For days now, the job at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County has been to follow the order from the White House through the Secret Service and down to the park workers:

"The president's feet are not to touch the dirt."

So all yesterday, large crews drawn from all county parks worked to ensure that, as always in his life, George Bush's feet do not touch the ground when he appears in the big park today.

Bush arrives for a fund-raiser at a restaurant in the park. That is indoors and he doesn't have to worry about his feet there. But he has to go over ground to an administration building where he is to meet with families of 9/11 victims. After that, he has to go over more ground to get to the site of a memorial to the victims.

He doesn't want his feet on the ground and he will be at a groundbreaking ceremony.

Yesterday, a big guy, who had been fixing serious pipe leaks in the county executive's building, was on the walkway unrolling wooden storm fencing that would create an alley for Bush to walk down.

"When you get the fence up, what do you do?" he was asked.

"Cover the ground so his feet don't touch it."

"Is that true?"

"My boss told me that. If he says so, it's true."

"That sounds crazy."

"It sounds like I get paid every week," he said.

[many a good man]

1. Ahh, the privileges of royalty

What's next? We must avert our gaze when he walks into the room??

[StraightDope]

10. Avert your gaze...

As I climb this magnificent crystal staircase to my office in the sky. -HS

[longship]

2. He's stark raving, barking mad.

Our President is totally out of his mind.
Who does he think he is? I know.
He thinks he's our king.

[mcking]

4. He's known as "King George" in our house...

sarcastically, of course.

[LTR]

3. Will they throw rose petals at his feet?

Do his feet touch the dirt at his ranch while clearing brush?

[Straight Shooter]

5. They simply don't want to contaminate the dirt. n/t

8. DID BUSH KNOW THE DIRT WAS POISONING THE GROUND ZERO WORKERS?

That IS the question, and if he did, how truly disgusting he is.

9. I don't think his hand has touched his own asshole

His valet wipes him after he shits, and Jeff Gannon takes care of it for recreational purposes.

[smomfr]

11. Not to worry........

he´ll be up to his neck in shit once he arrives in hell.

12. the same thing happened in New England somewhere

W and his mother were scheduled for an event that was on the coast somewhere -- I think it was the opening of a National Park feature of some kind -- and a whole expensive wooden walkway was built over the ground so that their feet wouldn't touch the dirt, sand, rocks. I recall seeing the photo.

13. No problem...

* has found something else to walk on.
