Bush's Awkward Segway

President Bush surprised Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi by giving him a Segway yesterday during his visit to Kyoto. The president, who fell off one of the electric scooters two years ago in Kennebunkport, rode "Scooter 1" to meet the Japanese leader outside the State Guest House and urged him to jump on. "Oh, very good," said Koizumi, who coasted about three feet.

If that weren't enough free publicity, Bush told Koizumi he gave Segways to his mother and father for their birthdays. (Scooter-races down the White House halls! Kind of reminds us of those carefree Clinton days, when there was tray-surfing in the Air Force One aisle.) But where will Koizumi ride? Segways are illegal on Japan's public streets.
