1. Was he wearing a helmet?
Or was his hair sufficient?

3. A mountain bike is not a motorcycle??
The link's article says 'mountain bike', that does not have a motor does it?

4. Good ..........
I hope he's in a whole fuckload of pain, and that it lasts for a good long time.

And I am not in the least ashamed of hoping that for Goodhair.

Bet his health insurance took care of everything, all real nice and like that.

Prick............

10. I guess he took riding lessons from Dumbya. Let's recommend he get a Segway.
And then something that is faster. His hair will probably protect his thick skull.

7. Shrub educated the nation that the TX governorship was such an empty vessel

that *anybody* could fill the space. Now he'll channel John CONNELLY and wear the cast/bandages for months afterwards (as CONNELLY wore his after the JFK assassination).

9. Glad he'll be okay
Broken collarbones are no fun. Good thing he won't be turned down for coverage by his insurance company, or that his employer won't fire him for getting injured. Hope he has a full recovery.

11. I am so sad, not.
His head bounced off the ground.

He couldn't find a helmet to fit.

12. Is this a required attribute of Texas Governors?
We all know about the last governor's tumbles:



Yeah, I know it's a Segway but same problem, different machine.

14. Collarbone breaks are the most common injury for people who fall off of bikes.

15. It's unfortunate that the collarbone fragments behaved themselves.
They could have stabbed him in the throat or something.

16. Maybe he should borrow Georgie's training wheels?
I swear, these days he is even starting to LOOK like bush. Might as well act like him too.

17. It's considered an accident when
Goodhair is struck by an idea.

Texas has everything. Including a huge oversupply of a-holes, especially in government.

24. No doubt
He tried to break his fall by sticking his arms out.

Oh well. No big thang. I've broken my left collar bone twice and my right one once. Unlike governor Goodhair, I had to continue waiting tables with my broken collar bone. So, if he whines, he'll get no sympathy from me.
