mburbank I missed the story on Kerry's bike tumble. You know how you can tell that's true? 'Cause I didn't post it. Mea Culpa. You'd do a far better job ragging about how the 'liberal nmedia' made enough of a big deal on W's fall that it caught my attention.

I think W's fall is onlt marginally funnier than Kerry's, becuase of the extensive coverage of his boo-boos, followed by te slather of make-up during his speech, something they didn't do after pretzelgate.

I do think though, that Kerry's big Goofy wave "Hey, It's allright, I meant to do that, no seriously, I'm fine" is very funny in it's own right.

I think it's funny when stuffed shirt self important big wigs get caught doing something as human as falling off a bike. It's the one moment when they are down there with the rest of us, and then they are forced to go "Hey, no, I'm fine, wasn't anything" when you know they were thinking "OH, CHRIST, OH SHIT, I'M FALLING OFF MY BIKE HERE, I'M GONNA BREAK MY FACE AND I'M THE PRESIDENT/DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, HEY, HEY, MAKE THIS NOT BE OW! OW! ... Okay I'm still alive."

If Kerry doesn't qualify as a stuffed shirt self important big wig I don't know who does. I just happen to like him better than the other stuffed shirt self important big wig.

I'm a lot of things, Nalds, but not a flake, and nowhere near as partisan as you. I criticize my own party all the time whereas for you it's shere agony to choke out the most minor disagreements with any of your idolatric pantheon, even when they disagree with each other.

As for Drew, he can think whatever he wants to think. Some people find me funny, some don't. The list of people here I think are idiots is very short, and no one is on it because of what they think of me.


I'll tell you what, though. Thanks for doing your parrt to make this insignificant bike spill fall really long. I guess there wasn't anything worth making a post about it for after all.

ziggytrix I hadn't seen either bike-fall story until I visited this forum.

But I don't watch 2 hours of FOX News each evening. *shrug*

Ronnie Raygun The article we are talking about was from USA Today.

sspadowsky Says the guy who gets his news from Newsmax and Fox.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, Julie. Your lack of credibility is already well-established around here. Just because I didn't happen to catch one story out of the hundreds that come up every day means nothing more than "I didn't see it," and it doesn't change the fact that Bush falling on his face was hilarious. The only thing that could have made it better is if there had been a Shiner Bock bottle imprint on his forehead.

Ronnie Raygun "Listen, Frances, I didn't even fucking know it happened until you posted the article." - Spad

O.K. then...I'm your source for current events.

If you were ignorant of the fact Kerry fell off his bike then you need to take your head out of the sand and pay attention to what's happening around you.

Listen, Frances, I didn't even fucking know it happened until you posted the article. And Bush's fall is still funnier.

ziggytrix Well thank you for flogging it to death and wearing any possible shred of humor out of it. ;(
May 25th, 2004 06:53 PM
Ronnie Raygun It doesn't matter if Bush's fall is funnier.

Max said this....

"I PROMISE you, if John Kerry falls off a bike, or slips on a banana peel or leaves his fly undone I will think it's funny. " - Max

and my point was that it had nothing to do with whether or not it was funny.....it's all political because he didn't do the same for Kerry.

But there aren't any funny pictures or injuries. Shutup. Stop Arguing. It's so obvious why Bush's fall is funnier. It has nothing to do with politics.

It didn't occur to me, Jennifer, just the same as it didn't occur to me to make this one.
May 25th, 2004 06:37 PM
AChimp In order to make a thread about it, Ronnie, Max would have to KNOW ABOUT IT.

Has Max posted in here since you mentioned the article? Do you think Max reads every newspaper published everywhere? Hell, the Bush incident was even on the news here in CANADA. Your link is the first time I've even heard of the Kerry fall.

Drew Katsikas This is a redonk argument. Bush getting hurt and goofy photos = funny. Kerry reported to fall of bike, no injuries, no funny pics = not funny.

LIBERAL CONSPIRACY


No, dumbass.
May 25th, 2004 06:22 PM
sspadowsky OK, Alice, I'll indulge you for a moment, and pretend that you really don't know why Bush's fall is inherently funnier than Kerry's:

1) First of all, what I said is true- injury makes it funnier.
2) More importantly, Bush's reputation for being a raging boozer in his younger days brings with it the implication that, as Max stated, he may be back on the sauce. That is funny.
3) Bush is kind of dopey and ineloquent, Kerry is the opposite. You'd expect something like this to happen to a guy who (allegedly) choked on a pretzel.

And, hey, I laughed when Kerry got mowed over on the ski slopes, too, so blow me.
May 25th, 2004 06:17 PM
Drew Katsikas Seriously, though. No hardcore photos. Just Kerry wavin' and smilin'. Whereas with Bush we see blood, and a viciously squinted eye!

Ronnie, your just as much of a partisan flake as Max.
May 25th, 2004 06:06 PM
Ronnie Raygun Good try.
May 25th, 2004 05:47 PM
sspadowsky It's not as funny 'cause he was unhurt. Injury always makes something funnier.

But it's still funny.

Ronnie Raygun "I PROMISE you, if John Kerry falls off a bike, or slips on a banana peel or leaves his fly undone I will think it's funny. " - Max

Obviously not fuuny enough to make a thread over it....

Kerry takes a spill from bike

CONCORD, Mass. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry took a spill from his bicycle after hitting a patch of sand during a ride Sunday afternoon, but he was uninjured, campaign officials said.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry rides his bicycle along a path on the Longfellow Bridge in Boston.

Kerry was riding south on a two-lane road at about 1:00 p.m. in the direction of Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, a quiet, suburban town about 18 miles northwest of Boston.

He was approaching a stop light at the intersection with Route 2 and was slowing down when he veered left into the oncoming lane and fell, according to an Associated Press reporter who witnessed him fall. Secret Service agents and local police immediately stopped traffic while Kerry and a handful of bicycling companions moved to the shoulder.

"He's fine. They took the bike into the bike shop, and he went home," said Kerry campaign adviser Michael Meehan.

The Massachusetts senator was riding his custom Serotta bicycle, and was wearing a helmet.

Kerry had returned to Massachusetts, where he has a home in Boston's posh Beacon Hill section, for a break from the campaign trail.

Kerry, 60, rides his bicycle as often as he can get free time on the campaign trail. He even brings it along with him on the campaign plane.
