Commander AWOL had another HEAD CRASH this weekend.

[SpiralHawk]

Check this report out, last paragraph.

This crash - out of how many? -- has to have the citizens of the USA concerned.

Just about every other month, Bush does a total header.

I mean, what's whith that?

Not healthy.

Three major crises face Bush on return to Washington
By Steve Holland
11 minutes ago

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush faced major security challenges on three fronts on Sunday as he prepared to return to Washington after a 10-day working vacation at his ranch.

The fighting in southern Lebanon, concerns about whether there are still suspects at large in the British terror plot and the ongoing war in Iraq represented formidable issues facing the president.

White House officials were under no illusions that a U.N. Security Council resolution reached on Friday night would bring a swift end to the month-old Israeli-Hizbollah conflict, as Israeli forces pushed deeper into Lebanon.

On the British terror plot, two dozen suspects were under arrest, but Bush was concerned that more people involved in the plot remained at large and could represent a threat.

And he is back in his limousine after days of riding ranch trails on his mountain bike, once running over an armadillo and another time crashing while trying to negotiate a steep hill.

-----------------------------

OK, let's get serious here now. How many headers has BUSH
taken since getting into office? IT HAS TO BE NEARLY A DOZEN
, starting back with the pretzel dive.

Anyone keeping count?

God have mercy on the soul of the poor, innocent armadillo...

[ThomWV]

1. Drunken Mountain Biking Results In Injurys

Pretty simple really ....

[libertypirate]

43. Pattern

After these people scare the shit out of us they need the Jones juice faithful to empathize with them.

Every time his ass gets scraped up is right after they terrorize the American people.

When you sympathize with his kind of trash, makes it hard to see him as the enabler of terror...

[Julius Civitatus]

60. He should WEAR A HELMET at all times

[tomreedtoon]

66. To quote Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture:

"If you have a clumsy child, you make him wear a helmet. If you have death-prone children, you keep a couple of clones of them in the lab."

So where are Bush's clones?

Never mind, I know. On Fox News.

[bananarepublican]

80. Helmet as in Hannibal Lecter? n/t

[JohnnyLib]

2. after some point, the amount of brain damage

just doesn't matter anymore. HOWEVER it happens in Texas.

[saltpoint]

3. That poor armadillo. I don't care if Bush got scuffed up, but

the armadillo deserved a better fate.

[jilln]

7. I'm wondering

just how drunk you have to be to run over ANY animal on a bike. Maybe it was a dead armadillo.

[saltpoint]

14. LOL! With all these bike wrecks, you'd think maybe somebody on

the president's staff might suggest he stay the hell off of them.

Gerald Ford was perceived as a bumbling, stumbling fool in SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE sketches, and it contributed in part to the public's perception that they should dump him for Jimmy Carter.

Bush is in danger of becoming the drunk moron who crashes his bike all the time.

[morningglory]

22. I don't believe Ford scuffed his face up. Most people can stumble, ta

take a spill, or bump into something without plowing the dirt with their noses. How many times have you ever scraped your face on the pavement while sober?

[saltpoint]

29. Yep. Dubya better lay off the mountain biking.

[pitohui]

68. ford was pretty much falling down drunk all the time

don't get me wrong, i'd rather gerald ford on his worse day than this, but SNL didn't pull the skits out of their ass, ford was a constant embarrassment because of his falling down and his drinking

[DemonFighterLives]

34. My Dad always said of Ford-"he played too much football without

a helmet"
I know dubya was only a cheerleader, but maybe he fell off the stack without a helmet.
:silly:

[pitohui]

69. he he your dad stole than from lbj

that's one of his classic jokes abt mr. ford!

[DemonFighterLives]

73. OK

Pretty much true- didn't they have leather helmets back in the good old days?
:crazy:

[Hun Joro]

26. If he ran over an animal he did it deliberately.

He probably isn't allowed to blow up frogs any more.

[jilln]

27. I think you're right.

He followed the pattern: young animal abuser turns into dangerous criminal.

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Of course he did. Evil little shit! nt

[Forrest Greene]

33. He Aimed

...at it, I'm sure.

