President Bush showed yesterday, while visiting his parents at Kennebunkport, that one should not board a Segway while holding a tennis racket. Of course, that is the kind of thing our President is known for, so Gothamist shouldn't be surprised. We suppose at this point, instead of warding off imminent danger, Secret Service men are taking bets to see when the President will clumsy himself into the next black eye. [Via callalillie]
Gothamist does find it cute that the President Bush and his pa were Segwaying together, and we're oddly touched that Barbara Bush is like most grandmothers, walking around in a muu muu. What a way to kick off Gothamist's Segway coverage today! It's like the Secret Service was reading out minds.

He was intoxicated!
He seems to have gotten back up with the reflexes of a cat, so I don't subscribe to the intoxicated theory. Clearly, he's just made for our amusement.
i think dean kamen is probably being held in isolation by the secret service right now and being beaten every fifteen minutes with a wet noodle.
It looks like he did that thing where, when you trip on the stairs, you recover by running away from the spot, as if saying "that commotion you heard/saw? Wasn't me!"
In any case, I hope you guys get as much swag as Tad Friend & Co did on Slate's Segway boondoggle.
i'm so loving bar. not only is she wearing a shapeless old lady frock, but she's itching her ass. mmm...intrusive media.
Trying to ride with a tennis racket? - looks like the pres didn't attend the mandatory orientation. And he is also trying to jump on it instead of stepping on to it. What a spaz.
Dude, that's one scary mumu on Barb...

I love the fact that there's a little pink and purple bike behind him-- when he falls it looks like he's lunging for it.
I know! It's like he's remembering that he can always go back to the bike with the training wheels if all else fails.
Hey, I have a question: Who took these photos and from where? Was this the press corps peeking through the front gate. I mean, are they allowed to just hang out there and aim dark black objects at the President of the United States? What gives?
too bad it wasn't GWB wearing the mu mu. That would be funny.
paparazzi can cause embarassment, injury, or even death - remember Di?...hmm
hiya,
he just forgot to turn it on, hence the device falls over. it happens to many owners, but usually only once an usually not with camera people in your backyard.
cheers,

No, I'm sorry, there's a woman behind him in a white miniskirt and ankle chains who pushed him...
Yeah - who's the hotty in the white miniskirt? Let's see more of her...
Way to distance yourself from the common man, Bushie! What, everyone doesn't scoot around on $5000 scooter toys all day? Why on earth not?! What's this about average inflation-adjusted household income decreasing since 1973? Don't bother me with that nonsense! I am the proud owner of two or three Segways which I will use once or twice! Away with you!
lol
2 Fast 2 Furious: the sequel
What is wrong with you people? Don't you realize that that is the built in security system of the Segway? They are calibrated to each individual owner. Unless you have a guest key for that particular Segway installed you get tossed off. READ PEOPLE READ!!
If these things are balanced for you then it's nearly physically impossible to fall off one. If they're not then it's nearly physically impossible to stay on one. Either way...
Dat wasnt so bad, de first ladys got a good set o gams !!!
bottom photo, this kid don't stop for no pedestrian.. or garden
he must now invade Iran to draw attention away from the tragic fall.
thats not president push. your all gulible. word.
Mr President, you must push the "on" button first... it doesnt works otherwise...
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have entered code ORANGE. Dont be alarmed, but we have reason to believe that the "axis of terror" tried to assasinate the president v.i.a tampering the segway. These evil doers WILL be brought to justice...
