dc, that seems more like a story of the idiocy of the people surrounding Bush than the man himself. From an insurance standpoint, anyone that had been hurt on the ground would have had a very hard time collecting anything other than basic workers compensation benefits. A prudent person would have known that it wasn't a good idea to in front of a tractor being driven by a brand-new, untrained operator.
I'm no Bush apologist, but this strikes me as much more of a "god, the press is full of a bunch of idiots" moment than an example of a Bush-ism. Similar to anytime I'm exposed to paparazzi, which is just a less-evolved version of the White House Press Corps on the road anyway.
