Bush helps with Segway PR - url & stills posted

[Itsi Atkins]

Bush closed with a hilarious video montage of Vice President Dick Cheney zipping around the country on a Segway scooter, set to the tune "He's a Rebel."

This was at the recent White House Photographers Dinner. I will have copies of it soon.

Twice as Smart.

If someone knows how to put quicktime clips on this chat I have many of interest: Bush, Japanese TV, Segway meeting, Dean speaking, etcl.

[Sal]

Depending on their size, Edwin, I'd be happy to host a few of the clips on my personal webspace.

Sal, only Itsi's Japanese movie is showing, the Pres. Bush one isn't there.

I sure would like to know what the Japanese are saying!

Will, I need your help. tom friedman book The World Is Flat, it the same speech that Dean gave in NY recently at the
FIRST Dinner. I have FIRST's support and want to use Randy Shaeffer, the local cord. Dean and Tom as VIP judges for the June 25th event. We will have 40 vintage cars in the park plus Segways for the day. Press and political leaders will attend. Tom Friedman lives in Washington and is a Segway supporter. Do you have anyway of getting to him.

Okay I'll give it a shot.


The reporter makes a comment about traffic and walking.
Says therefore we get something like this.
<pans to Itsi>
Says you can't ride it in Japan but NY...
Intoduces Itsi.
Says Itsi rides well.
Asks if he can ride (in english)
<climbs on>
Makes comments like its easy to go forward and turn.
Anchor cuts in and says its perfect for central park.
Reporter says its fun and easy.
<Cuts back to anchors>
They make a joke I don't understand.
Say it looks fun etc.


Well, thats the basic idea anyway(my Japanese isn't so hot).


Itsi, you should have told me you were comming to Tokyo!!
Where was that filmed?
Did you ride much in the city?
What did you think of Japan?

[Sal]

I don't think that was filmed in Japan, It looks like Times Square to me.

Yep, so it is.

If all those yellow cabs and suvs didn't give it away, the crowds of non-japanese in the background sure should have.

<sigh>

[Itsi Atkins]

Yes, on a very friendly Japanese corner of Time Square. 42nd and Broadway. If I make it to your big City, I will let you know. I have plans for more pr in Japan from my contacts at Fuji TV.

[Itsi Atkins]

I have the Chaney riding the Segway around Washington, very funny. I am trying to send it to Sal, but having trouble. I asked someone to help so it will be up SOON.

Great Video, Itsi.

Thanks for bringing it to us!

Each road you travel should be just a bit better for having had you pass.

[Itsi Atkins]

You would think that if Bush had some assistant make this video, that it would have been better production. Looks like a bad photoshop job for an audience of professional photographers
