"I just saw CNN replay it over and over and it's obvious Bush was alerted it was coming because his laughing face and "dodge" at just the right time reveals it all."

I imagine what his prep schools, his Yale years, and perhaps even his Harvard years - and consider him sitting around in a campaign office or in his governor's office - all of it leads me to think that his entire life has been HORSING AROUND with school mates and friends. It was probably very important to save face in all those situations by pretending it's all in fun, but better to be on the offensive than the defensive. He has lived his life as a good joke.

I don't consider your first sentence as being alerted. He just practiced what he has done all his life - the the point that his jokes were terribly offensive. Honoring someone with a medal, then telling the person not to sell it on ebay. Low down uncouth stuff. He's always ready to play games - making upnicknames, smirking at someone who is pleading for their life.

He's an unmasterful jokester on strings.

So I don't agree with that one premise. He always had to be alert for that snap of the towel on his butt.
