Lurch Breaks Femur in Photo-Op
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | June 1, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 06/01/2015 11:51:04 AM PDT by Kaslin

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?

I don’t have to worry about curbs, cars or other hazards of the road...

Just rattlesnakes, rocks and the like...a lot less hazardous.

And I’ll ride for as long as I can, Lord willing to 71 and beyond.

FWIW, I'm looking at the big 70 real soon, and can ride a bike just fine.

It doesn’t look good when you’re out pursuing your personal hobbies while on an important diplomatic mission, however quixotic.

Well, the golfer in chief has set the standard. Lurch is just following his example.

I do admire that 92 year old woman who recently finished that marathon in San Diego

I was never able to run, but I could walk quite fast when I was younger. Now I can't even walk a hundred yard or less

You’re lucky. I have a generative disc disease, plus lost the strength in my right leg and foot

He was injured doing something that he enjoys doing. I like Rush but this was a dumb comment on his part. OK you don’t like Kerry, we get it, but don’t make yourself look like a jackass trying to insult the guy.

I think it’s great that people excercise, at any age. when I pay people to engage in high level national security meetings I’d prefer they focus on the meetings and excerise when they conclude the meetings, perhaps when they return home in this case. He’s not a normal business man going out for a run before/after a meeting, he must have all kinds of security in a foreign country, it costs alot when he could go down to the treadmill in the hotel and get on his bike in Nantucket.

Kerry is a girlie man sissy. He did this same stuff when he ran for President. Fake Duck hunting. Taking reporters into store to buy a jock strap? He is not fat or obese. $billions can do that for you. Athletic he is NOT!

The administration is seriously in need of adult supervision.

Bravo. Me too and I’m 71. I’ve just taken up real ocean surfing...Not getting out past the breakers very often but I’ll get it there as I get better. Only been at it for two months.

Any actual photos or video of Kerry's crash, other than this?

If it had been George Bush or Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, the videos would have been shown forwards, backwards, and in slo-mo on news specials for a week.

Yup.

“And if it’s complete or compound there is a big risk of infection.”

Indeed, infection, blood clot and perhaps death within a couple weeks.

I call that “Hope”.
