Hahahaha.

Somebody needs to be fired for the fact that this is being reported while actual events are occuring in the world.

Yikes...bad enough when a regular Joe does that...it's pretty damn embarrassing let me tell you (Hi, I'm Joe Canadian:))...but when you're the head of state, or someone else famous...

Ouch.

Yes...let's fire the people in the press who don't report what you want to hear. :rolleyes:

Hahahaha.

Oh he still has a way to catch up with Ford. Is there any spot on this planet, the man didn't take a fall? :D

Then there is his dad puking his guts up in Japan. I think the daily show even did a story :D

Yea why does the White House alway report on the condition of the President's health reports?

Yes...let's fire the people in the press who don't report what you want to hear. :rolleyes:
Its not that I dont want to hear about the President emberassing himself, its just that I would rather hear about, lets say, 'MAN KILLS SEVEN IN FISHING ACCIDENT!'.

And yes, comic relief is nice on occasion :P

Oh he is on a bender that the press needs to be muzzled.

Hell... add in the ammount of people Ford beaned on the golf course... that's legendary!

A brownie for you! :D

Don't worry. Someone out there is reporting that. It's your job to not be lazy and to find news sources that supply the information you want to know about. Admittedly, you'll have a bit more effort expended doing so that those who enjoy tales of three headed newborns...but trust me. You can do it!

rofl at that headline.
-----------------------
Billy Bob Jones uses a ten-pound anchor for fishing.

"When I get me a bass, them suckers are strong and usually break my regular-sized hooks. So I figured they couldn't break this here anchor," said Jones, alluding to the blood-stained steel anchor at his feet.

"I never meant to knock nobody in the water and catch old Cletus on the back of the head with it. I wish I could apologize to them but the other six couldn't swim and poor Cletus plum near got his head crunched in by my lure. I feel real bad."

Jones and his friends Bobby Wade Fisher, Johnny Jack "June Bug" Smith, Bubba Tyson, Earl Morley, John MacScrimshaw, Leslie Sevier and Cletus McBride were fishing for smallmouth bass on Lake Pontchartrain Sunday when Jones, allegedly suffering from heat exhaustion, sent out a cast that knocked the other seven men into the lake.

Jones has been charged with seven counts of manslaughter and one count of disturbing an aquatic habitat.

Hahahaha.

You folks should never again berate fox news. Sanctimonious Canadians are doing a much more efficient job of ruining your image with Americans than they ever could. Keep up the good work if that's your goal. But don't whine when you get your wish.

I'm sorry if you can't take a lighthearted post as such.

I'm also very sorry that you can't see the humour in a man falling off his bicycle.

Who killed your sense of humour, might I ask?

And also, Fox news does a fair bit of misinformation spreading regarding your northern neighbour.

Yea why does the White House alway report on the condition of the President's health reports?
So we liberals don't get hopeful and think he died.

Who killed your sense of humour, might I ask?


Sanctimonious Canadians not smart enough to know the ill will they spread today bears a future cost they never could have anticipated, and could easily have avoided.

exactly - look where the same attitude got the US

From CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/06/bush.bike/index.html

President Bush, while at the G8 Summit, crashed into a scotish police officer, who was part of the secruity detail.

My question is can he be stopped? Lol, Our President Making us all look bad, what are your thoughts on this?

I'm pretty sure he did it for the same reason he has for all of his choices: thinking it would be "funny".

I'm pretty sure he did it for the same reason he has for all of his choices: thinking it would be "funny".
Or maybe he thought the officer was reaching for WMD?

For some reason, I couldan't stop laughing upon reading this. Funny thing is, is that it fails to surprise me.

Agreed?

Or maybe he thought the guy had barrels and barrels of oil in his pocket..

Strongly Agreed.

True, I don't think anything he does surprise us anymore, I think it all started with the pretzel, the when he went all crazy like with that scooter thing, when he was refering to a terrorist as Mister Ackmed Bin whatever.... strangly enough he simply can't manage to keep his dignity, its our fault I guess.

I already posted this. I got yelled at and told that it was what's making canadians look bad, not the terrible slant Fox News puts on things that relate to Canada.

oh you already posted it? I didn't see it....

I'm sorry, I'm spreading ill-will because I can laugh at a man in a high position of authority plowing into someone else on a bicycle?

If it had been Paul Martin... well, if it was Paul Martin it wouldn't have made the news at all... but if I heard about it, then I would be laughing at him too.

Lighten up and grow a sense of humour, ok? Geez.

Also, I love how you try to sound all intellectual as you repeat the same insult. Using a big word in the same phrasing repeatedly does not make you appear intelligent. It makes you look like you somewhat understand the word and how to use it and think it makes you sound smart.

Nah, don't worry about it, I made it a couple hours ago and thought it died. Apparantly I just missed it on the second page.

*NEWSFLASH*

George Bush Confirmed Dickhead

Liverbreath']Sanctimonious Canadians not smart enough to know the ill will they spread today bears a future cost they never could have anticipated, and could easily have avoided.

