i suppose he’ll want a Purple Heart for this too.
How Embarrassing
a horse rode a bicycle into a bar
The bartender asked “why the lurch face”
Two more of these, and he can leave the war zone.
... Paramedics and a physician were on the scene with his motorcade at the time....
I wonder how much taxpayers pay for his motorcade. Secret Service, medical team, etc. so Lurch can ride his bike.
But, but...I thought he never fell.
Oh...right, that is only windsurfing or some other gigolo sport.
Plus he was airlifted.
Cha ching.
The EXEMPT get super medical care.
The nonEXEMPT? DEATHCARE, only.
The nature of the accident and Kerry’s age mean that there is a risk that he suffered a concussion or may generate a blood clot due to soft tissue injury. The lummox ought to have more sense than to go bike riding like a twelve year old.
Where is that picture of kerry in his exotic insect suit and silly grin on a bicycle?
Hillary's scandels? Not so much.
John Kerry is a Senior Citizen. Why is he bike riding in a foreign country at his age? There are less demanding activities he should be looking at for exercise.
He cycled by a wedding and got some rice in his butt.
Airlift!!!
Should have left the training wheels on.
He doesn’t have Secret Service. Each department has executive protection functions.
In any event the cost is not inconsequential.
