Go to the NYT front page and hit refresh until you see a picture of push. There are strange markings on his handsand chin (the ones on his palm almost look like cigarette burns). Wierd... does anyone know if he's had some moles removed or some such? Usually the press is made aware of minor procedures like that.

He fell off his mountain bike while on one of his famous working vacations on the Crawford TX ranch, and scraped his face all up with booboos.

Ya know the old cliche, "easy as riding a bike?"

Apparently that's too hard for our Feckless Leader.

Press Coverage

[Moogs]

Heheh. That'd do it.

Maybe he should've used training wheels.

[Naderfan]

Actually, I read somewhere (forgot where) that Kerry made a quip like that...something like "what, did the training wheels fall off?" but it wasn't really on the record. Wish I could find that again.

[curiousuburb]

two wheels side-by-side (segway) : nope.
two wheels inline (bicycle) : nope

brutally attacked by the terrorist ground twice.

coming soon...

Yeah, I read about this in Time Magazine. Had a good laugh even though I really like and respect the guy. The pretzel thing was funny too, haha.

Nice. I actually laughed out loud at that one.

scrapes cuts and bruises are actually badges of honor for mountain bikers.
this incident actually makes me like the poor old sod somewhat.
but man he is sooo screwed.
many times when you're out on the trails your mind begins to drift instead of concentrating on your line.
his last thoughts before going over the handlebars (an endo, for non-bikers) were probably something like...."it was all going so well....how did i end up in this sh......." (whomp!)

[stoo]

I thought an endo was where your weight pitches forward but you manage to avoid going over your handlebars, winning you the admiration of onlookers.

[SKMDC]

it's a case where we're both right.

endo n. the maneuver of flying unexpectedly over the handlebars, thus being forcibly ejected from the bike. Short for "end over end". "I hit that rock and went endo like nobody's business." See "superman". In BMX riding, "endo" used to be a synonym for front wheelie.

i never rode BMX, but i once endo'd at the lakefront bike-path and belmont avenue looking at a babe.
man was my face red, blood, embarrassment underneath.

by the way the definition comes from here

The guy is a recovering alchoholic. Who is to say that he did not fall off the wagon rather than his bike and in the process damaged his visage a little bit?

Besides, a man with Bush's interocular distance should not be riding bikes anyway. His peripheral vision must be very, very poor. Maybe that's what explains his myopic approach to all things political.

I really don't like the guy...

[Moogs]

Bertle-fickle!

War on Gravity.... LMAO.

[psmith2.0]

Well, if our every move, word, action, thought, statement, eye-blink, throat-clearing and shoulder-shrug were denounced, assailed, questioned, second-guessed, torn apart, mocked, ridiculed, flamed and debated, we'd probably look like hell too.

Goes with the territory of being the Most Hated Guy Ever™, I suppose.

Or it could be that bike thing.

[Moogs]

This thread is a traves-sham-ockery!

That is true. I've been mountain biking for a few years now, my arms and legs are scared up. It's not all that bad, and I've gotten better since my early days when I would "eat it" on a regular basis.

Sounds like Bush may be a newbie at the biking thing, either that or he just took a spill...but it's funnier to think of it the other way around.

[SKMDC]

17 miles would be a pretty long haul for a newbie.
although president bush seems to be extremely fit. (just not for office)
