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.
