George W. Bush falls off bike Saturday afternoon…suffers abrasions to his face, right hand and both knees. 
Told about Bush’s mishap, John Kerry replied, “Did the training wheels fall off?”

P.S. Ride safely. Don’t drink and ride (especially while eating pretzels)!
Is that story really true or just wishful thinking on your part?
Would I make such a story up? 
It’s true. I Got the story from the AP news wire services; you can also read about it at http://www.drudgereport.com
but it was Kerry who recently fell off a snowboard several times and conveniently blamed at least one of them on a “f****** bastard” secret serviceman who was apparently in the way.
and let us not forget Kerry’s own bike accident: http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/kerry/articles/2004/05/02/kerry_uninjured_in_fall_from_bicycle?mode=PF
it seems we are experiencing a “cycle” of clumsiness on both sides of the presidential race
Edited word above. I understand you’re just quoting above, but let’s try to keep the language clean here. We have impressionable adults reading this forum. -Mariek
However, only one of these two candidates has managed to fall off a self-balancing scooter.
And in America this is considered politics?
When did the phrase “the Gods have feet of clay” get coined?
Maybe it was from Al Gore.
“…and hearts of stone.”
It may have been Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.
lol quite the thread PeterD! And to think…Canadians find sponsership scandels equally amusing! Just imagine…without politics what would people debate so vigorously?
Indeed!
ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολιτικὸν ζῷον.
I don’t know about the Kerry response. Even if that is what a good percentage of my fellow citizens thought.
I just saw him on the t.v. and he has this huge patch of makeup on his chin! Now he’s gonna make a speech tomorrow night. That should be funny.
This is outside of the topic of this thread; but don’t you need a verb?
Hi Eureka,
In a Greek sentence, as in an English sentence, when the verb is a stative verb (e.g., εἰμί, γίγνομαι, etc.), the subject complement (i.e., predicate noun or adjective) is in the nominative case. In Greek, the stative verb may be expressed, or it may be implicit though unexpressed. For example,
ὁ George W. Bush μῶρός ἐστιν.
ὁ George W. Bush μῶρος.
Take care.
Peter
