Scottish Paper Gets Report on Bush Bicycle Crash That Injured Constable (Media Barf Alert!)

John Scott, a human rights lawyer, said: "There's certainly enough in this account for a charge of careless driving. Anyone else would have been warned for dangerous driving."

Give me a break!

Anytime I see the phrase human rights lawyer I think to myself, yep I'm seeing the southern end of a nortbound Jackass.

[mhx]

They call a human rights lawyer for a traffic accident?

What do you expect from Scotland? A leftist-filled place, and due to the Auld Alliance, quite a bit more French than John F. Kerry.

As a former mountain biker you will never find me criticizing anything President Bush does on a mountain bike.

As the saying goes, "go hard or go home"

If you ride mountain bike and never crash you are not riding your bike you are cruising.

A skid mark on life's knickers.

This just in: Scotland cracking down on children not using training wheels.

Impeach him! /s

Gee, maybe we should put them on to this case...

Injured Hillary Cop Silenced?

[Bahbah]

But the new disclosures are certain to raise eyebrows on Washington's Capitol Hill....

Oh, please, you fools, do try to make something out of this, I'm begging you. What shall we call it...bikegate?

The constable probably had his foot in the way.

During my first visit to Scotland, I ran over the edge of a curb while turning into a hotel lot. You have to give me a break, they drive on the wrong side of the road and the road is half is wide as it should be. A constable followed me and pulled me over. The dumb a$$ stuck his head in the window to smell if I had been drinking. If I had been a bad guy in America, I would have rolled the window up and drove off dragging the dolt.

So, as I read the article, the President of the United States did something he didn't have to do, just to be friendly (i.e. he raised his hand to greet the policemen protecting his route). In order to do something friendly, he had to let go of one of his handlebars, and in doing so he lost control of the bicycle. And now the Scottish media and human rights lawyers are saying he was driving carelessly.

So noted. We'll be sure never to go out of our way to do anything friendly again.

Asshats.

I no longer use Scottish paper. Gave me a rash...

Next thing you know,they'll press charges and issue a warrant for his arrest.Would this come under the jurisdiction of the World Court?sarc intended

Hillary Clinton's driver ran down an officer at an airport one time and didn't even stop.

The media is desperate.

[shelterguy]

This is exactly why we need to keep Senator Spector around. With his knowledge of Scottish law, W should be able to beat this rap.

[Peach]

I really thought this was Scrappleface at first. It's worth a quick laugh.

And, I'd love to know, did this paper decide it was important to write an article about the damage that Clinton did to Juanita Broadrick? Or Kathleen Willey?

[pollyannaish]

Oh my goodness.

Yep, two reckless out of control guys who keep secrets and want to sell the farm.

Keep yelling! Maybe someday we'll actually believe you. (Insert eyeroll here.)

"I have had clients who have been charged with assaulting a police officer for less than this.

Lying bastard. His clients meant to harm a policeman. His clients probably threw the first punch and his clients routinely complain of police brutality after regretting having thrown the first punch.
