1. I've never ever ever in the history of my life ever ever seen a cyclist

lay his helmet on the ground like that.

Did I mention ever?

[Oddball]

10. helmet, it's a damn shame...

...his head wasn't in it.

[Cabcere]

28. Yeah...

might've knocked some sense into him. :silly:

(:hi: Hi, Agent Mike!)

[liberal N proud]

2. Get the band-aids ready

[Frustratedlady]

3. He's gettin' a little pouch above the belt, it appears.

He looks old in those photos. His outfit sure doesn't do him any favors.

[Oddball]

11. that's called a "dickie do"

The belly sticks out more than the...well, you know.

[William769]

4. Will it end up like this?

[leftchick]

5. pickles is right, no one suffers more over the deaths of our soldiers

than she and her disgusting other half. :sarcasm:

Couldn't he attend any soldier's funerals today? I am sure there are quite a few around the country happening right now.

:puke:

[babylonsister]

7. Like his mother, he probably doesn't want to sully his 'beautiful mind'.

Have I mentioned lately what a pig he is?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. there is something visceral I feel when I see photos like that.

puking just doesn't cut it as strong enough.

[susu369]

14. Really

The Commander Guy talking about the importance of physical fitness while those soldiers he ordered into harm's way are suffering from hideous wounds - I can't even think of an appropriate word to explain the irony.

[Mend]

6. what about mental fitness...time better spent on the couch, and I don't mean

eating cheetos and watching those cartoons. Play therapy comes after the psychotherapy.

[mike_c]

8. and no poofda boy lycra for our manly pretzeldent, oh no....

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

26. Oh, he's worn Lycra, I've seen pictures.

And I'll never, ever be the same again.

[rurallib]

9. Where's the codpiece? Commander Bicycle needs a codpiece!

He'll be hunting for Bin Laden on this bike ride. He's the bicycling terrorist-hunting guy.

[Oddball]

13. Applause! Applause!

The codpiece line. Please allow me to bask for a moment in your reflected glory.

[AlCzervik]

15. Nero Pedals while Iraq explodes.

[Lautremont]

16. What's he keeping in that little backpack?

Dog skulls or something, I guess.

[Cyrano]

17. You just know that the backpack has to be stuffed with pretzels.

[AlCzervik]

18. that would be an excellent poll question for DU.

[Lautremont]

21. Done.

19. A pint of Jim Beam? nt

[teamster633]

23. "I wonder what...hick...other people put in their Camelbacks...hick?"

[Jade Fox]

20. This man acts like a cutesy jerk, mugging for the camera....

while people die because of his decisions.

Sometimes, the mind just boggles.

[JP Belgium]

22. Hey ! You forgot something !!!

[Cabcere]

27. LOL!

:spray: Nice. :thumbsup:

[madrchsod]

24. notice all the adults have road bikes

and he`s got a "mountain"..they are nice to ride on the street because of the various nasty things that hurts one`s private parts but i`m sure that path is as smooth as a babies` bottom.....

why in the hell is the seat stem all the way to the limit? did anyone tell him he`s supposed to get a bike that fits him not a bike that he has to fit to?

i need to lay down on my head is starting to hurt.....

[Kurovski]

25. I have absolutely no proof of this, but...

in my insanity I'm convinced George meets-up with Jeff Gannon on those bike rides of his.
