…it’s just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
“President Bush fell off his mountain bike down on his ranch in Texas. A couple weeks ago, John Kerry fell off his bicycle. See, doesn’t this make you miss President Clinton? That guy, he could ride anything without falling off.” —Jay Leno”President Bush fell off his bicycle this weekend and you know what was really sad? It’s a stationary bike.” —Jay Leno
“You know what really makes this embarrassing? The other day the president said the leaders in Iraq are ‘ready to take off the training wheels.’ That’s what he said, ‘take off the training wheels.’ Then he goes out and falls off his bicycle. And they wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t take us seriously.” —Jay Leno
“A White House spokesmen said he fell because it’s been raining a lot and the top soil is loose. We went ahead and looked up the rain for real in Crawford, Texas. May 15th, 0.0 inches of rain. May 16th, 0.0 inches of rain. 17th no rain. 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd no rain. First he chokes on a pretzel; now he fell off his bike. Mr. President, when are you going to admit that Laura is abusing you? There is no shame in being a battered husband.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“President Bush fell off of his bike, wound up with cuts and bruises on his chin, his nose and on his upper lip — or as the secret service call it, Condition Hillary.” —Craig Kilborn
“With Iraq plunging into chaos and gas prices at record highs President Bush took time out this weekend for a ride on his bicycle, but unfortunately he fell off and sustained cuts to his face and hands. Apparently Bush was distracted by the enormous responsibilities of the presidency. I’m just kidding. He hit some gravel or something.” —Craig Kilborn
“Our president fell off of his bike and today declared war on gravity.” —Craig Kilborn
