on Bush and his crashes
Subject: on Bush and his crashes
From: (Kurt Tappe) Date: 8/1/2004 2:28 PM US Eastern Standard Time Message-id: I'm no Bush fan, but at least he's riding. And for off-road riding, if you don't crash every now and then you're not riding hard enough. :-) -Kurt Yeah.."a 3 inch cut above his knee" WOW, alert the media Kerry's calves look OK, his quads are plain puny |

Ron I think that's a bit of optical distortion, from a wide-angle lens aimed slightly downwards. Makes the bike look too small. Here's a shot from a different angle, longer lens: The fisheye's one thing, but isn't why his calf is smaller than the water bottle - it's closer to the camera.. http://tinyurl.com/44bq3 Better shot, but doesn't change much, still looks like a doofus and still has no legs. At least he's got enough tan to avoid the "flourescent tubes with hair" look. Given that Kerry is, ohhh, 60 years old and not doing Master's races, I would say his legs are fine. But dude's gotta shave his legs. That's just not a proper roadie look. I've got Fabrizio's back, -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.wiredcola.com Verus de parvis; verus de magnis. |

That's the basic stuff. Now, where you get from that to "asserting virility" and "burning his riding mates off the peloton all the time" I don't know. If you wanted to make a case for a President displaying virility, there were shots of Ronnie chopping wood back in the 1980's. Obviously staged, but the guy was doing the work, you know? You also have to realize that Bush and Reagan lived and associated themselves with US states that are a bit more rugged and outdoorsy then others. MTB beginners get banged up a lot at first. This reminds me of the letter writer who wrote to the editor that because John Kerry didn't throw a perfect strike at that baseball game, that meant he "couldn't be trusted to complete anything." He threw that ball like a Girl Scout...a weak armed Girl Scout at that. --Don-- The beatings will continue until morale improves. |

Interesting point you make, though. Kerry was probably in a sh*tty frame of mind in general during that trip to the snow. Is he then in the habit of blaming others when he's feeling down? Let's just hope that the Secret Service skier really _did_ klutz it up and ran into Kerry. Question is then, if one were offered a guest bike ride with either Bush or Kerry, what would be the better ride, given equally good scenery? /Robert |
