US Leader crashed trying to pedal,wave, and speak

US leader crashed by trying to 'pedal, wave and speak at same time'
HE MAY be the most powerful man in the world, but proof has emerged that President George Bush cannot ride a bike, wave and speak at the same time. Scotland on Sunday has obtained remarkable details of one of the most memorably bizarre episodes of the Bush presidency: the day he crashed into a Scottish police constable while cycling in the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel

(snip)
The official police incident report states: "(The unit) was requested to cover the road junction on the Auchterarder to Braco Road as the President of the USA, George Bush, was cycling through." The report goes on: "(At) about 1800 hours the President approached the junction at speed on the bicycle. The road was damp at the time. As the President passed the junction at speed he raised his left arm from the handlebars to wave to the police officers present while shouting 'thanks, you guys, for coming'. "As he did this he lost control of the cycle, falling to the ground, causing both himself and his bicycle to strike on the lower legs. fell to the ground, striking his head. The President continued along the ground for approximately five metres, causing himself a number of abrasions. The officers... then assisted both injured parties." The injured officer, who was not named, was whisked to Perth Royal Infirmary. The report adds: "While en-route President Bush phoned , enquiring after his wellbeing and apologising for the accident."

At hospital, a doctor examined the constable and diagnosed damage to his ankle ligaments and issued him with crutches. The cause was officially recorded as: "Hit by moving/falling object." No details of damage to the President are recorded from his close encounter with the policeman and the road, although later reports said he had been "bandaged" by a White House physician after suffering scrapes on his hands and arms. At the time Bush laughed off the incident, saying he should start "acting his age". Details of precisely how the crash unfolded have until now been kept under wraps for fear of embarrassing both Bush and the injured constable. But the new disclosures are certain to raise eyebrows on Washington's Capitol Hill.

Jim McDermott, a Democrat Congressman, last night quipped: "Not only does he break the law over here on eavesdropping and spying on our own citizens, but it seems he can't even keep to your law when it comes to riding a bike. It's another example of how he can't keep his mind on the things he should be thinking about."

whatever it is they are looking at in the moment: a parked car ahead, the median, a person standing by the side of the road.

So I believe our Fearless Leader was *droonk*, he gazed over at the copper for a moment, and the effects of alcohol made him steer toward what he saw.

I could be wrong, of course. He may have only needed a bit more time with the training wheels...

...was it reported before?:shrug:

Bush and his bike, Cheney and his shotgun, unsure which is more likely to take a life...:rofl:

LBJ once said that of someone - seems to fit the present moron.

That is the test.

go look ma no hands and he can't even take one hand off

I guess that there are somethings a monkey can do and that there are somethings that Dubya can do. You can't be any more fair and balanced than that.
