USA Today
published an interesting article on what actually happened when
Mr. Bush fell off his Segway last week
(Story/Photo):
"President Bush meant to fall off his
Segway. Oh, I'm sure of it. What we've got here is a clever conspiracy . a pre-emptive strike to save the oil industry from a technology that could sap its power.
Over the weekend, while on vacation, Bush looked like Chevy Chase doing a Gerald Ford imitation as he stepped onto the platform of a Segway personal transportation scooter and went flying right off.
The first U.S. president to try a Segway supposedly forgot to turn it on, so the gyroscopic stabilizers couldn't automatically balance him."
