Hands reach out to grab the arms of U.S. President George Bush, as he greets crowds of Albanians in Fushe Kruje, Albania, in these Sunday, June 10, 2007 file photos. There were rumours on Tuesday that US President George Bush had lost his watch while greeting crowds in the Albanian town of Fushe Kruje on Sunday. One moment Bush was greeting Albanians who had turned out to meet him, and was wearing a watch with a dark strap on his left wrist. Moments later, it was gone. Did it fall off? Did one of his bodyguards remove it?
Or did one of the crowd artfully slip it off his wrist and pocket it? The White House on Tuesday emphatically denied that Bush's watch was stolen during his visit to the country, where he was warmly welcomed and acclaimed as a hero.

They love him in Albania. Come back, George; we need more jewelry. Where else but in a pack of thieves could this guy be welcomed as a hero? I hope the irony isn't lost on you, because I'm sure it is lost on them.
It's also cool how the administration can "emphatically deny" something to which there is photographic proof. Top photo - watch. Bottom photo - no watch. Watch stolen? Nope.
US: Hey, umm ... what happened to your watch?
HIM: Nothing.
US: Well, you were wearing one earlier and now you're not, so I figured...
HIM: No, I wasn't wearing a watch.
US: There are photographs.
HIM: Rats.
US: What time is it?
HIM: I don't know.
US: Why not?
[pause]
HIM: I gave the watch to Tony Snow. He's going to wear it up his ass for 20 years, then give it to your son while he's at home watching TV.
US: That's Pulp Fiction.
HIM: OK, look. Maybe I had a watch, maybe I didn't. Is that as important as the War on Terror? We need to fight for freedom, no matter what time it is. Heh-heh. It's very important.
Sing it, Sam.

Thankfully, their is documented evidence of him shuffling the watch away into a pocket, because I dont think we need to be bombing albania to get back a timex
