Bush's Bicycle Mishap

President Bush scraped his chin, upper lip, both knees, his right hand, and his nose after tumbling off his mountain bike during a ride on his ranch.

When reporters told John Kerry the news, he reportedly replied, "Did the training wheels fall off?"

White House spokesman Trent Duffy was quick to point out that the fall was not Bush's fault. "It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose," he said.

For the record, here's a look at precipitation levels in Crawford, Texas over the past 9 days:

May 22: 0", May 21: 0", May 20: 0", May 19: 0", May 18: 0", May 17: 0", May 16: 0", May 15: 0", May 14: 0.03"

"You know what really makes this embarrassing? The other day the president said the leaders in Iraq are 'ready to take off the training wheels.' That's what he said, 'take off the training wheels.' Then he goes out and falls off his bicycle. And they wonder why the rest of the world doesn't take us seriously." —Jay Leno
