I will tell you why he comes across being a dork - it is becase he is a dork. He wears "gear" to do everthing. If he just wore old worn out clothing to go biking or windsurfing, or whatever, he would come across as ok, but he wears stuff that no normal person would be caught dead in unless you were riding in the tour de france and getting paid a zillion in endorsements. Funny how GW goes jogging in old shorts and a t-shirt just like regular folks. I mean loose cotton clothing is comfortable and all you are going to do is sweat in it. There are very few people in this world I want to see in Spandex, and they are all about 18-22 and female.
Yep, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig
