Agnew used to hit people with golf balls, Ford used to fall while
chewing gum, But Bush? He is the most marked up President in our 220 year history.

Black eyes, abrasions, avulsions in his hands, chin deflated due to impact with the ground while attempting to ride a BIKE, etc, etc

What is it with the dude???

5. I used to have a Spiro Agnew wastebasket when I was a kid
It was red, white, and blue (metal) and had a cartoon of Agnew swinging a golf club and hitting a woman in the head, and him saying "but I did yell Fore!"

At the time I didn't understand what "fore!" meant, so I learned something about golf.

Sadly, it seems to have vanished, though we all lament it now. I've never seen another one. It came from Spencer Gifts.

7. He hit her with the ball...
not the club. Just to be clear. If you'd had the wastebasket, you would know.

10. Actually Ford swings a mean golf club as well - And Poppy Bush -
they are both dangerous to be around when holding a golf club.

11. He's just clumsy
Nobody really knows whether he's drinking or not. We know he has in the past, but my dad was an alcoholic for longer than Bush and he's fine now that he stopped drinking so I don't think that alcohol abuse has seriously damaged Bush's brain. Bush was just born that way. Not too bright and a klutz.

14. Def not the sharpest knife in the pouch and clumsy as hell.
No wonder he stays away from the horsey critters, the fall from a Mans Steed is far more than from a Segway/bicycle. He would fetch more than black eyes I would guess.
