I did a for Bush and bicycle and didn't come up with anything. I'm surprised that nobody posted this yet because its really a hoot.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/05/22/bush.fall/index.html

We're the most powerful nation in the world and our dictator can't even ride a bike.

Do you remember when the chimp fell off of the Segway? If not, here's some pics to refresh your memory:



I heard that SNL just rehired Chevy Chase to play Bush...

KellyC

I thought its impossible to fall off those things....guess I was wrong...

Yeah, the President must be a fucking idiot to crash a bike, since no one but complete idiots fall off of bicycles. No one has ever choked before or fell off of a Segway that wasn't a complete moron. This guy must be stupid! We wouldn't want him to be human or anything...US Presidents must be super humans unable to make mistakes.

Lasereth, when you're a fucking idiot, all it takes is crashing a bike to really highlight the fact.

He's just following in the embarassing footprints of his father. Remeber when Daddy Bush puked on the Japanese Prime Minister?

Lasereth, have a sense of humor about it. How can we not make fun of the POTUS when he crashes his bike and falls of a Segway? We're only laughing because he wasn't seriously injured. If he had really injured himself it wouldn't be a laughing matter.

BigGov

How come I find it hard to believe people would not be celebrating a life threatening injury to George W.?

Yes. You are right . How dare us make fun of him.


Now, that's sarcasm.

I hate politics, and I really, really hate presidential debates, but how much press this is getting is simply stupid. Pointing out human characteristics of a President shouldn't be warrant to say he's an idiot or a fool. If this were any other person, no one would give a shit. The President isn't some kind of cybernetic super human incapable of screwing up.

I know everyone hates Bush, and hell, I don't agree with a lot of his actions, but him falling off of a bicycle and getting this much press is immature.

People are going to make fun of the President no matter who he is or what he does. That is a fact of life. What I don't understand is the media feeling that this is worthy of reporting. But then again, I hate the media more than most politicians.

But don't you find it relatively amusing that the ONLY PERSON EVER to be photographed falling off a Segway just HAPPENED to be the president of the United States?

I agree that the BICYCLE thing getting so much press is dumb but the Segway thing is hilarious.

Maybe the reason he's the only person to be photographed falling off of a Segway is because he's being photographed 24/7. If someone photographed me that often, they'd catch some pretty funny things as well!

Well a lot of weird things happen at the white house. I would to hear a news line saying "President hurt his hand wanking"

analog

You have two people standing next to each other. One is an average joe, the other is a total idiot. Certified.

Average joe is handed something, he accidentally drops it. Oops, it happens.

Total idiot is handed something, he accidentally drops it. He's still a total idiot. The fact he dropped something draws attention to his character- you see he's an idiot, and you say so.

What i'm saying is, Bush is an idiot. - Personal opinion, based on all gathered data. Also- no one falls off a Segway. I don't know how he pulled it off.

/sarcasm on

Well, at least he didn't blame the Secret Service. You know how sneaky those guys are...

While he might be the only person to be photographed while falling off a segway, there have been VIDEOS of many other people falling off a segway.

Which proves Bush is either an average joe or an idiot. Gee, way to say nothing at all.

You know, I am not a supporter of George Bush at all. I do not like his politics, I do not like his staff, I do not like just about everything about the man.

However, I have respect for the guy. At his age he is mountain biking 17 miles - apparently on a regular occasion. From what I've seen of his ranch, the terrain isnt all that easy as well.

He fell, big deal. I bet half the people on this board making silly comments are in worse shape than this guy.

Echo. That's not bad. Plus, he dusted himself off and finished the ride.

onetime2

Sure glad everyone else here is perfect. And I'm certain no one here who's criticizing him has ever fallen off a bike. I'll bet you've all flown a jet too right?

Yep the President must be an idiot since he fell off a bike.

Oh wait, that makes John Kerry an idiot too sine he's fallen off a bike recently too.

That cinches it. Since I have not heard that Ralph Nader fell off a bike I have to vote for him. No bike accident = genius. Yep that's the way to go.

i've fallen off my bike plenty of times... i think we need to know what he was attempting to do at the moment of the crash. If he was doing a wheelie or a bunny hop or crossing his hands over then fair play to him. If however he was pointing at something off to the side or got his feet caught in the spokes or looking at his feet then he's stoopid.

17 miles on an electric scooter ? that sounds a bit crazy to me, surely a mountain bike is actually easier? like you get to sit down and all

It was a mountain bike. We had a segue to the Segway.

Yeah, after looking back on it, I find it quite funny. The President is out riding a mountain bike 17 miles. He gets to the 16 mile mark, crashes, then GETS BACK ON and finishes, then rides all the way back to the starting place.

How many presidents can you think of that mountain biked 17 miles? How many can crash, get scraped up real good, then get back on and finish?

If anything, this makes Bush look like more of a tough person than anything else. People making fun of him for this are simply looking for anything to make him look stupid.

Again, I hate Presidential debates, but this coverage on a stupid bicycle accident is dumb. Especially when he got back on and finished.

He didn't crash when snowboarding, though. That son-of-a-bitch secret service agent cut him off. You know, the one sworn to take a bullet for him....

maximusveritas

I could care less about him falling off bikes and Segways. Sure, it'll be good for a laugh on Leno, but what I really care about is the way he's failed to lead this country. That's what really matters.

pocon1

That's right kutulu, call Bush a dictator and a chimp. that makes a lot of sense, you fucking moron. Oh, I am sorry, we are not supposed to make personal attacks here, are we? I guess when you cannot back those things with facts, you cannot honestly say them. BTW, you're not really a fucking moron, are you kutulu?

I don't like Bush, and I want him out of office, but falling off a bicycle or a segway is not that interesting or relevant to his ability or inability to lead a country. The man is president, whether you like it or not. If you don't like him, vote him out of office. But you will lose the respect of many people if you resort to simple name-calling.

I care more about the fact that he thinks he has enough free time to go off rding for several hours considering that there is still one occupation (Afghanistan), and one war going on. I think he takes his vacations and relaxation a little too seriously. Most Presidents look pretty haggard and worn out after a few years. He keeps looking better and better, health-wise.

onetime2

I think the secret service agent was just trying to scope out some of the cute snow board chicks and Kerry got in the way.

Hey do want proof that he's a chimp?

I rest my case.

The way Kerry handled that made him look like a dopshit too.

Munku

I read that too fast. First read, I swore I saw "Lasereth, you're a fucking idiot.." Whew..

But yeah, who the hell falls off of 2 different vehicles, and chokes on pretzles.. Man I've seen 6 year olds do tricks on those things!

ruggerp11

And to think, he has the nuclear launch codes



In all honesty I asked my self as soon as I saw it "was he drunk?"
