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?
Then tell Kerry to stop embarrassing you people.........
Will he put himself in for another Purple Heart for this?
Is he trying to make Hillary look like a good SOS by comparison?
I do when he's in France on "company" business...........
Back in 2007 my old company had a corporate safety manager who was in Colorado on company business and made the mistake of using his company credit card for a day of skiing when he should have been working.........he was fired.
;-)
THAT is a girl’s bike. But that is not what he was riding when he crashed. He normally rides a rather well appointed [men’s] road bike.
Syndrome.
I think we marginalize ourselves when we laugh at these misfortunes.
“I’m John Kerry and I am standing in doody.”
So what happened???Got his friggin’ chin caught in his front wheel?
Big risk of throwing an embolus and ending up with infarct.
Sigh. Oh well.
Ran over his ego.
Apparently, he was riding at a slow speed on a flat section, and just wasn’t paying attention.
He s hould have received a ticket for inattentive biking.
Look, Ma, no brains! Oooops.
I’ll be 73 next month. I suffer from spinal stenosis and peripherral neuropathy and get along with either a cane or a walker. I still manage to spend over an hour a day in my community gym working out on cardio and weight machines.
When I was a kid, we rode our bikes wearing cutoff jeans, a tee shirt and Keds on our feet...We’d jump off our bikes and go swimming in the river.
Today they wear this spandex, these weird looking helmets, tight little shirts with stuff written all over them, biking shoes that somehow attach to the pedals, gloves with no fingers..
They look like they just came out of some freak show...(IMO)
Those outfits probably cost close to a thousand bucks all totaled...Just to go riding down the street...
Kinda stupid IMO...
What was that movie - They Shoot Horsefaces, Don’t They?
They’re just worried it will aggravate his old war wound...
Acme has been making them since WWII.
I guess we better warn W to wind down this bike thing pretty quick.
