What if the "Falling Off the Bike" Is a Cover-Up Story?
Think about this....Bush's been rumored to have epilepsy which could explain the "pretzel" incident, and now the bike incident. Also, the medication for that could explain Bush's mangled English. What do you think?

4. because I think it's dangerous to have an epileptic president
in the White House. What if Bush was hanging near the red button, went into an epileptic fit, and accidentally pushed the red button? ;-)

20. I don't like how you said "epileptic fit".
The correct terminology is "seizure". Epileptics have seizures, not fits.

25. I'd rather trust an epileptic president...
...than one who has a hugely destructive agenda and is soberly and coldly executing it.

If the warhead was aimed at Jerry Falwell's house and Lynchburg VA was an empty town that day, perhaps you can call it an act of God...

21. Hey. It's Karma for his "Iraq taking off the training wheels" quip he made
last week.

Very condescending and simplistic.

Laura probably slugged him when he got drunk again, like the "pretzel incident", anyway

5. I have two epileptic cousins
The medicine doesn't cause speech problems, nor does it cause one's IQ to drop to double digits. However, if he has epilepsy and does not take the meds, he might be subject to periodical blackouts of only a second or two in duration where he could wet his pants, or merly stop for a second and come back, not even aware that he blanked out for a couple of seconds.

10. He's a boozehound.
He gets drunk, he falls off bikes. He gets drunk, he stumbles through press conferences. He gets drunk, he falls off a Segway. He gets drunk, he attacks countries based on a double-agent's information.

14. This is a sign of parental abuse.
If you see scrapes and bruises on anybody with an intellect of a child, you should contact authorities immediately, as it is often evidence of beatings by the mother or father.

15. Cnn just said injured knee and maybe injured pride.
I suppose it could be epilepsy, but I thought that was controlable with medication.

I'd be more inclined to believe a few too many beers, OD on meds, or just plain as clumsy on a bike as he is with his speech!

39. He ought to try floating it...
Epilepsy might be an excuse for choking on a pretzel and other mishaps. I guess some medication might be an excuse for the speech, although I haven't seen that in people I know who have epileptic seizures. At least he could give it a shot. However, none of that would excuse or explain his astoundingly bad decisions. The only disability that can account for those is honest to God stupidity.

50. I don't know about the epilepsy.
This is the first I've heard of it. Granted, I've gone waaaaay out of my way to avoid stories about our selected leader. It makes sense, though. If not epilepsy, the man is incredibly clumsy in the physical sense, as well as inept in so many other ways.

The mangled english...I have wondered about that. You can't miss it, even when you only catch him switching channels. A learning disability? Just plain illiteracy? He's happy with his Cs and he's obviously anti-intellectual. I think he's semi-literate and gets all of his canned rhetoric scrambled when he tries to remember the script he's been practicing.

Epilepsy or illiterate, or both, the man is a humiliation.

165 days and counting until he gets his eviction notice.

"It's been raining a lot. the topsoil was loose," the White House spokesman noted.

This will just make Bush more committed to the War on Terra.

is his desire to wear make-up. What better excuse to wear a Max Factor's pancake makeup than bruises do to an accident.
