CNN Covers Bush Fall

This is CNN:
President Bush fell off his bicycle Saturday while riding on his ranch, according to White House spokesman Trent Duffy.

Bush, who was accompanied on his bike ride by his doctor, Richard Tubb, a military agent and a member of the Secret Service, fell about 16 miles into a 17-mile ride.

Bush suffered minor abrasions to his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees, but was able to ride back home, Duffy said.

Matt's Chat

After a couple of Google searces, I was unsuccessful finding any CNN coverage of John Kerry's bike accident or his skiing accident. Is the next Communist News Network meme that the President is a clutz?

Also note, that the President didn't blame the Secret Service for his accident. These things happen...

But isn't it odd how CNN didn't cover John Kerry's spills...

11:05 Update:

John Kerry has a pithy comment...
"Kerry told reporters in front of cameras, 'Did the training wheels fall off?' " Mr. Drudge reported on his Web site, www.drudgereport.com.

Interviewed by The Washington Times yesterday, Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter would say only that the words Mr. Drudge reported were "off the record."

Mr. Drudge said the debate among reporters over the on-camera "training wheels" remark has been "whether to treat it as on or off the record."

In comments reported by the Associated Press, Mr. Kerry said, "I hope he's OK. I didn't know the president rode a bike."
Where is this guy's STAFF? They really need to sit him down and remind him that he's running for President. You can't hardly say that the Republican Attack Squadtm is out there smearing you when, you know, you're smearing the President.

Mark's Remarks


John Kerry revealed again that not only does he have no backbone, he has no class. Training wheels indeed. So, where were your training skiis when you rammed that Secret Service agent? Where were your training wheels when you fell on your bike? Mr. Kerry, you demonstrate daily why you lack the necessary qualities to be dogcatcher, much less President of these Great United States of America.
