Bush can't jog anymore - bad knees

[elfin]

And we all know how cranky he gets without his favorite substitute addiction.

I don't think biking will give him the same "runner's high" - how might this affect the campaign?

From US NEWS via Wonkette blog -

Bush's balding knees
The nation's 43rd president is just 58 years old, but he's starting to feel as old as his father. In fact, President Bush has finally accepted that his knees are shot and his jogging days are over. First lady Laura Bush tells our White House correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh that the prez's injured knee just isn't healing as quickly as he wanted. "He thinks probably that he never will really be able to run like he did, again," says the first lady. "Your legs are like tires, and his is bald." Which explains why Bush has fallen for a new sport, mountain biking--it's fun to do even with bum knees.

2. A simple...............

adjustment of his medication will take care of it. Let's see, that will be TWO of the blue valium instead of one from now on.

4. I think it was too dangerous for him anyway...he is too stupid to ride

5. Well if the Bunny pants had any sense

he'd know he could swim (easy on the bad knees) actually from what I understand it's the best exercise less potential for injuries? Hell, you know he has access to a pool (his own not public) it's nice to be one of the elites, No?
If he wants to use a public pool he can get the SS to shut out the public he has practice at shutting out the public so why the hell not?

:cry:boo hoo! like I feel sorry for him and his bum knees at least he can get health care for his bum knees! Over 43 million Americans don't even have Health Insurance and 18 thousand die a year due to that lack of health care.

6. coke isn't the only thing Bush blew, apparently.

"Your legs are like tires and his is bald?" What an exemplar of grammar Laura Bush (librarian) is.

16. Even the flag is flying left

I think Georgie Boy should take that as an omen.

I bet they airbrushed out the kick stand. He doesn't look like he's really moving. Or maybe it's a stunt double?

19. haha - they're making him look like he 'rides with the wind' - what a man!

8. Bush is an idiot

I've been distance running most of my life.
He always runs too fast and hard, and no doubt on hard surfaces like roads.
If you are careful and sensible you can have a nice long life of running.
Bush is a victim of his own self-destructive type A behavior.
