Weird CNN discussion that * fell off bike again
The CNN person asks the reporter about word that shrub has had another bike incident. Reporter ignores this and discusses the bike ride only while video plays showing him looking super dorky in shorts with 5 Chinese olympic riders. CNN person again asks, what about the report that he was injured? Reporter pauses then says she hasn't heard anything about that. Almost seemed that the reporter feared bringing this up. She could have said someone like, where'd you hear that? But, she totally played dumb. Let's see if he's all bandaged up later or we don't see him for the next week!

1. Maybe Shrub should just ride with cyclists of his own skill level.
Is there a Chinese pre-kindergarten tricycle team?

22. How about we just lock him up and throw away the key? Then we're
all safer from him, as he will be, from himself. :evilgrin:

3. It's not just Bush falling off the bike
it's the whole damned administration and they are taking down the entire GOP is not the entire country with them.

Bush's actual falling off his wagon..er bike.. is a great allegory for the falling down of America.

12. Exactly. And I think the fact that he keeps falling on his face...
...is some kind of weird metaphor also. I mean what normal person falls face first so often? Does he have absolutely no reflex instincts at all? His recent political behavior seems to reflect this. Absolute non-concern for the political will of the country is going to mess a leader up pretty badly eventually. Could it be that his former supporters are finally gaining enough maturity to realize that the No. 1 quality the US needs in its President is NOT bull-headedness?

23. Who knows
I remember when I was younger I once fell off my bike but how I fell off it I fell and hurt my lip and I've only landed on my face first another time when I tripped. :blush: But it's bad when you're supposed to be the leader of the free world and you keep making mistakes and don't learn from them and change them.

6. Put the training wheels back on.....
it's quite apparent bush isn't ready for big boy's bikes yet. Either put the training wheels back on or bring out the tricycle.
His alcohol and drug abuse are striking back once again. You can't pickle your brain like he has and hope to lead a normal life in your later years.

9. Just this particular bicycle, right?
Cycling is cool, but DimSon has a way of making it a Charlie Brown type of thing without the sympathy.

16. Splat!
If B*** can't ride yet, why don't they just take him to the back of the sporting goods store and put on the training wheels and let him try until he feels better?

That's what you're supposed to do...when you're five...

Can't even ride a bike. For pete's sake.

The laughingstock of the whole world.

18. just maybe he is out of his depth riding w/ 5 Chinese olympic riders.
Or then again he might just be a klutz.

He truly an international embarrassment walking into locked doors,
shoving his way in front of Clinton @ the opening for the Clinton
Library, not going to a meeting w/ S. American leaders because he
worked late the day before, clowning w/ a guitar as NOLA drowns,
running into a Bobbie in England on his bike, choking on a "pretzel"
and mangling the english language.

24. Its "hard work" bein' prezdint!
He was engagin' in what I call "diplomacy." Its a necessary part of this job. Sometimes ya do good, sometimes ya fall on on yer face.

I say he deserves 'nother medal jest fer tryin'!
