President Bush took a hard tumble off his bike on Saturday, suffering minor cuts on his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees.

...

Once cleaned up, Mr. Bush was offered a ride from the secret service, but declined instead hopping back on the bike to finish his ride.

...

he paused to allow photographers to document the damage.

...

John Kerry, who crashed his $8,000 bike earlier this month, told reporters in front of cameras, 'Did the training wheels fall off?' ...

The media and entertainment personalities always mention klinton's follies with a wink and a nod, letting us know how childish and immature they think those who would dare criticize the wonderful and powerful Oz klinton are. They never mentioned klinton-lewinski with disdain...they mentioned it only while obviously showing contempt for those who thought it was abominable.

did the training wheels fall off?

Puns are for children not for groan men.

[miltonim]

It was too big of a story and it was getting out through the Internet.

An example:
FULL DRUDGE: BLOCKBUSTER REPORT: LEWINSKY PASSED ON THREATS TO TRIPP -- FROM PRESIDENT!

Then, once on of the major media outlets broke a story, the rest would have to follow.

Yeah, they don't call it censorship. It is called selective reporting. That is the reason we don't take the mainstream media serious. They are as bona fide as Air America.

The Seratta is a nice bike.

However, I prefer Pinerello.....and the flex of Italian steel beat the 1/2 pound advantage of titanium any day.

Aluminum? Passe.

I'm confused-

Good for you. Admitting a problem is the first step to fixing it.

LOL!

It's actually "grown", not "groan", but in this instance, I think your use of the word "groan" might be right!

Congratulations, you've given us a new term to describe Kerry; he's a "groan man."

Bush Response,,,,"Well, I don't think it's serious enough to warrant a purple heart!"...

[cajungirl]

Pandering to gravity! I love it! I think he is pandering to the tort lawyer group who are surely planning to sue the rocks.

[cajungirl]

I think his use of groan was a pun and a damn fine one. I am going to refer to John Kerry as a groan man from now on.

Well the reason Kerry falls so much, such as when he had his "knarly spill dude" off his ski-board (and cursed out the lowly secret service dude)and his bike, is because he`s too top heavy. I mean look at that noggin, do they have to call carpenters to cut extra space in the frame when he walks through a door?

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

My God, I think Kerry looks more French in that picture than Jacques Ch-Iraq.

Troll alert!

Nothing like zotting and bagging a troll on Sunday Morning before Church.

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

Tell me about it, can you imagine if Bush said half the stuff Kerry said? For some reason Democrats seem to think it`s ok to curse out the people who protect them, such as secret service agents (see Hillary as well as Kerry) firemen, cops, and our own military. Lets also not forget that in the last election, Al Gore wanted to get overseas ballots from our military disqualified, yet complained about felons not being able to vote by bringing down Jesse Jackson to protest and cause a ruckus about "blacks being turned away from the polls" rather than tell the truth that convicted felons are not allowed to vote by law. (It says a lot when democrats trust convicted felons more to vote for them than our own military) They are truly the mutts of the mutts, just an absolute pox on this country. We are at war and they are actually fighting against us. Why they are even being considered to lead this country, is something I will never understand in a million years. I equate it to us fighting the Nazis in WW2 and Nazi sympathizers actually being considered to lead the USA in the next election. What`s wrong with this picture?

I'm confused- if the media is so liberal, why did they spend a year publishing everything about Clinton's Lewinsky episode- didn't seem like they were trying to protect the liberals and hurt the conservatives then.

Were you born this clueless, or did you have to work at it?

[King Prout]

sure it did, DUhmmie: It distracted the public from Clinton's innumerable real crimes and kept him from being booted from office in disgrace, arrested, tried for high treason, and hanged.

[John_7Diamonds]

The media spent the time on Lewinsky trying to convince everyone that it was just about "sex" and not that there was any wrong doing.
