A reporter asks the president an interesting question.

Of course, the guy was from Argentina. Imagine a Medill grad doing this.

AP's version:

One of the benefits of being president is not having to lug things around with you in your pockets.

A curious Argentine newspaper reporter who interviewed President George W. Bush Tuesday asked what he carries. Bush stood up, fished around in his pockets and came up with a single hankie. Said Bush to the Spanish-speaking reporter: "No dinero, no mas, no wallet."

The president doesn't carry any cash, doesn't need a cell phone and doesn't lug around any keys, since all his needs are carefully catered to, including people who open doors everywhere he goes.

When the reporter asked if the president had a watch, Bush proudly thrust out his wrist and said, "Si, Timex."

Roto-Reuters version:

Inquiring minds want to know. What does President George W. Bush carry in his pockets? Not much, it turns out.

A Latin American journalist at a briefing on the president's trip to the region this week told Bush he wanted to ask the "unofficial" question that he asks all presidents -- what does he carry in his pockets?

Bush magnanimously answered by pulling out a white handkerchief with a flourish and then rummaged around in both pockets.

And finally, showing that he had nothing to hide, Bush pulled both pants pockets inside out. They were empty.

"Es todo. No dinero," ("That's all. No money.") Bush joked in his own brand of Spanglish. "No wallet, no bolsa (wallet)."

He even showed off his Timex wristwatch, but quickly added: "I'm not supposed to be endorsing products."
