Bush Injured

Read the complete article here

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush suffered cuts and bruises early Saturday afternoon when he fell while mountain biking on his ranch, White House spokesman Trent Duffy said.

Bush was on the 16th mile of a 17-mile ride when he fell, Duffy said. He was riding with a military aide, members of the Secret Service and his personal physician, Dr. Richard Tubb.

"He had minor abrasions and scratches on his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees," Duffy said. "Dr. Tubb, who was with him, cleaned his scratches, said he was fine. The Secret Service offered to drive him back to the house. He declined and finished his ride."

[...]

Earlier this month, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry 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."

Sorry, Leftists, but it appears Bush will survive...

By the way, Drudge is reporting:

Kerry told reporters in front of cameras, 'Did the training wheels fall off?'... Reporters are debating whether to treat it [...] as on or off the record...

Typically classy move by John F-ing Kerry...

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

    Sorry, Leftists, but it appears Bush will survive...

    I don't see anywhere in the post where anybody wishes Bush wouldn't survive. But taking a cue from Ann Coulter, we have to slip that innuendo in to shock and mislead our right winger buddies into action.

    (And what you don't really know is that his fall off the bike is Clinton's fault)

    Bush calls reporter Asshole on Camera.

    Typically classy move by The Leader of the F-ing Free World...

    (and shall we compare which one shows less class?)

    Aw, BCB, you know the extreme Left would be dancing in the streets if Bush kicked the bucket. France would probably call a national holiday.

    Bush called an asshole reporter an asshole. Not classy, but true.

    Kerry, with his remark, shows humor but no class. He merely parrots the Leftists who think Bush is a buffoon.

    Anyway, the media (and Gore) made a big stink about Bush's "asshole" gaffe. This same media is unsure of whether to publish Kerry's on-camera remark.

    Gee, I wonder why...

    Perhaps the extreme Left, I dunno. But you lumped all us Leftists into your comment.
    :-(

    The only thing worse than Bush as president would be Cheney as president.

    if Bush kicked the bucket.

    I guess that would be a bucket of extra-crispy?

    He falls down a lot, doesn't he? This is what? The third time he's fallen...didn't he fall off a segue?

    It would suck if he died, then Cheney would actually be president.

    Bush is the accidental president in more ways than one.

    BTW, when you crash your bike and get all scuffed up, your scrapes are called bacon. And you have a yard sale if all your stuff gets spewed all over the place.

    Yeah, they'd love Cheney.