[saltpoint]

40. I'm sad to say I believe that also. Not a very good trait in a president.

[Lisa]

52. or even in a mayor or city councillor

As you say, it's a nasty flaw for someone in authority (especially with as much power as the US President) to have. Apt to lead to all kinds of abuses, of those who are perceived as less important -- say, lower-income citizens in one's own country, or entire nations which are termed "underdeveloped".

[orleans]

77. i believe the moron pronounces it: armadilla n/t

[Botany]

4. A good friend who runs a drug & alochol treatement clinic

... told me in 2001 that the "pretzel story" was b.s. and if any
of the people under his care @ the clinic had said that they had
passed out during the super bowel because of a pretzel he
would run a screen on them ASAP.

Either he has a motor skills/brain problem or he is going on benders.

[hobbit709]

5. You know it takes REAL effort

to run over an armadillo with a bicycle. They move pretty damn fast-what gets them killed on the highway is a reflex. They jump when faced with danger so when a car comes they jump up right into bumper height when if they'd stayed put the vehicle probable wouldn't have touched them.

[Philosoraptor]

6. He's got to get beyond thinking of gravity as a theory, its real.

[JohnnyLib]

9. LOL

I believe you've nailed the problem.

[Philosoraptor]

13. Gravity: "It's the Law"

[NewJeffCT]

23. Maybe he issued a signing statement on the Law of Gravity

Giving himself the right to ignore it if he so chooses. Unfortunately, maybe Mother Nature doesn't roll over quite so easily as the Republican Congress & Judiciary.

[sam sarrha]

49. yea and Jack and crack cocaine have a "high" center of gravity..

that is why he tips over so much

[WinkyDink]

79. Hee: "Jack and crack". Gotsta love it!

[bleedingheart]

8. once again proving that he does not pay attention to his surroundings

what a freaking moron...to run over an armadillo...that is really obtuse...poor little armadillo..

[buff2]

10. Nothing surprises me out of that idiot

He is a disaster in every sense of the word. An accident waiting to happen. Too bad he always comes out alright in all those falls. This country would be a lot safer if he was laid up for the next two years.And they thought Ford was such a klutz. LOL

[sam sarrha]

11. laura caught him with jeff gannon again and beat the crap outa him

[Twillig]

30. Gotta be Pickles.

she swings a mean frying pan.

Nobody can 'fall off their bike' like that.

[sam sarrha]

47. hell i raced on a Bianche team issue for 3 years and only fell 3 times, i

trained 1000 miles month.. for years, did 10 day tours thru 2 states and over the high
sierra's.. from central california to yosemite on dirt fire roads, t then over Tioga pass to nevada up to reno and then over to sacramento to modesto and i did sierra pass.. all over the CA coastal mountains, hwy9 and 101 up the coast and down the coast.

he is a mental case..and the medication isn't working, we are all doomed

[Cha]

12. Poor armadillo, getting run over

by a toothless homo sapien trying to ride his bike.

[Mabus]

44. How do you run over an armadillo on a bike?

I can see accidentally running over one in a car but on a bike? Jumping Josephat how do you run over an armadillo on a bike? It just doesn't make any sense. I mean this site http://www.motohawk.com/archived.htm talks about hitting an armadillo on bike as opposed to running over it. WTF? How did he run over one? :shrug:

[sam sarrha]

48. why'd the armadillo cross the road, no one knows, none have ever made it

[Mabus]

64. on the bright side

they do make wonderful country landmarks, as in: "Turn left on 1500 Rd. North. Our driveway is 1/2 a mile up the road on the right. You'll know you're coming to it after the second dead armadillo. If you see a deer on the left side of the road you'll know you've gone too far."

[Cha]

50. Maybe he had one too many

ceverzas last night and couldn't quite see what was in front of him..maybe he had a nip of the dog that bit him and was determined not to veer from the path of the armadillo.

And I'm not talking about "near cerversas", either!

[Mabus]

63. or he was wearing a beer helmet as he rode

and never stopped drinking his ceverzas. IIRC, the usual beer helmet allows him to carry two. I suppose that means the SS is carrying his refills.

[Kurovski]

61. "How do you run over an armadillo on a bike?"

You aim for it.

[Mabus]

62. Good answer

and probably the closest to the truth.

In my mind, I see him trying to use it as a ramp.

[Kurovski]

75. Our own little Evil Knievel.

[me b zola]

65. It was already road kill...

...the sick bastard thought it would be cool to run over a dead animal.

