The president laughed this off, and put on dry clothes.
If this happened to Kerry, he would complain about those umbrella manufacturers working for the RNC.

#10  the picture was taken only when after it happened Bush turned around and posed like that

He does look like he is trying to suppress a laugh. . .

#9  Kerry (off the record, of course): "Does Mary Poppins know her brolly is missing, heh, heh".

But actually, I understand from press reports (okay, only on Fox website)that the picture was taken only when after it happened Bush turned around and posed like that! Self-deprecating and pretty thrifty since as POTUS he could have had a "GustBuster" like the bomb-a-rama linked to. I'll bet the Kerry campaign uses this in one of their on-demand focus groups and see how they respond before deciding on the approppriate umbrella response.

#4  Kerry:

"I don't get wet."

"I was against umbrellas before I was for them!"
