White House must jump through the Hoop of Death before entering the Oval Office
How long does he have to revise his opinion? (hee hee)
Um, that is, how long does she have to revise her opinion?

George 41 is cooler than George 43. Just wanted to share that.
Definitely, they are gonna HAVE to produce a Presidential Segway. And of course, it’s only a matter of time 'til they have to cover the things in warning stickers and add an automatically-deploying “topple bar”.
Dr. Rice on roller skates? …maybe in-lines. I can see that. Don Rumsfeld and Colin Powell would have to figure who gets the skateboard and who gets the BMX bike.
Ok, so I gotta chime on this. There’s a REASON Duh-bya fell off the thing.
Yes it’s ‘impossible’ to fall off of. Yes this is because of the gyroscopes in it.
Are you aware, as the President apparently wasn’t, that this only works when the thing is POWERED UP. It has to be turned on and warmed up before it can hold itself (and its rider) upright.
So the President tried to stand on top of an unbalanced piece of plastic, not an actual functioning Segway in working order. It was turned off. It couldn’t have fallen over like that without some SERIOUS effort on the part of Mr. Shrubbery.
I think it’s funny. But it’s also scary. Our PRESIDENT, the guy in charge of the entire planet, pretty much, doesn’t bother learning how something works before trying to use it? :::shudder:::
Then, on top of that, he wasn’t the only one there. SOMEONE gave him that scooter and let him use it. Why didn’t they turn it on for him? Not that I would have either, but there’s obviously much to this story that’s not being reported. Surprise surprise.
Gotta go, jackbooted thugs at the door again. q;}
er… 'It couldn’t have fallen over like that…" IF it had been powered up.
AOL is using the photo of Dubya in mid-tumble as its welcome screen pic this evening. 
Oddly, the caption and news link has nothing to do with the incident.