My second guess is that Condi was pissed off when they did the leather thing...:spank:

[Mabus]

71. I believe it is called wallowing

My dogs do it all the time. They think the worse they smell the more attractive they are. I wouldn't doubt that Bush needs to prove his manhood.

As for your second guess, I didn't need to read that before I go to bed. :spank:

Eww, for some reason Bill Bennett and his alleged meetings with a dominatrix popped into my head. :puke: Oh well, I guess I don't need to sleep that badly. ;)

[me b zola]

76. My dogs do the wallowing thing...

...but somehow I have so much more respect for them when they do it. My dogs do it instinctually to mask their scent in the wild, both for protection and for hunting purposes. The idiot from Crawford does it to mask the smell of his own shit that he has been creating.


Damn, wish I could come up with the photo of Condi in her Dominatrix leather that she wore, IIRC, in Germany. Turn a nightmere into a happy dream, sleep better with the though of Condi flogging the shit out of the chimp. :D

[rzemanfl]

15. Nixon was a crooked, evil bastard, Ford was clumsy, * combines

those traits.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Seems like * hurts himself whenever he's relaxin'

Hmmmmm....relaxin' = drinking ???

[Warpy]

17. Ataxia is poor skeletal muscle coordination

and one of tbe hallmarks of Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome, a progressive neurological deterioration faced by alcoholics whose livers don't fry first.

It's worth looking up, it explains a lot about the boy king.

The physical incoordination can be reversed if the person stops drinking. However, given his performance at the G-8, we know that is not the case.

The cognitive deficits like poor memory are forever.

He's a sick man. He needs to go.

[vickitulsa]

32. Alert observations.

Unlike our crasher-in-chief, you can see what's right before our eyes.

Not only is he a sick man -- he's making all of US even sicker! I have no sympathy for him (not saying you do), since he's wrecking MY health as well! :puke:

With what I know, he does seem to have suffered some irreparable brain damage or other body/mind impairments from his history of drug use (including alcohol). I've noticed that within his own family, he seems to be way more accident prone than the rest of them. Due to an altered mind perhaps?

Scary thoughts, but then this fraud has been scaring me for so long I'm almost numb. Wonder if that's happening to others ... wonder if perhaps THAT isn't part of why we find it so hard to react to scary terrorist plots and threats anymore?.... :shrug: :think:


EDIT to add: Thanks for giving this its own thread! :)

[bigtree]

18. Bush is completely disregarding the Armadillos' right to free movement

with their own territory.

A letter has been sent to the proper authorities.

[SpiralHawk]

51. "Bush sucks" - Armadillo Liberation Front

"Bring him on." - Dilloes against Dildoe-Brained Humanoids

[guinivere]

58. lol

Okay, I just poked around on the internets re the armadillo. There's no way he could have hit/run over the thing in broad daylight.

Way easier to blame a critter for your drunken bike rides.

[countingbluecars]

19. He was probably aiming for

the armadillo. Heh, heh, heh, armadillo, bring it on.

[xchrom]

20. how the fuck do you run over an armadillo on your bike?

as for him falling down? -- drinking again.

[chat_noir]

21. armadillo'd and dangerous

Trojan armadillo?




patriotic armadillo




Lone Star armadillo

[shain from kane]

25. Bush at war with Tarkus. n/t

[shain from kane]

24. Road kill. Cheney shoots quail with his Italian shotgun. They won't

let drunken Bush have a shotgun, so in a fit, he goes out and kills an amardillo with his bike.

[go west young man]

28. It was probably an Al Qaeda undercover Armadillo.

From now on all armadillo's will have to be banned from carry on luggage.

[Lady Effingbroke]

31. My 4 year old niece rides a bike better than * - without training wheels!

[vogonity]

35. Texans, help me out with an armadillo question.

How common are armadillos? Has anyone here ever run one over while riding a bike? I can say that while riding a bike in any of the Northern states I have lived in, I have *never* come close to running over *any* wild animal. Not ever.

[hunter]

37. Maybe you have to tie them up first...

Sorta like Cheney's "hunting."

[Lady Effingbroke]

39. I have lived in TX for 30 years and have *never* run over any wild animal

either while riding a bike or driving a car.

