What a dumb fuck.

1. What's this...a swipe at those who like show tunes over

right-wing crap?

From the article:

"It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose," the spokesman said. "You know this president. He likes to go all out. Suffice it to say he wasn't whistling show tunes."

OOooohhh he's SO macho! Please I know people who bike for TRANSPORTATION and have altercations with cars.

I hate, loath and despise this man with more vigilance each passing second.

[ET Awful]

4. Going all out my ass. . . .

If he was "mountain biking" as the story goes, he could have handled loose top-soil.

What a load of horse shit.

[Parrcrow]

2. He was trying it without training wheels for the first time

but he did have a helmet to protect his...........hair, I suppose.

[ikojo]

3. Sure is no intellect for a helmet to protect that's

for sure! He's already recognized as a vegetable.

He gives bicyclists a baaaad name. Stupid f*rk!

[trof]

5. Who rides a bike wearing a "mouth protector"?

Never heard of that.
Biking is a contact sport?

[underpants]

6. Actually it is not a bad idea

I haven't talked to any of my mountain biking buddies but I would be surprised if this isn't fairly common.

[NJCher]

8. loose topsoil?

As a gardener, I laugh!

10. As a gardner I ask you-Isn't all topsoil loose?

:eyes:

I heard about this as we were getting ready to watch some DVD's and I laughed out loud. What a dis**t.

[Bertha Venation]

20. they claimed it had rained, that's why the topsoil was loose -- LIE.

NO RAIN IN OR AROUND CRAWFORD FOR A WEEK . . . .

Lying mofo assholes. I loathe this adminstration.

[underpants]

23. They are lying about the WEATHER too?

Geesh. Maybe God told W it was going to rain or something.

[Bertha Venation]

25. You sound surprised.

Come on, 'pants, get with the program. The Bush Administration will lie about ANYTHING.

ANYTHING.

[underpants]

27. So much for the old saying...

"Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it"

They are actually doing something about it....if only in a revisionist way.

No I am not surprised.

[trof]

21. OK, maybe...

Even sports such as competitive bike racing put people at risk for having their teeth broken or knocked out when the bike slams down on hard, rugged terrain. Several competitive racers and amateur mountain bikers have recently begun wearing mouth protectors to cushion the blow, Ranalli said.

I just don't see * thinking of this. I bet his doctor suggested it.

[opiate69]

33. actually

mouth protectors are recommended to minimize the risk of concussion... not sure how it works, maybe we have a sports trainer or doctor who could shed some more light on the subject..

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Bush does...here's a recent photo

...actually, here is a photo of Bush's REAL "mouth protector"...

18. She looks "French".

7. Funny, I saw video of Kerry riding a bike yesterday in Boston

He didn't seem to have much trouble.

Oh FOX made sure to mention that the bike KErry was on cost $2-3K no mention of what mountain bike W was on.

:shrug:

[BiggJawn]

12. Fox gets it wrong...Again!

If Kerry can get a Serotta for 3 kilobucks, I wanna shop where HE does. The freaking frame ALONE is $5,000...

It's relative. If I can make a goal of "rewarding" myself for reaching a health goal with a $3,000 custom bike, and I make only 39 kilobucks, why shouldn't Kerry be able to ride a $9,000 bike if he wants?

Bush probably wrecked some POS Karl picked up at Walmart. "Yes, George, you have to learn to do this. Polls say everytime Kerry puts those faggy tight shorts on he gets more votes from biking women..."

"OK, Unka Karl, but I'm not wearing those shorts. I'm still sore from that sock roll you stuffed in that flightsuit last year..."

[underpants]

16. Ooops I think I had that wrong

I heard some POS RW talking head (Mike Gallagher?) a few weeks ago mentiong that Kerry rides a $6K bike or something like that. I knew $2-3 K was too low my bad. Hell what does a top end Trek cost?

I have a thread in GD with a picture of Kerry riding YESTERDAY (no training wheels required) I'll go get it and post it here.

You are right I know several mountain bikers and the last time I went to 24 hours of Snowshoe (5 years ago) there were several mega bikes there and not just with the weekend warriors, the down and dirty ride to live work in a bike shop crowd.

[underpants]

17. Pic of Kerry definitely not a Cannondale, Trek maybe?

[Karenina]

26. Hmmm....

Seems someone had the good sense to wear gloves... ;-)

[BiggJawn]

31. Anyone who rides for reasons other than cameras being nearby...

...knows you wear gloves when you ride.

:evilgrin:

[BiggJawn]

30. A Serotta "Ottrot"...

Frameset is 5 kilobux, an Ottrot, as tested by "Bycycling" mag (Campy Record Carbon gruppo) lists for $9,000 MSRP.

[underpants]

35. Okay thanks

I can't say I have ever heard of that brand but it has been a while since I was really into riding.

[BiggJawn]

36. Me neither. I wonder who else besides Kerry owns one?

Not Leno, that's for sure, not "Mr. The more gas-eating toys I own, the bigger my Dick"....

[BlondieK143]

9. Does this really surprise anyone?

I mean come on, he can't even chew food!

[2cents]

11. More like a rematch with a coffee table...

...with the same result. (0 for 2)

But I'm sure next time he'll bring his "A" game.

13. here's my .02

accidents happen. no need to badger the bloke . . ..

[trof]

22. um...where is lincolncity nebraska?

Just asking.

19. That's what happens when Cheney lets Shit-for-Brains

out of the White House without his kneepads and his elbow pads. "Awww, diddoo get a boo-boo?"......... "Poor baby!"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

24. LMAO..."Despite bike spill, Bush celebrates with daughter"

What a trouper! What a MAN! What a rugged, sweaty, testosterone-in-overdrive macho sumbich we have for a leader!

According to the Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2587180), "Despite bike spill, Bush celebrates with daughter."

Despite his own personal agony, he pressed on.

Because his daughter was more important than his own suffering.

"Tubb checked Bush out at the scene and pronounced him "fine," Duffy said. The president reportedly declined the offer of a ride back to the house from the Secret Service and finished the bike ride."

LMAO again...Bush was checked out "at the scene"...when medical examiners arrived at the "grassy knoll," it appears that the president had fallen on his fucking BINKY...but wait, there's more...

"It was unclear what caused the president's tumble, although Duffy said there has been a lot of rain in Crawford lately and the topsoil is loose."

Have the medical examiners and forensic experts ruled out stupidity?

"Duffy also noted that Bush is a sports enthusiast and said "he wasn't poking along, whistling show tunes" on his ride."

No, he was playing air guitar to "Ram It Down" by Judas Priest...that's my guess, anyway.

THANK YOU for this fine example of hard-hitting journalism, Houston!

:toast:

[mr blur]

28. " Suffice it to say he wasn't whistling show tunes.", eh?

Wow, he's a REAL MAN, and no mistake. Ignorant fuckers.

[slackmaster]

32. Let those who ride mountain bikes and have never wiped out

Cast the first aspersions.

Not to defend the prevaricator in chief, but just about every time I ride a mountain bike off-road I take at least one good spill. I have scars to prove it.

If you never fall down off a mountain bike you probably aren't riding hard enough. I think it's irresponsible for the President of the United States to engage in dangerous sports.

[camero]

34. He was BWI

Biking While Intoxicated.

[chaska]

37. Remember when he fell off the Segway?
