BUSH: “I’m about to crank this sucker up.”

[kpete]

“I would suggest moving back,” Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor during his visit to a Caterpillar factory today. “I’m about to crank this sucker up.” Newsweek notes, “As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety. ‘Get out of the way!’ a news photographer yelled. ‘I think he might run us over!’ said another. … Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.”

4. Don't mean to be nasty but

when I first read that quote I thought it was a reference to his relationship with the "lump in the bed". Then when I read that he is quoted as saying "I would suggest moving back" ... I thought it was a directive to Pickles. Now I see these statements have to do with steering a tractor.
