The pickpocket of the century

Here's a news clip of our president in Albania -- the only pro-Bush country left on the planet. Watch closely after he crosses to the second crowd .. there he is, shaking hands with the crowd, surrounded by several very nervous Secret Service guys. Then a whole bunch of hands go around his left wrist .. and "poof" his watch is gone! Suckers stole his watch!

I don't know why, but I think the whole incident is funny as hell.
 
I was shocked that the Secret Service let him plow into the crowds at all.
 
And why do the Albanians get to swarm all over him and we can't even ask him a question?
 
Someone once said nothing is true until it has been officially denied.
 
So the White House officially denied that the President had been robbed. One official said Bush had removed it himself and put it in his pocket. Another official said he put his arm behind his back so the SS could take it off.
 
Typical. Who you going to believe -- the White House or your Lying Eyes?
 
That was one continuous video and clearly shows he had it on one moment and it's gone the next. Where does it show him stopping and removing it?
 
Why does the administration deny something as simple as this? Maybe because they didn't want to insult Albania -- Bush's last friend in the world -- by publicly stating that they stole his watch?

Is it on Ebay yet?
