About a year ago, Bush and family were in Kennebunkport, Maine taking yet another vacation when Bush tried riding a Segway. He did manage to narrowly avert make a five-point landing with the thing:   two knees, two elbows, one chin. Dumping himself on the thing was pretty klutzy (it's supposed to be "foolproof" technology, which of course, opens the door for speculation along several lines of thought), but he did manage to recover without damage, so whether or not he's a fully ordained stumblebum was, at least at that time, open for debate. He wouldn't be the only president who would probably be weeded out early in auditions for the New York City Ballet. Gerald Ford was famous that way. The Prez in mid-fllight.
