Bush seeks safety during tornado alert



Associated Press
12/30/2006 03:02:07 AM EST

Saturday, December 30
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) — President Bush and first lady Laura Bush were moved to an armored vehicle on their ranch yesterday when a tornado warning was issued in central Texas, the White House said.

The vehicle was driven to a tornado shelter on the ranch at 1:30 p.m. CST, and the president, Mrs. Bush and their two Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley, sat inside until the weather cleared, deputy White House press secretary Scott Stanzel said. They were never moved into the shelter, he said. The shelter is a few hundred yards away from the president's house on the ranch.

"He was in the vehicle for about 10 minutes and then he went back to the house," Stanzel said, adding that other members of the staff at the ranch were sheltered as well.

1. What amazes me here is the sought shelter in
an armored vehicle.
Did they think that because it would stop bullets that it would stop a tornado?
The vehicle could have been a hunk of armor flying through the air bashing the fruit inside.
Absolutely stupid move, but maybe they were hoping the funnel would grab him.

2. ha, good one
:)

I imagine he was a little freaked out. I mean seriously, God can't be too happy with all the name dropping louts like Bush do. If Bush kept using my name to justify his idiocy I would be sending a tornado his way too. Well, if I had the power to do so anyway. :)

5. now, watch him strut around like he did something brave, like ride out a
storm by refusing to head into the shelter.
"I'm the deciderer and I decidered to face the storm alone, standing tall like a real murican. And didja hear that saddam bought the big one? heh hehe, take that, dad."
