Newsweek (found via This Modern World):

Does President Bush have it in for the press corps? Touring a Caterpillar factory in Peoria, Ill., the Commander in Chief got behind the wheel of a giant tractor and played chicken with a few wayward reporters. Wearing a pair of stylish safety glasses--at least more stylish than most safety glasses--Bush got a mini-tour of the factory before delivering remarks on the economy. "I would suggest moving back," Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor. "I'm about to crank this sucker up." As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety."Get out of the way!" a news photographer yelled. "I think he might run us over!" said another. White House aides tried to herd the reporters the right way without getting run over themselves. Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor's window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned. The episode lasted about a minute, and Bush was still laughing when he pulled to a stop. He gave reporters a thumbs-up. "If you've never driven a D-10, it's the coolest experience," Bush said afterward. Yeah, almost as much fun as seeing your life flash before your eyes.

what's so wrong about that? i'm not defending the man in the tractor (i'd like to drive a tractor too), i'm just saying that if something happened to someone in the press corps, i wouldn't be too upset.

Why didn't anyone hit the X button when they were close to the cab and then smash the B button a bunch of times.

Let's see who gets the joke.

Are you kidding me? This site is frequented by Halo addicts.

i don't approve of this maneuver since i am the one usually being pulled out of said vehicle and beaten to death. stupid birdie.

its your own fault for not killing me before i reached the vehicle. and i had to do something since you insisted on constantly running me over.

whatever i have my own copy of halo 2 now. practice everyday 6 hours. ur gonna be sorry.
