All I Want for this Press Conference...

is a fucking Segway?

Check it:

Bush was riding the vehicle when he met Koizumi outside the Kyoto State Guest House in the ancient Japanese capital, a Japanese pool report said. ... The scooters can be tricky to ride. Bush fell off one two years ago but managed to land on his feet. It is also illegal to ride them on public byways in Japan.

So not only is the President spending taxpayer money (I assume) on a scooter, he gave it to a guy who can't even use it in public. Which may be a blessing, because if he falls, pictures of said stumble will end up all over the internet. Couldn't you have just brought the Prime Minister a Yankee Candle or something? That's what my Mom brings to family functions.
Also, if the President met the Prime Minister outside, didn't he just commit a crime according to Japanese law? Can we arrest him? Please? And waive extradition?
