Bush vs. Bike, Part 2
A day before his 58th birthday, President Bush spent
yesterday riding his mountain bike on the grounds of a
Secret Service training facility in Beltsville, faring
better than he did on his last bicycle outing.
You'll remember: In May, Bush suffered cuts and bruises
after taking a spill when biking at his ranch in Crawford,
Tex. Yesterday, he rode his bike for nearly 1 1/2 hours as
security personnel trailed him in all-terrain vehicles.
As for the latest ride, the press corps couldn't view it
because they were kept in vans on a steamy parking lot as
Bush cycled.

George Bush rides a bike and doesn't fall off. That
counts as news?

I think it's the first time a presidential candidate has
done that so far this year... ;-)
Anyone know if Cheney or Edwards ride at all?

=v= Actually, the _New_York_Post_ said the White House had
no comment on whether he fell. :^) I guess the web of lies
from the last incident didn't work out too well. <_Jym_

Cheney is much too busy making big cash on the Iraq deal
for wasting time riding a bike. Bush has time to ride,
because he is just getting kickbacks from the Cheney group.
These guys are so above any laws. I wish I could sign up to
be one of the good ol' boys in that group. You can do
whatever you want.

Brilliant analysis! Because obviously no one is keeping an
eye out for even the slightest hint of impropriety.

You forgot the ""'s. Hey Cheney can say what he wants to
anyone he wants. He's got the money and power and answers to
no one as we all know.

Glad to see he's doing his bit for the environment.

=v= The _New_York_Post_ is Fox News for its few viewers who
actually know how to read. Any reference to it as a source
of news can *only* be ironic. :^) <_Jym_

Jym, you're confused.
One (Fox) presents both sides of the issue.
The other (NYP) reports on alternate universes... ;-)

"Fox" and "both sides" in the same sentance? That's an
oxymoron if there ever was one. They have to go out of their
way to tell you they're "fair and balanced" because there's
no way you'd figure that out on your own.
Reminds me of the quip about American politics: "one
political party with two right wings."

Whatever... that's the analysis that independent examination
comes up with as well. I know it's hard to get used to any
non-liberal news source, but give it some time and you'll
realize what you've been missing. For many though, the very
thought that news wouldn't be strained through a liberal
filter is anathema.
In fact, about 40% of Fox viewers consider themselves
liberal. You don't capture 55% of the cable news market
because you're doing a bad job presenting the news.

I have yet to find a truly liberal news source in the USA.

None of the mainstream media sources are "extremely
liberal", just "well left of center" in their approach
to the news. Then again, you may be one of those who
think they're all hyper-right (which would only mean Al
Franken and Rush Limbaugh probably look pretty much the
same to you). ;-)

Too bad they couldn't cheer him on. Or at least yell "Get
back to work!"
cheers, Tom

Heh! Left of the /US/ centre maybe - most of them appear to
be well to the right of moderate European opinion ;-)

Heh... that's kind of an oxymoron lately... ;-)
