What Does Bush Keep in His Pockets? (CNN)
Yes, folks, this is actually a NEWS STORY.

It's a news story, but I understand if someone wants to move it out of "Latest Breaking News" because it is one of the lamest, puff-piece, non-news-stories ever to come down the pike.

They have to humanize the evil thug, don't they? They just can't resist.

Enjoy the propaganda.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush may be burdened with the world's problems, but his pockets are pretty light.

It turns out the leader of the free world doesn't have to worry about carrying all the essentials of the common man.

Bush revealed the contents of his pockets Tuesday to an Argentine newspaper reporter who was interviewing him in advance of a presidential trip to Latin America later this week.

When the reporter from La Nacion asked Bush to show him what he carries, the president stood up, fished in his pockets, then dramatically pulled his hands out holding nothing but a white handkerchief that he waved playfully in the air.

1. will he wave the hanky
when he surrenders to the police when they frog march him out to the Hague? (wishful thinking on my part, I know, but I like the mental picture)

10. Now THAT is Not Natural
that sounds like a wealthy man of a hundred years ago who needed no wallet or keys because his valet carried everything. A man who has nothing in his pockets is not in touch with the everyday world all of us know.

And a great question by the reporter.

12. Sounds like members of the royal family. They don't carry much of
anything in their pockets/purses, either. They have "the help" to tote all that mundane flotsam and jetsam so they don't have to.

17. He missed the perfect chance for an Oscar Wilde quote ...
"A well-made dress has no pockets."
(interestingly, the character's name is Laura)

19. What happened to the badge of the NYPD police officer?
He said he kept it in his pocket to remind him of the sacrifice made by those brave men and women on 9/11.Figures it didnt last long.
