Because This President, By God, Is A Man

Bush suffered cuts and bruises when he fell off a bike earlier today. First this made me think he was trying to emulate The West Wing’s Jed Bartlet, who in that series’ pilot episode is reported to have crashed a bike into a tree.

But then, I was struck by just how butch he is. When I read this:

“It’s been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose,” the spokesman said. “You know this president. He likes to go all out. Suffice it to say he wasn’t whistling show tunes.”

Suffice it to say he wasn’t whistling show tunes?

Dear god.

Well, I mean no, obviously not–it’s not like he were some fruity dancer in Les Miz or anything–those people have coordination. And balance.
