A Throw Back To The Throw Up

What was Dan Bartlett recalling when he said this about President Bush?

I’m not sure if it’s a stomach virus yet, or something like that, but is not feeling well to the stomach. And I guess he didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his father in Asia.

When President Bush visited Japan in January 1992, he reacted to the arrival of Japanese beef steak with a projectile vomit into the lap of Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa.  Then he slumped under the table.  Then he said he felt great.  Take a look:

Of course, not everyone at the time thought he was doing great.