Armadillos are still fairly common here, even in the big city (Houston).

[displacedtexan]

41. I hit an armadillo while driving my MGB on a back road...

late at night.

$650 worth of damage to car's grill & undercarriage.

The armadillo walked away.

[pitohui]

70. they are extremely common

everybody's hit one w. their car if they commute at dawn

however to hit one w. your bike in the day time, you don't even see them in the daytime, much less hit 'em w. a bike


i'm guessing the poster who said * ran over an armadillo that was already road kill -- that's the right answer

[pooja]

72. they are normal road kill in florida.

[Jacobin]

38. He needs a tricycle until he stops drinking

[Gregorian]

42. Hitting an armadillo is testament to his blindness.

I mountain bike at least every other day. Twenty miles, minimum. And I have never hit anything. I even avoid butterflies. I jump snakes. OK, one time I hit a blue belly lizard. And I stopped and felt really sad for him.

Bush is retarded. Just like the rest of the conservatives. Blind idiots. Prove me wrong.

[MrBenchley]

45. Drunk

And a mean-spirited drunk at that.

[mcscajun]

46. "He's a klutz, Mrs. Landingham. Your President’s a geek."

Too bad This pResident isn't fictional.

:sigh:

[Lisa]

55. in a way, he IS fictional ...

The onscreen Dubya is a product of Karl Rove's crew -- the speechwriters like Michael Gerson and David Frum -- and the Hollywood set designers. They costume him and make him up, to look like some big rugged outdoorsy hero. Anytime we see Bush on the news, they have gone to great effort and expense to primp (or even "pimp") him for the cameras. Too bad for them that their guy isn't as good an actor as Reagan, and so there are a lot of times when he can't or won't follow their careful instructions. It's kind of like meeting one's cinema idol, a cowboy movie star say, and learning that he loathes horses, hates the role he's playing, and is a mean-spirited lush who doesn't do his own singing or stunts!

(By the way, I've spoken with several people who've met Martin Sheen ... all the way back to when he came to Canada to do that "Dead Zone" movie ... and all of them remarked on how pleasant and professional he was.)



"Media strategists noted afterward that Mr. Sforza and his aides had choreographed every aspect of the event, even down to the members of the Lincoln crew arrayed in coordinated shirt colors over Mr. Bush's right shoulder and the "Mission Accomplished" banner placed to perfectly capture the president and the celebratory two words in a single shot. The speech was specifically timed for what image makers call "magic hour light," which cast a golden glow on Mr. Bush."

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/05/16/nyt.bumiller/

[Cleita]

53. That looks like someone hit him with something flat like

a shovel. Is Laura back from Alaska?

[AzDar]

54. I have never, NEVER heard of anyone running over an animal with

a bike. They have to be making this shit up!

[Cleita]

56. Of course they are making this up.

Armadilloes are know as Texas road bumps because they are slow but they tend to come out at night making them hard to see. However, in broad daylight they are very easy to see and on a slower vehicle like a bicycle very easy to see in time to avoid hitting them.

He was drunk and tripped and fell, or fell off of something with wheels, or someone hit him.

[Lisa]

57. plus, isn't Bush supposed to have ultra-sharp reflexes?

Former jet pilot, in tip-top physical shape, and all that? A 30-something woman I know was cycling along when she saw a groundhog lying in the middle of the path, and even though she wasn't expecting it, she was able to stop in time!

[Hubert Flottz]

59. I'll bet he "cuts brush" with a rubber chain saw...

pResident clears brush at his Texas White House/Bar-B-Q store!

[pitohui]

67. i blame the drugs

but if you wanted to blame the outlandish drinking instead i could prob. accept that answer

[Rainscents]

74. What is wrong with him? Is he blind?

[orleans]

78. i wish there was a picture to add to the fuck-up's photo gallery of shame

n/t

[SpiralHawk]

81. Why, why, why? do the corporate media propagandists bury the news

about Commander AWOL's repeated repeated repeated repeated repeated HEADERS?

Is there something they don't want us to know about Bush and his Head Crashes?

[Cha]

82. bush used to blow up frogs

as a little bush, too. Maybe the corporate media doesn't want too much getting out about his mistreatment of animals.. people could start putting two and two together and getting high disregard for human life, too!
