our president the klutz

[rone]

If Dumbya managed to fall off of a damn Segway, who the hell thought he'd be safe on a mountain bike?

This is something that must suck about being the pres. I fell over on my bike yesterday when my clip jammed in the pedal and I couldn't get it out. I just got up, dusted myself off, and pretended no one had noticed. In fact I'm not sure any one did.

Oh, Tom Ridge noticed.

I hope you're not an issue voter where staying-on-the-bike is concerned-- Kerry fell off his bike 3 weeks ago (http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-05-02-kerry-bike_x.htm).

I think there's some kind of competition going on between the two of them: Bush kicked things off with the Segway fall, then once Kerry felt he had the nomination locked up, he upped the ante falling down on a snowboard (and slipping on a floor) (http://entertainment.myway.com/celebgossip/pgsix/id/03_21_2004_1.html) then doing the bicycle spill within the space of a few weeks. So Bush had to try to catch back up by performing his own bicycle fall. I think this is part of some election-year thing to show what down-to-earth common men they are.

Maybe they can get somebody to put together a stage with a flimsy railing like the one that proved Bob Dole's undoing back in 1996.

BRING BACK GERRY FORD

I gotta say that the pretzel thing is pretty hard to beat.

I knew Dole was doomed as soon as the stage collapsed.

Maybe Nader can make a sequel to "Unsafe At Any Speed" about bikes. Speaking of which, has he fallen off a bike lately?

Perhaps he's been watching reruns of The West Wing and thinks he would do well to act like Martin Sheen's character?

That he'd pick falling off his bike as the feature to emulate would be about right, too.

I'm probably going to jail for saying this:

"mak it look like an accident", they said.

Um, the Segway was faulty in that incident, not Bush.

It was revealed that when the power runs low, Segways tend to collapse like Fox ratings.

So how did the President end up on a scooter with dangerously low battery charge?

It was a setup by some LIBERAL kooks no doubt.

Well, he can keep going at it (with that can-do American attitude) as far as I'm concerned. Anyone want to chip in on a motorized pogo stick and trampoline?

Umm, wait a minute. Mouth guard?

The President's smile is the smile that makes the world feel safe. It must not be imperiled.
