Need video clips & eyewitnesses who've seen Bush after 9 am Wednesday.

I'm chasing down an unconfirmed rumor that Bush may have cut short his visit to the Naval Medical Center in San Diego because of a medical problem. I've heard second-hand accounts that he left hastily, no explanation given, and was seen stumbling up the steps to Air Force One, aided by Laura. One person I spoke with suggested a possible minor seizure of some sort.

one TV station reported that he never went inside the hospital, waiting outside 15 minutes in the motorcade. They later retracted the story and said he did visit with wounded soldiers or vets, but didn't want to take advantage of the situation with a photo op.

SINCE WHEN DOES BUSH SHOW THE GOOD TASTE TO PASS UP A PHOTO OP OF ANY SORT?????

I would appreciate any information that would confirm or refute these rumors.

1. I heard he was in the bag

there are reports floating around that he was too drunk to walk or speak today. I think this "vacation" may be the beginning of the end for his diastrous stay in Gore's house.

2. With * I would agree with the in the Bag

reason over medical reason.

4. maybe...but that wouldn't explain the abrupt department

from SD; as far as I know, he was fine at the Naval Air Station, where he spoke to veterans, but was stumbling by the time he got to the airport.

3. A TV news director just told me that their pool photographer

was not allowed to go into the hospital with Bush, though the press had originally been told it could accompany him inside. He did go in, but only for a short time.
