LOL -- Kerry: "I didn't know * rode a bike"

[CatWoman]

As he departed from the presidential helicopter with his wife, Bush paused to give photographers a chance to take his picture, then shrugged, waved and got into a waiting limousine.

Earlier this month, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) took a spill from his bicycle while riding with Secret Service agents through Concord, Mass., about 18 miles north of Boston. Kerry fell when his bike hit a patch of sand. He was not injured.

Told about Bush's mishap, Kerry said, "I hope he's OK. I didn't know the president rode a bike.

1. He's almost dismissive of him, ain't he?

Like, hey, he rides a bike...who woulda thunk?

[Jack_Dawson]

2. Can Bush Ride ANYTHING without falling off?

Juss wunderin'...boy don't seem too coordinated. Oh but he was top of his flight class.

[buycitgo]

4. maybe he fell off Pickles

trying to banish that thought

[AntiCoup2K4]

7. Well, since Jenna and Babsie are twins....

....that might very well be the only time he didn't fall off Pickles. After all, isn't that supposed to be easier than riding a bike :evilgrin:

[tridim]

3. Whistle ass doesn't ride a bike

If he did, the PR pics would be plastered all over Faux. "See, Bush rides a bike too!"

5. Shoulda had training wheels. We see why Chimpy's afraid of horses.

8. did you hear Kerry's quip on that very subject?

mentioned here somewhere already

[Octafish]

9. "Just tryin' to stay outta harm's way"--G.W. Bush

That sort of says it all, oasis!



"How ya'll like my next job?
The gas station? No. Heh heh heh.
Got a quarter?"

6. He didn't fall off a bike

he fell off the wagon more n likely.

10. His palm is scraped also, so he was conscious when he fell.

That or their staging is pretty good. If it was a short seizure he could have regained consciousness in time to catch himself, right? Who bikes with their personal physician wearing a mouth guard. Very strange.

[FreedomSpirit]

11. I believe you mean consciousness, Spotbird

* never had a conscience and conscientousness about anything other than being on vacation has never been evident.

As far as being conscious, that has always been pretty questionable with "W", too. Just because his eyes are open, doesn't been he's conscious OR conscientious!

[spotbird]

12. Damn spell-checker.

It can't read my mind and I don't read it. You are absolutely right.

[troublemaker]

17. The eleven words of that title are sublime

[peekaloo]

13. I'll bet he was reaching for the playing card he had clothes pinned

to his spokes.....makes his bike sound all fast and neat and stuff.

[Spazito]

14. Hmmm, I haven't seen any pictures of him on the bike prior...

to the fall, that strikes me as odd. There is no doubt that Rove would have the press out there showing how "athletic" he is. Until one shows up with him on a bike without the scrapes, I doubt the story.

[ILeft]

15. Don't be so hard on him- maybe he's just now learning to ride.

That would explain the fall.

16. confusing your handle brakes=instant face plant

:D
