I keep hearing how terrible it was for Bush 41 to look at his watch during that townhall debate in 1992. I always thought this was the dumbest, most manufactured, bogus non-”gaffe” in modern memory. Even the totally fake supermarket scanner story looks like a huge issue by comparison. The guy was on national television, he was president of the United States, he looked at his watch to see how much time he had left in the debate. What in the world is wrong with that? If looking at your watch during a debate means your disengaged from the common man’s problems I guess running your fingers through your hair means you’re opposed to tax cuts, and tying your shoe means you think the Rosenberg’s were innocent.
