Once again proving that Albanians are fucking ninjas, the sharp-eyed will notice, circa the 0:56 mark, some lover of fine timepieces tug the venerable Watch of POTUS straight off of GWB's wrist. In front of God, the U.S. Secret Service, and everyone.
Now, it's tempting to bash the USSS for letting the Commander-In-Chief get pickwristed by the teeming millions, but I suspect this was more of a judgment call on their part. *Someone* must have noticed, but correctly assumed that chasing down some Albanian street urchin in that crowd was more bad press than it was worth.
The more pressing issue remains -- when can we expect to see this watch on eBay?
**Update: Apparently we're now just plain lying about everything, by force of habit. The White House straight-facedly asserts that there was no watch stolen here. No, in fact it is Bush that is the ninja, having executed an oddly prehensile one-handed watch removal in between handshakes, presumably after sensing the manifest danger to the presidential watchworks.
Glad that's cleared up, then.
