Blood seeping into his shirt, Theodore Roosevelt staggered into the auditorium. Unsatisfied with having been President twice, he had formed his own party, the Bull Moose Party, and was running for President again. Ignoring everyone's advice, he mounted the podium.Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been shot ... but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.He then proceeded to give his planned hour-and-a-half speech.Roosevelt was then rushed to hospital and kept there for a week. The bullet stayed inside him for the rest of his life.
