Another bit of footage I revisited during the 9/11 cycle was the video of President Bush sitting in that Florida classroom. Watching it again five years later, Bush looks boyish and uncomfortable, as though someone had put too much starch in his clothes.He was not reading ``My Pet Goat,'' as was so often reported. Worse, he was listening to a classroom of 16 second-graders reading ``My Pet Goat'' aloud to the torturously numbing, metronomic thumping of someone rapping in time on a desk top.
The book the President was reading with the children was titled "The Pet Goat."
