Bush Pulls Top Security Agent From Fracas
Nov 20, 8:51 PM (ET)
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.
Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. The incident happened after Bush and his wife, Laura, had just posed for pictures on a red carpet with the host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife, Luisa Duran.
As Bush stepped inside, Chilean agents closed ranks at the door, blocking the president's agents from following. Stopping for more pictures, Bush noticed the fracas and turned back. Abandoning the other three (bodyguards), Bush walked over to the agents, reached through the dispute and pulled his agent from the scrum.
The president, looking irritated, straightened his shirt cuffs as he went into the dinner. The incident was shown on APEC television.
"Chilean security tried to stop the president's Secret Service from accompanying him," said White House deputy press secretary Claire Buchan. "He told them they were with him and the issue was resolved."

TR proabbly would have outright shoved the Chileans out of the way and dared them to do something about it. Lord knows he was big enough to pull it off.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.
Wow, Bush really is just as much a badass as Teddy Roosevelt. I'd bet if he'd had a chance to lead men into battle like Teddy, he'd have jumped at it, right?
Oh, wait...
Sorry, but someone's not a badass because they yanked a Secret Service agent out of a shoving match. Please. What were the Chileans going to do, shoot the President of the United States? I've pulled people out of shoving matches, am I a Real American Badass?

Okay, so that's cool. But it doesn't make me like Bush.

It's all relative, buddy. Here you got, essentially, the most powerful man on the planet... getting his knuckles dirty for someone that is essentially a mobile kevlar vest.
Is it badass? Well, we have to ask ourselves, what is a badass? Is a badass someone that can kill a room full of hardened killers with a peach pit? Or is a badass someone that doesn't hesitate one single second to get in a rumble with some fuckers in order to do what he thinks is right?

Ofc this man also thought it was right to attack Iraq, and that it's right to deny marriage "to them durn faggoty girly men" so It really becomes a moot point.

Yep what a guy he didn’t hesitate to “get in a rumble” (though it has to be said a pretty low end “rumble”) “with some fuckers in order to do what he thinks is right?” in this case he believed it was right that he should have dinner.
He must have thought that the Vietnam war was in some way not "right" though because he certainly hesitated for quite a few seconds over that particular “rumble” and in the end avoided “getting his knuckles dirty” entirely.

Out of sheer curiosity tinted with a bit of underhanded motive, would you consider John Kerry to be a Genuine American Badass? After all, he *did* actually *fight*.

Please indicate what "rumble" you're talking about, or when Bush got his "knuckles dirty". Bush yanked a guard away from a door, and it's hardy wank-worthy.

Oh.. Lookie there.. A circlejerk. Well okay boys, make sure you have enough tissue to clean up the mess when you're done. And clean the tweezers before you put them back when you're done jerking. That's just nasty.
And let me know when Bush does something intelligent that might actually garner respect from those other than his fawning fanboys.

If that makes Bush a badass, what does that make former PM Jean Chretian who actually chocked a protester?

Damn straight, our politicians were flipping the finger to reporters and punching the public before it was the cool thing to do.

Well, actually Bush is kind of strong - depending on what they mean when they say he can bench 175 (do they mean that is what he benches during workout or what he can do once?). Regardless, that would give him stronger upper body strength than the majority of Americans.
