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...
No rain yet. It's two days late. Our over-paid meteorologists fail again and I have 3/4 acre of lawn food to water in with one lousy sprinkler if it doesn't rain. Damn rain dance last night nearly got me arrested.
It just strikes me as very "unprofessional".
Not presidential. I would never have heard
such things from GWB. It's almost a High
School Level. No it is High School Sophomoric.
In FACT Kerry is the definition of Sophomoric,
according to Merriam-Webster.
As if there is a debate, on how they will treat the comment!
So Kennedy is allowed to that, but you aren't? LOL!
That would make a GREAT them/us political cartoon. One side shows Kerry flat on his face in the snow yelling "You clumsy ^&%#@(*" at the SS guy. The other shows Bush flat on his face on the trail asking your question.
LOL! Or, "Some guys have gotten Purple Hearts for less."
Well, it's easier for him because scum floats.
I love that response!!!
Kerry in total dork mode there. He looks ridiculous. Good grief...
Imagine if President Bush had made some comment about Kerry falling from his bicycle to the effect that the footmen carrying his sedan chair must have tripped and caused him to drop his bejeweled snuff box and put his powdered wig askew?
Au contraire. Bush should apply for a purple heart ASAP!
That is really sick! You should NEVER use the words horny and Helen in the same paragraph, let alone in the same sentence.
It is funny, BUT if GWB made such a crack the press would report it as if Bush fell and made a gratuitous Kerry slam out of it and they would continue ignoring the jerky Kerry's training wheels snipe therefore portraying Bush as the petty one and Kerry the victim.
Sad but true.
You're right. It was not "in the mountains". But it was off-road and it was hilly.
'k?
It was Kerry's chance to be compassionate...a human being. Buf of course it's hard to be something you're not.
The same dumb joke could have been (and probably was) used when Kerry crashed his bike. Much ado about very little.
The difference is who makes the crack. You would not hear Bush saying that to reporters upon hearing about a Kerry mishap, nor would you hear the press then chortle along *at* the target of their mirth (as I am confident happened here. Look at that idiot Bush, they all laughed knowingly together).
See?
For one who is running for president to make such a "joke" is childish, petty, snotty and graceless.
-PJ
maybe he "should" blame it on the SS agent - then wink and joke...
