Reporter Who Called Bush ‘Idiot’ for Segway Fall Cracks Ribs in Fall from Contraption
Breitbart TV ^ | 09/03/2007 | Breitbart TV

Posted on 09/03/2007 3:14:37 PM PDT by rfp1234

The ex-newspaper editor took great delight in making fun of President Bush for falling off a Segway - the two-wheeled, motorised, gyroscopically balanced scooter that, its makers promise, will never fall over. However, he was bitten by karma and suffered the same fate as Bush.

Sweet. I refuse (chuckle) to take delight (giggle) in the misfortunes of (tears running down cheeks) of a pretentious git such as Morgan. < John Wayne voice > “Like hell I won’t!” < /voice >

Immortalized:

In 2007 he broke three of his ribs in a Segway accident, two years after having called American President George W. Bush an "idiot" for doing the same. However he still managed to perform as a judge for the finale of America's Got Talent shortly after.

Holy cow! I hope he doesn't turn the gyroscopic disruptor field up too high! Bam! There go the seasons.

when he is 80, and when winter comes, I hope his ribs still ache and remind him.

What a jerk.

"The President should send him a get well card."

Since he said only an idiot could "make a pigs ear" out something as simple as riding a Segway we should all go to the pet store and buy some pigs ears to send him. He would have more than a full "delete" file on his email system to remind him of the irony.

I was hangin' 'round town, just spendin' my time
Out of a job, not earnin' a dime
A feller steps up and he said, "I suppose
You're a bronc fighter from looks of your clothes."
"You figures me right, I'm a good one." I claim
"Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame?"
Said "He's got one, a bad one to buck
At throwin' good riders, he's had lots of luck."

I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
To ride this old nag for a couple of days
He offered me ten; I said, "I'm your man,
A bronc never lived that I couldn't span."
He said: "Get your saddle, I'll give you a chance"
In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch
I stayed 'til mornin' and right after chuck
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck.

Down in the horse corral standin' alone
Is an old Caballo, a Strawberry Roan
His legs are all spavined, he's got pigeon toes
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
Little pin ears that touched at the tip
A big 44 brand was on his left hip
U-necked and old, with a long, lower jaw
I could see with one eye, he's a regular outlaw.

I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight
Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds
Get outta the way boys, he's gonna unwind
He sure is a frog-walker, he heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings, for to be on the fly
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
He sure is a sun-fishin', son-of-a-gun.

He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range
He'll turn on a Nickel and give you some change
He hits on all fours and goes up on high
Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
There's some of them left, they haven't all died.

I'll bet all my money, the man ain't alive
That'll stay with Old Strawberry
When he makes his high dive.

Marty Robbins, The Strawberry Roan Lyrics

When Kaman launched his 'hype' campaign... before photo's and a full description of what the Segway actually was... I have to admit, I was more than a little intrigued.

Claims of 'a revolutionizing vehicle'... and boasts that 'it would need its own lane'... got my imagination going.

Then, it made its debut... and what a let-down!
