A George Bush non-story
Posted February 27th, 2006 in Culture, The Desk
I dislike George Bush as much as the next guy but this truly is a non-story.
He may be the most powerful man in the world, but proof has emerged that President George Bush cannot ride a bike, wave and speak at the same time.
Scotland on Sunday has obtained remarkable details of one of the most memorably bizarre episodes of the Bush presidency: the day he crashed into a Scottish police constable while cycling in the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel.
Folks fall off their bikes everyday, the President would be no exception. Hell I’m happy to have him counted as a member of the fraternity of cyclists, and would be more than happy to share a ride with him despite me disagreeing with the full sum of his Presidency. As H.G. Wells once said: “Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of mankind”.
Still, some video of the crash would have been sweet.
