Lance Armstrong, He Ain't

For some of us, it's like falling off a bike.

For our President, it seems to be a recurring theme.

President Bush took another tumble this week, mountain biking on his rather mountainless Texas ranch.

An Associated Press reporter was along for the ride.

Pedalling to his back-forty, through brush and along cow paths, the President's bike came to a sudden stop.  The President didn't.

According to the intrepid reporter, President Bush sailed over his handlebars, landed flat on his back, and lay there motionless. 

The reporter helped him up, and despite a cut on his knee, Mr. Bush insisted on finishing his ride.  He told the reporter mountain biking has a "mind-clearing" effect.

As the President mounted his $3,100 mountain bike, the reporter asked him if he knew John Kerry had an $8,000 mountain bike.

The President only replied, "Who?"

'Mind-clearing?'  Mr. President, it's called 'amnesia.'
