Bush reacts to the first of three well placed knee strikes to the groin from a well wisher


New Orleans, LA (Rotters) - President Bush was briefly assaulted today by a hurricane Katrina survivor at a photo opportunity outside of an eating establishment in New Orleans. The president was described as dazed and confused but otherwise not permanently injured. His assailant, a woman, was briefly taken into custody by Secret Service personnel and later released. The White House scrambled to explain how the woman had gotten past their screening procedures, and were deliberating over possibly pressing charges. The woman, a 30-year-old African-American female, who wished to remain anonymous, was later interviewed by reporters.
