Bush Rescue Secret Service Agent

WoohooO! (okay, maybe rescues is a bit strong).

Bush pulls secret service agent from scuffle

UPDATE: thanks to Pat, I found this neat little snippet on opinionjournal.com:

[The agent] walked in behind Bush, who looked enormously pleased with himself. He was wearing the expression that some critics call a smirk, and his eyebrows shot up as if to wink at bystanders. The Post quotes Marcelo Romero, a Chilean reporter: “All of us journalists agree that President Bush looked like a cowboy. It was total breach of protocol. I’ve seen a lot of John Wayne movies, and President Bush was definitely acting like a cowboy.” Apparently some journalists think that’s a bad thing.

    I have to say that I smiled a very big smile when I read that. A more detailed (and opinionated) version of the story can be found on today’s Best of the Web Today at http://www.opinionjournal.com.

    My favorite part of the footage was when he “brushed off” his sleeves after emerging from the mob.

    cowboys are awesome. I seriously think that they are almost “American Knights”.

    I agree, cowboys are awesome! Almost like knights, except for the whole chivalry, code of honor, and sword thing…

    actually, cowboys were quite chivalrous, contrary to western films. There also was a sort of code of honor; you did not harm a woman, you did not steal a horse, and if you did, you were hanged.

    I agree that the sword thing was gone. Replaced by the “Peacemaker”.
