RUSH: Did you hear about John Kerry? Do you know how old John Kerry is? It's tough, you know. You can't tell a horse's age when you look it, and since Kerry looks like a horse, it's tough. But he's 71 years old. Now, would somebody tell me something? What is a 71-year-old man, secretary of state, doing riding a bicycle -- or, alternatively, windsurfing off Nantucket? Why is somebody riding a bicycle while in the midst of sensitive negotiations and attempting to secure nuclear weapons for Iran? Exercise? BS.
He's doing that for the photo-op, trying to look hip with the young generation that thinks life is all about exercise and fitness and so forth. Photo-op. That's why here's out there riding the bike. Same thing with the windsurfing. It's basic to me. You'd have never seen Dean Rusk with a bicycle out there. You'd have never seen Dean Acheson out there at Dulles on a bike. You'd have never seen the great Colin Powell out there on a bicycle heading off to a meeting at the UN. This is embarrassing.
But that's not the point.
The point is that old Lurch... Remember the picture when he put on a costume to make himself look like a sperm crawling through tubes at NASA? Remember that? We'll post that picture at RushLimbaugh.com. When he was running for president in 2004, he looked like a sperm, out there swimming for an egg. So he's got a history of looking odd. Well, he had on one of those weird-looking, pointed, bicycle-delivery guy helmets. Anyway, somehow Lurch didn't properly negotiate a curb and broke his femur.
Quick, what's the femur? (interruption) It's the thigh bone. As opposed to the tibia, the femur (people of Rio Linda would not know this) is the thigh bone. Just consider it the thigh bone. It supports a lot of weight. They had to take Lurch to the hospital, and it's so bad now that he's being flown back to Boston 'cause he might need surgery. You know, I remember what Obama said, that there's a lot of doctors out there who do unnecessary surgery just for the extra quick bucks, like amputations and so forth.
You know, unnecessary.
So I just hope Kerry does not get one of those doctors Obama was talking about and ends up with his leg amputated here just for the quick extra buck.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: It's a good point. John Kerry should apply for another Purple Heart. Yeah, another Purple Heart. Well, it was an on-the-job injury, kind of, taking a break from sensitive negotiations with the Iranians, riding his stupid bicycle. I mean, really, seriously, folks?
Original photo op which was discarded ...
Mossad agents have a top-secret pothole making device they use for certain situations.
Dear Rush: GIVE ME A BREAK. Not all people in Kerry’s age group are obese decrepit windbags.
Windsurfing is far too mundane for Kerry
He Kite Boards!
That’s a painful bone to break.
And if it’s complete or compound there is a big risk of infection.
Sucks to be him.
No kidding. That was pretty dumb. Of course, I know some in their 40's in bad shape.
And with a girly bike too. No wonder
Patton was the " brass target."
Kerry is the "ass target."
Well at his age he ought to know better than ride a bike
He’s been a “Wanna-be” all his life and now he pays a price for “wanna-being” Lance Armstrong.
Kerry is actually a fairly skilled rider, and has a lot of experience.
Apparently, he was riding at a slow speed on a flat section, and just wasn’t paying attention.
Whether he should be riding at all when he holds an important government office is another question. It doesn’t look good when you’re out pursuing your personal hobbies while on an important diplomatic mission, however quixotic.
Exactly, these limosine liberals don't work, they play alot and the real work, like nuclear negotiations fall by the wayside. This accident and the LOST TIME could have been avoided, leave the friggin bike home Johnny boy and get to work.
That's the point, his age is irrelevent.
I think we marginalize ourselves when we laugh at these misfortunes.
Break occurs 3 feet higher and we got a state funeral..
Dam,just dam!
He’s already filed the paperwork for a Congressional Medal of Honor.
Whether a Secretary of State be 31 or 71, he or she should not be on a grueling bike ride when he’s traveling on official duty.
Agree 100%.
