"What this country needs is a president who doesn't fall off his bike..."

President fell off bike today... Kerry told reporters in front of cameras, 'Did the training wheels fall off?'... Reporters are debating whether to treat it is as on or off the record... Developing...
It is a funny comment.....
Even more reason for the networks to air it; show Kerry's humorous side so people can get to know him.
President gets hurt, Kerry laffs...those leftists are so friendly and nice. NOT.
More proof of the hatred and meanness of the left...
Not only that, but coupled with Ms. Pelosi's comments, it shows a total lack of class by the Democrat leaders.
Bush should respond... "well, I don't think it's serious enough to warrent receiving a purple heart!"
Maybe some Bast**d pushed him???
(1) It is a rather juvenile commment for a Presidential candidate. Does Kerry lack gravitas?
(2) Has Mr. Kerry fogotten his own recent bike spill. Does the pot call the kettle "black"? At least Bush was off-road on a mountain bike when he fell. As I recall, Kerry fell when he encountered some sand on the road.
(3) Since the comment makes Kerry look snide and immature, the mainstream press will ignore it.
My take is that Kerry saw the Freeper imagery when training wheels were digitally added to the photo of him on his bike.
Seeing as he himself fell off a bike not too long ago, he's in no position to talk. Especially since he fell when he supposedly "hit a patch of sand" riding a racing bike on pavement. Bush fell while mountain biking on rough terrain.
I want to see the pics of Kerry's tumble.
"What this country needs is a president who doesn't fall off his bike..."
I'll bet George didn't blame it on secret service and proceed to call them an SOB.
Kerry is an upper-class (parvenu, but still upper class) leftist who looks down his nose at Bush and his followers.
He probably doesn't hate him, but he probably is contemptuous of him.
Why shouldn't the people who are going to vote know that?
He's a bet that will get no takers:
Suppose W's tumble was caused by bumping into a Secret Service agent. I'd wager W's first words would be "You OK son?"
If questioned by the press about the fall W would laugh it off.
Voters will tolerate a great deal, but when it comes to the presidency, being an *sshole isn't tolerable... at least for the vast silent majority.
It was a normal day on the bike path until the President rounded a corner and saw Helen Thomas roll in front of him. While she blended well with the craggy rocks and cactus, the movement startled him. He took the high road and fell off his bike rather than injure himself more severly by absorption into the cravasses of the wrinkled reporterette.
Excellent!
I forgot to laugh --- it doesn't seem that funny --- especially coming from a man who had had a couple of injuries himself recently --- he plows into someone skiing, and didn't he himself just fall off a bike?
