Phillip Adams in his column today writes of President Bush, in the context of last week's "surge" speech,:
Then there was the President's one and only tear, snail-trailing down his left cheek. Haven't seen such a sad, solitary tear since Malcolm Fraser's famous sniffle on the night of his defeat to Bob Hawke in 1983. Two famous tears, equally expressive of self-pity.
As it happens, I only saw very brief excerpts from the speech. However, if there was a Presidential tear on the cheek, I would not have expected to read about it first in a Phillip Adams column days later.
Did this really happen?

Ah, thanks for that. It seemed when I first read that article that Adams was talking about the televised speech itself, but it wasn't entirely clear whether he was referring to that or a separate incident.