Are you threatening violence against Canadians, sir? Because that would be very much against the rules.

Bush mistakes policeman for pretzel, jumps down bicycle to attack delicious target.

President 'dissapointed'.

Liberals jump on any strands they have to mock national leader; real issues ignored in light of commonplace biking accident.

I would make fun of Clinton if he was still in power.

Presidents are soooo fuuuuun.

Hee heeeee heeeeeeeee.

*drinks more whisky*

Put a sock in it, Liverbreath. I'm getting rather irritated at your constant stream of flamebaitish remarks. It's against the rules of these forums, if you didn't know that.

So conservatives never mocked Clinton?

Nice to see a mod in action lol, hes right this thread is about bush no canada,
How did canada even get involved in this anyway? They seem like unrelated topics to me?

Not really, I am well versed in the issues, But I can see the lighter sides of things and the most powerful person in the world running someone down on his bike just seems funny to me... Oh and don't make it a liberal conservative thing either, I know many conservatives and they have a sense of humour too. Oh and I remember you guys mocking clinton a lot too, my point is you got to see the humour in things...

I started the initial thread and I'm canadian. Since I was laughing at the american president, it must of course, mean that I hate all americans and want them to die horrible horrible deaths, but I hide it behind a veil of jokes about their nation's leader because I'm a self-righteous canadian. And yes, all us canadians hate americans too... right? :rolleyes: apparantly I hate myself...

I'm not a fucking Liberal, you take that back!

It is not just your post. It is the accumulative effect of the very same thing I watched a generation of Americans do some thirty five years ago. The end result will be devastating to those not even responsible.
As for your belief that I am trying to sound like an intellectual, you couldn't be more wrong. Intellectuals are not something I care to emulate as I have an extreme dislike for elitists, especially in academia.
The word I used and repeated, was because it was the proper term for the behaivor I was attempting to describe. I repeated it because you asked me what, "killed" my sense of humor, after I had already stated it. I thought it was self evident, but repeated it only because it was not. It was in no way intended as an insult, but as an accurate discription of the behavior being demonstrated so widely.
Perhaps if I were more intelligent I could express myself in a manner that would leave my words less open to ridicule, however, we play only with the hand we are delt.
I was born and raised to have a geat deal of respect for the people of Canada, their culture and our common good. I find it completely disconcerting to observe a growing trend among Canadians to completely trash the mutual respect built by our parents and grandparents. Once again, if I were more intelligent, maybe I could find the words that would make some of you realize that in the end it will be those that come after us that pay for the hate and discontent being spread so liberally today. Unfortunately, since you have already concluded that I am such a shallow individual, I won't hold out any hope for that.

I was not flamebaiting. I was asked a question and answered it but forgot to add the quote tag. I do apologize if that is how it appeared though.

It's obvious, Mr Bush would have never fallen off that bike if TERRORISTS hadn't sabotaged it before he'd mounted it.







:cool:

Senses of humor are being detained in Guantanamo because an ability to recognize the absurd is deemed a threat to national security under the Bush administration. *Wishes there was an emoticon for deadpan*

The problem is that these accidents are a lot more commonplace with Bush than they are with most people. If I fell from my bike as often as he falls from his, I'd take up swimming. But then again, that's one more case of his contrary nature where any sort of reasonable course of action must be rejected because an openness to reason is 'weak.'

Uh huh...

You are aware that your initial reaction to my first post was really inappropriate with the content of the post itself, right? Calling me self righteous because I am laughing at the mental picture I have of Bush running into somebody on a bike and falling on his ass... somehow the response does not fit.

And I would say that you were beign a bit flamebait-ish, with your threats to Canada in the other post you made.

I'm bush like. Look its not my fault, if the guy didnt want to get hit he should not have been standing there. I didnt even want to where a helmet my mom made me. You see. I am so intelligent that sometimes its hard to do two things at once. Like chewing gum and sitting down. Do you know how hard it is to breath while riding a bike, I dont think you do because your not president. So get off my back you bunch of damn LABERALS!!!!!!!!

Bush mistakes policeman for pretzel, jumps down bicycle to attack delicious target.

Dick wont even let me eat pretzels anymore okay. So just shut up.

Oh he still has a way to catch up with Ford. Is there any spot on this planet, the man didn't take a fall? :D

Then there is his dad puking his guts up in Japan. I think the daily show even did a story :D

This is bushanomics here. I am bush like. I George W. Bush dont like the daily show cause they make fun of me. At least I think its me, it may be the president.

http://www.houseoftheorangemonkey.co.uk/monkey/mobile/bike04.htm

I just can't believe he's managed to fall down again. I mean, I've had my fair share of bike-accidents, but that usually happened dui and not in front of the world watching :D:D:D

No, it's that fact that he is being watched alot more then you ever would be. Any silly mistake he makes gets reported.

You are a tool.

The last time I fell off my bike was when I was 12 and trying to learn to jump curbs. I didn't require medical assistance from that one either.
