Schwarzenegger Hurt in Motorcycle Mishap

LOS ANGELES - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger received 15 stitches in his lip Sunday after he and his 12-year-old son were involved in a motorcycle accident near their Los Angeles home, his spokeswoman said.

Schwarzenegger was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle with his son Patrick in the sidecar when another driver backed into the street, spokeswoman Margita Thompson said in a statement.

"The governor was unable to avoid the vehicle in his path and collided with it at a low speed," she said.

Both Schwarzenegger and his son were treated for cuts and bruises at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and released, Thompson said. Both were wearing helmets at the time, she said.

1. It wasn't me

I am right here at home, yes indeed... :yoiks:

[Straight Shooter]

2. Fat lip to match his fat ego.

I'm glad he and his son were not seriously injured.

[Wilms]

3. I never realized a metaphor could be so dangerous.

Hope they had helmets on.

[EST]

4. Wow! A mouth injury!

The most devastating thing possible for a chickenshit girly-man.
(Sorry--had to empty my exasperation bucket for the day)

5. Hey maybe he can learn english during his recovery

Or at the least keep his damn mouth shut

[Nikki Stone 1]

6. Ouch!! LOL!!!

Seriously, glad they weren't hurt too badly. Wonder how many times Maria tried to tell him NOT to put the kid in the sidecar.:crazy:

7. Poor baby!

:nopity: :beer: :bounce: :rofl:

23. Now it will be harder to say Cal -e - four-ne-a

Please get well quick Arnold.

We really need you to keep slashing the budget.

PS/ Is he the only GOV. that does not know how to pronounce the name of the State he represents?

[BrklynLiberal]

8. Hope they stitch his mouth shut

9. Don't take pleasure in it

Yeah, he's a dick, no question about it, but at the same time, the son of a good democrat (though her credentials as of late are in serious question) was in a motorcycle wreck. Try not to be so...you know.

[senseandsensibility]

11. I don't think the OP said anything

that seemed gleeful. It was a simple snip from the article, and very factual, I thought.:shrug:

[Catch22Dem]

13. Oh, no, I didn't mean the OP or anyone else in particular

I just meant all of us...collectively. myself included. Sorry for the confusion.

[senseandsensibility]

17. Thanks for the clarifiation

I'm glad no one was seriously injured.

10. What a girlie-man. n/t

[Sticky]

12. Hmmmmm....

Hope the nurses weren't too hard on him - he hasn't exactly been in their corner.

[senseandsensibility]

15. Good one

but I know that the nurses will always be professional, even to Arnold..

[graywarrior]

14. Another excuse for more plastic inserts

16. What's a twelve year old doing on a motorcycle???

Outrageous. Motercycles are, I think, no place for a twelve year old. My dad was hurt bad on a motorcycle when he was about my age (I'm twenty-three). He now has fake teeth (you can't tell) and has problems with his knee.

[Cleita]

21. It shows how much concern Arnold really has for children.

If he endangers his own, I have to believe that all those promises he made to take care of the children in his SOTS speech were nothing more than hot air.

22. The kid was in a sidecar and

not driving his own motorcycle. I had a motorcycle at 14 yrs. (off road) and had plenty of bang ups. Probably went over the handlebars at least 3 times. One of them was when a dog ran out to chase me but misjudged and ran in front of me. I was doing about 35-40 mph and hit him square. I would give real money to have a video of this. I went over the handlebars and landed flat on my back in some very wet ground. Thankfully I was OK and so was the dog. He never engaged me again.

18. I see he takes after his president.

:)

[Initech]

19. Ahnuld is the girly man now!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

20. Think it'll make him talk funny?

:rofl:


(hope the kid's ok)

27. As Schwarzenegger found out...Kali-forn-ia. .....warning many arnold jokes

"As Schwarzenegger found out,
the trouble with getting voted in as a joke,
sooner or later, the joke gets old." --"Daily Show" commentator Lewis Black


"Arnold Schwarzenegger's approval rating is down to 30%.
After he heard this, Arnold said 'I'm not going to act all upset and hurt
because I don't have that kind of range.'" --Conan O'Brien

"Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced this week that after he got elected,
he took a voluntary course on sexual harassment.
Arnold says the sexual harassment course was a waste of time because quote
'I already know how to do it.'" —Conan O'Brien

"Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced he will refuse his $175,000 salary
and will work for free.
I believe he will be worth every penny." —Craig Kilborn

"Bush joked last week during his meeting with Schwarzenegger
that they are both sometimes accused of misspeaking the language.
Mr. President, he's from a foreign country." —Jon Stewart

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he is going to ask President Bush
for help with the budget. What better way to deal with a $38 billion deficit
than get advice from a guy that created a $450 billion deficit." —Jay Leno

[DBoon]

24. Why didn't he just turn into liquid metal

and swirl around the offending vehicle unharmed?

[mitchum]

25. That's too bad

[Oldtimeralso]

26. Can We...
