Hitting the trail with nation's cyclist in chief
Even the leader of the free world needs to get away sometimes. But how? At about 25 mph with almost a dozen companions.

CRAWFORD, Texas - Standing on the driveway outside his home, President Bush explains the rules for people who go mountain biking with him.

It will be a vigorous workout. It is not a race. And no one, the president says with a smile, is allowed to pass him.

"This is a chance," he says, "for me to show you a little slice of heaven."

The president's clothes show his favorite sport can be dangerous. His mountain biking shorts have holes on the front from last month's high-speed wipeout on a slick road in Scotland.

2. "last month's high-speed wipeout on a slick road in Scotland."

OHH!! Now he thinks he's Lance Armstrong?????

5. Conveniently not mentioning the police officer he crashed into,

who could have been seriously hurt.

3. Don't you just love this?

"And no one, the president says with a smile, is allowed to pass him."

What a f'ing lunatic. How can ANYONE on the planet not know that this man is absolutely psychotic? Those who support him are either crazy or plain d@mn ignorant!

4. "No one is allowed to pass him"

He is one sick puppy. Brings to mind the photo of him busting ahead of Clinton at the door during the opening of the Clinton Library.

6. I find it disturbing that that statement is immediately followed by

this statement:

"This is a chance," he says, "for me to show you a little slice of heaven."

Someone didn't edit their sycophantic gushing very well.

7. Took me a minute.

10. Just my twisted mind, I guess!

My eyebrows went up and my brain went "Whaaa?" on my very first read-through of the OP. It took me a minute to realize that he was referring to the pig farm as a "slice of heaven".

It may also be because I am very familiar with the geography of that part of Texas and in no way would I call it a slice of heaven. Not ugly, exactly, just quite unremarkable. I guess the only way you would think it was a slice of heaven is if you had an obsessive brush-clearing fetish.
