Dear Lord, a man who manages to fall off a two-wheeled unbalanced vehicle is not trustworthy on those grounds alone.

Awww, c'mon. I think everyone here knows my opinions on Bush but that's just a stupid comment. If only more would take care of their health as he does the world would be a better place.




Although I'd wish he spent as much time training his brain


ps. I just had to add that last one. Forgive me.

And may I add, it was also raining.

If this is the standard that other countries choose their leaders by, then no wonder there's so many dumbasses in the world.

PS - Yo, you from scotland - you should be making fun of the French instead, afterall they did insult your whole country and culture just recently.

Everyone knows that the British can't cook (and neither can the French). Hungarian food is best. Only slightly more than half of those who chose (or were allowed) to vote selected Bush. The rest know that he can't speak when Cheney is drinking. At least Lance hasn't fallen yet. sam

Did he call the cop he collided with a son of a bitch and accuse him of pushing him?

Ok, the Washington Post have just made me go

The officer was on a security detail. He is a member of the police department of Strathclyde, a nearby town, McClellan said.

1) Slow day for news?

3) Do you realize this isn't the first time (not that it matters)?

It's not really a political statement - more a 'duh' moment (and amusing as hell)

3) Do you realize this isn't the first time (not that it matters)?
Yeah, he's always falling over/off things

4) Are you a pooftah?
Why sir, yes I am

Heh, about the only thing I can think of right now is probably the post-dinner conversation between Blair and Chirac

These expressions are funny because of what happened.

The expressions of the girls because of a dog being dropped is not funny. Call 1-800-funny and find out.

Trust me, I'm no fan of the guy but this WAS an accident. Plus, he did a very decent thing and called the cop afterwards to apologize and asked his personal physician to look in on him if need be. Pretty decent thing to do in my book.


Bush Involved in Bike Crash in Scotland
The Associated Press
Wednesday, July 6, 2005; 10:45 PM

GLENEAGLES, Scotland -- President Bush collided with a local police officer and fell during a bike ride on the grounds of the Gleneagles golf resort while attending a meeting of world leaders Wednesday.

Bush suffered "mild to moderate" scrapes on his hands and arms that required bandages by the White House physician, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. The accident occurred on asphalt, McClellan said. It was raining lightly at the time, and Bush was wearing a helmet.

The officer was on a security detail. He is a member of the police department of Strathclyde, McClellan said.

The president talked with the officer to make sure he was all right, and also asked White House physician Richard Tubb to monitor the officer's condition at the hospital.

The presidential bike suffered some damage, McClellan said, so Bush rode back to the hotel in a Secret Service vehicle.

The fall did not affect the president's schedule. Dressed in a tuxedo, he attended a dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth at the annual Group of Eight economic summit. He showed no signs of distress.

A year ago, Bush was cut and bruised when he sailed over the handlebars while riding a mountain bike at his Texas ranch.

In 2003, he tried out a Segway, the standup, motorized scooter at the family's seaside estate in Maine. It went down on his first attempt, but he stayed on his feet with a flying leap over the machine. Undeterred, he got on again and cruised around the driveway with his father.

He's such a cøck. Honestly, you just know the US is run by his bully friends - Rummie, DICK Cheney, etc.
Bush is just there to be the yokel frontman that is appealing to many Americans - those who see the world in black & white terms and that oh so typical view of being born to "lead the world".

Well, I do have my doubts as to who is really behind this. Let's not forget that the name "Al-Qaeeda" is a US invention to describe a group of armed warriors they originally created in Afghanistan.

As to the French. I love 'em.

I think budster is saying it's the French who are responsible, and thus evil. Makes sense since they didn't toe the line in regards to destroying Iraq , Afghanistan, and any future endeavour by the US.

This should be put into perspective. Accidents do occur. Can anyone honestly say that there life is accident free?
