Now here's a real media-whore non-story about an incident that had nothing whatsoever to do with the Resident.

Worse, even, than Jimmy Carter's narrow escape from that rabbit naval attack! God must've been looking out for him:

Bush unharmed after car breaches security

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. -- A woman said to have "snapped" from stress drove her car with three children inside past a police checkpoint and rammed it into an arena where President Bush had given a speech. Bush was unharmed and authorities said later she had never intended to hurt the president.

Bush was in his limousine ready to leave the building when the incident happened Saturday, a senior administration official said. He left the arena less than five minutes later from an exit about 40 yards from the car.

Authorities swarmed the car with weapons drawn and took away the driver and her children. Secret Service and local law enforcement investigators concluded after interviewing her that she had no intention of harming the president, said Ann Roman, a Secret Service spokeswoman.

"Essentially, she was trying to locate her mother-in-law, who was attending the president's speech," said William Jenkins, the FBI's acting special agent in charge in Jackson.

The woman, who was not carrying any weapon, was arrested for trespassing, Roman said in Washington, D.C.

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified the driver as Betina Mixon, 29, of Horn Lake.

Mixon, a nurse's aide and the mother of three sons, had been under stress recently because of marital problems and a hysterectomy, said her friend Amy Graves, of Walls.

"She just snapped," Graves told the DeSoto Times for its online edition Saturday.
