A day before his 58th birthday, President Bush spent yesterday riding his mountain bike on the grounds of a Secret Service training facility in Beltsville, faring better than he did on his last bicycle outing.
You'll remember: In May, Bush suffered cuts and bruises after taking a spill when biking at his ranch in Crawford, Tex. Yesterday, he rode his bike for nearly 1 1/2 hours as security personnel trailed him in all-terrain vehicles.
As for the latest ride, the press corps couldn't view it because they were kept in vans on a steamy parking lot as Bush cycled.

George Bush rides a bike and doesn't fall off. That counts as news?

I think it's the first time a presidential candidate has done that so far this year... ;-)

=v= Actually, the _New_York_Post_ said the White House had no comment on whether he fell. :^) I guess the web of lies from the last incident didn't work out too well. <_Jym_
Cheney is much too busy making big cash on the Iraq deal for wasting time riding a bike. Bush has time to ride, because he is just getting kickbacks from the Cheney group. These guys are so above any laws. I wish I could sign up to be one of the good ol' boys in that group. You can do whatever you want.

Brilliant analysis! Because obviously no one is keeping an eye out for even the slightest hint of impropriety.

Heh heh heh... the same paper that has announced [censored] Gephardt as the Kerry's running mate?
=v= The _New_York_Post_ is Fox News for its few viewers who actually know how to read. Any reference to it as a source of news can *only* be ironic. :^) <_Jym_

Jym, you're confused.
One (Fox) presents both sides of the issue.
The other (NYP) reports on alternate universes... ;-)
"Fox" and "both sides" in the same sentance? That's an oxymoron if there ever was one. They have to go out of their way to tell you they're "fair and balanced" because there's no way you'd figure that out on your own.
Reminds me of the quip about American politics: "one political party with two right wings."

Whatever... that's the analysis that independent examination comes up with as well. I know it's hard to get used to any non-liberal news source, but give it some time and you'll realize what you've been missing. For many though, the very thought that news wouldn't be strained through a liberal filter is anathema.
In fact, about 40% of Fox viewers consider themselves liberal. You don't capture 55% of the cable news market because you're doing a bad job presenting the news.

I have yet to find a truly liberal news source in the USA.
None of the mainstream media sources are "extremely liberal", just "well left of center" in their approach to the news. Then again, you may be one of those who think they're all hyper-right (which would only mean Al Franken and Rush Limbaugh probably look pretty much the same to you). ;-)
