CYCLES OF VIOLENCE

What is it with Democrats and bicycles?

[Bill Clinton] was so clumsy he broke his leg trying to jump a skipping rope wearing cowboy boots, and only managed to overcome his fears of riding a bicycle without stabilisers while at Oxford University.

Wasn't there a story recently about some republican president falling off his bike?

Dear Mr. Clinton - riding a bike is like riding an intern. Once you learn how you never forget!

Umm, what is a "stabiliser"? Is it someone who cavorts with horses, or do they mean training wheels?

And will Monsieur l'Amster again offer half-witty, pithy commentary, as he did when it was a Tex-ass Tumble?

Eh? I hate when trolls pop in, don't get that this thread is referring to an older one, and then make themselves look stupid.

No, wait, I love that.

why, that's my prayer for children everywhere.

I'm guessing that ``stabilisers'' are the Brit name for training wheels. And jumping rope in cowboy boots? - I can see twisting an ankle doing a dumb stunt like that, but breaking a leg...well, this is Billy Jeff talking, so I wonder if it ever happened at all.

Observer - laughed aloud my friend. Hee hee.

So, Dubya, Clinton, and Kerry have recently fallen off bicycles. And people are worried about Cheney's health?

Posted by: Alan K. Henderson at June 22, 2004 at 02:58 PM

Oops, threw in Clinton's name by mistake.

I bet Cheney knows better than to wear cowboy boots while engaging in athletic activities.

Comparing Clinton and Bush Jr. is a bit like comparing two generic brands of cola - though at least the former could digest the occasional book.
And a pretzel.

Hey, Pottinger, try some new slams. Those have mold on them.
