[AngryWhiteLiberal]

What a great way to get Moore's Palme D'or Award out of the news...way to go dumbass.

Sounds like he did a face-plant. I hope it hurt REAL bad.

Bush Suffers Minor Abrasions in Fall from Bicycle
Sat May 22, 2004 05:43 PM ET

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush suffered minor abrasions after falling off a mountain bike on his Texas ranch on Saturday, the White House said.

The 57-year-old Republican president had cycled 16 miles of a 17-mile afternoon bike course when he toppled over while riding downhill on soil loosened by recent rainfall, White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters.

"He had minor abrasions and scratches on his chin, upper lip, his nose, right hand and both knees," Duffy said.

7. Ha. He fucked up his face just in time for his "big speech" tomorrow

:bounce:

Another drunken "pretzel" incident.

[DS1]

3. Those damn partisan Reuters headlines

[SOS]

4. Did Cheney take off the training wheels?

nt

[starroute]

21. Thought he said Iraqis were ready to take the training wheels off

But I guess he really said, "I'm ready to take the training wheels off."

Try again, George.

[Doosh]

5. lol, and he's got a major speech on monday

hope his face looks all beat up

[neuvocat]

6. Reminder, please do not drink and drive.

eom

[Media_Lies_Daily]

8. It's a cover story. He lost a three-rounder with a pretzel.

[snippy]

27. This "pretzel"?

[mulethree]

9. sounds like a real face-plant

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

10. You have to wonder, though. If this won't generate some sympathy

Granted, the sympathy won't be coming from Dems who are now bathing in schadenfreude, but I can't help but wonder if the fence-sitters and Repuke lemmings won't rally around their "injured" leader.

I'm not religious, but just in case I'm wrong. I want to say thank you to the higher power with a sense of humor and justice.

15. By now, they're probably hoping something would happen to...

...cause Cheney to take over. They may be thinking that it couldn't get any worse, and it would remove the "middle man". Or is that the "muddle man"?

[Snellius]

11. He'll have to put a bag over his head for Monday's speech

Or what? Oh, fabulous, he's going to be all bruised and bloody as he sermonizes on the state of the war. That should look appropriate.

[daleo]

16. Maybe he could wear one of the sandbags they put on prisoners in Iraq

That would certainly be appropriate.

[Webster Green]

12. Ha ha ha ha....Bicycles, segways, golf carts, helicopters....

SUVs, pretzels.....Ha ha ha.....what a fucking idiot!

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

13. Yep. Looks like his cerebellum to a big hit with the years of ETOH abuse

Brain damaged through-and-through.

KARMA.

JB

[shraby]

14. I'm sure the military has

a bag to put over his head.

[bemildred]

17. Must have run over a pretzel. nt

[rusty charly]

18. BWAAHAAAAHHAA!

the "soil was loosened by a recent rainfall"

rainfall... yeah... that's the ticket!

[stopbush]

20. Yep. They've always got to provide some form of cover so bush

looks blameless. "The pres is a great bike rider. It's the loose soil's fault!!"

Question: how many of the others in his bike-riding party (SS, Condi, et al) also wiped out in the *loose soil* and got all fucked up? None. I thought so.

[tabasco]

25. Anybody know where the Clenis was last night?

Did it go and take a leak on Shrubbies bike trail?

[catzies]

24. THAT SOIL HATES AMERICA AND OUR TROOPS

n/t

[Cocoa]

19. the wheels came off

:-)

[rocktivity]

22. Bush DEFINITELY needs a mouth guard

Bush, who was wearing a safety helmet and mouth guard during the bike ride...pedaled the remaining mile to his house, Duffy said.

I've never heard of a cyclist using a mouth guard. Or his is talking about Karl Rove?



:headbang:
rocknation

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

23. Yeah, I thought that was odd too. Maybe he was boxing?

Alternatively, maybe they didn't want him biting his tounge while he was riding. I have the mental picture of Shrub biking with his tounge wagging out of the side of his mouth like a dog.

JB

[homelandpunk]

26. No, what he needs is a "Special Ed" helmet.

Not just for biking, but for identification purposes.

[Spirochete]

28. That's what he gets

for trying to chew gum at the same time, I guess.

[Malva Zebrina]

29. Sounds like he did a face-plant. I hope it hurt REAL bad.

Made me laugh. Thanks.

He will probably spin it and blame the bicycle. Or
Clinton. He is a klutz, no doubt about it.

Has no sense of balance because he probably has had a drink or two before setting out on these "macho" expeditions.And seventeen miles is a cake walk for anyone who is in shape. obviously this phoney is not in shape . In fact he looks more and more out of shape as we speak

[funkybutt]

30. Didn't he fal off of a Segway once?

thougth i remembered hearing about that. I'd love that video as well.
