Bush Gets Back on the Segway

Pool reporter George Condon of Copley News Service reported today: "Yes, the Leader of the Free World did, indeed, hop onto a Segway scooter and cruised for an undetermined distance at the Guest House under the no-doubt admiring gaze of his Japanese host. . . . he new Segway was a gift from the president to the prime minister. One has to use one's imagination as to how fast the President guided the Segway or whether he managed a more graceful dismount than the last time he was seen on one of these scooters."

Condon dubbed the Segway "Scooter One." Reuters photographer James Bourg dramatically captured Bush's last Segway dismount in 2003 at Kennebunkport. Segways use gyroscopes and sophisticated computer technology to stay balanced at all times. But Bush hadn't turned his on first.
