Bush's Travel Director Mugged in Waikiki

[deminks]

The president's travel director, 25-year-old Greg Pitts, was mugged this morning in Waikiki. It happened at 2 a.m. outside of Bobby G's, a nightclub in the International Market Place.

Police say three men attacked him as he was leaving the club. The men kicked and punched Pitts and then ran off with his wallet and ID.

A janitor for the International Market Place says he was called in to clean up blood on the sidewalk this morning.

The White House press office reports that Pitts' nose is broken, but he remains awake and alert at Queen's Medical Center.

(end snip) You know, listening to Mike Malloy just now, he reminded me of the Indonesian curse prior to Smirky's arrival, and with this and Babs and the tire, and the motorcycle wreck, well I just wonder..........

1. Voodoo Justice?

Maybe there's something to that voodoo stuff. Or maybe the rest of the world just doesn't like anyone who is close to our "first" family, and are expressing themselves.

2. Another drunk in the WH?

"Sources tell KGMB9 Pitts was too drunk at the time of the attack to give police a description of the three suspects."

This preznut needs to be grounded now to keep all his dirty little secrets secret in Washington. * appears to have drunk his way through Asia. His continued trips next week should be cancelled.

14. Hangin with the Bad Boys at Bobby G's

These republicons have a lot of class, that's for sure.

No wonder the self-designated "Christian" hardcore loves them, they really know how to party.

3. It was an indigestion curse.

I don't think it covered mugging. I have to say, though, that if you kill two living creatures for a curse, you should be able to get a bit more than indigestion.

4. uh, make that 3...I also noticed the monkey

has very slow almost slurred speech. He must be on some very heavy downers. Maybe the shaman ratcheted up the curse with the blood of the 3rd creature.

12. Those curses can go haywire

n/t

[bananas]

13. Hay, wire. nt

5. Two people close to the president attacked within 24 hours?

First his daughter, now his travel director? Strange days, indeed.

[RamboLiberal]

6. Don't forget one of the Bush Daughters Secret Service agents

got an bad beating in Argentina - so that's 3 people.

[Generic Brad]

7. And tire fell off the landing gear of Air Force One

Someone is having a bad week.

[texpatriot2004]

8. I heard that was like 6 flat tires at one time. All of them flat nm

[Generic Brad]

10. Sounds like the universe is sending him a message

[Viva_La_Revolution]

15. nope... just one

unfortunately.

[BrotherBuzz]

23. Maybe one tire fell off, but six went flat

There was a malfunction on Air Force One's automatic braking system when it landed in Vietnam ... As designed, it blew out the tire valves, producing six flat tires...

[texpatriot2004]

25. That's what I thought. Thanks for that. I heard it on the radio...

there was some "malfunction"

[texpatriot2004]

9. That's what I was thinking. Plus, weren't 2 of the secret svc in an

accident today? In Hawaii, they were on motorcycles.

[w4rma]

22. Those 3 were motorcycle police who were escourting Bush's motorcade. (nt)

[shanti]

11. yeah

:eyes: and the ss agent allowed someone to jack barb jr.'s purse? come ON. this just doesn't happen. just like 9/11. :eyes:

16. Wonder if 25 year old travel director looking for a little fun?

Drug deal gone wrong or trying to buy some company??????

[gratuitous]

17. It was apparently 2 a.m.

Anyone know anything about Bobby G's, the nightclub mentioned? Where it is, clientele it caters to? I'm just nosy, I guess. I hope Mr. Pitts is all right, but as my parents, numerous teachers and coaches throughout my life have reminded me, there's nothing going on after midnight that requires your presence or attention. Get to bed early, get a full night's sleep, stay out of trouble.

18. Stay away from hookers etc

[gratuitous]

19. Don't do blow

Oh yeah, the list is quite extensive, but pretty common sense. Usually by the time a man's 25, that part of his brain is starting to develop.

[saigon68]

21. been there done that

[TankLV]

24. It's in the International Marketplace - a "tourist trap" in the middle of Waikiki...

A place to avoid if you ask the locals - like I was before I moved to Vegas...

[Javaman]

20. Okay so this guy gets mugged, a SS agent gets the crap beaten out of him...

morons* moronic daughter gets her purse stolen while being guarded by SS and two motorcycle cops crash during morons* motorcade in Hawaii...

I don't know about you but if the basics can't be met to protect our "elected" officials, how does that make the rest of us feel?????????

Oh I feeeeeeeel sooooooooooooo safe now.

just impeach the chimp* and start over.

[Nihil]

27. Well the silver lining of that particular cloud is obvious ...

... if the SS are that incompetent, there's always a chance ... :evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

28. Maybe they outsourced the secret service?

To CACI or Wackenhut or similar mercenary outfits?

[Nick Fallon]

26. Who should I send the bounty money to?
