I was pretty sure the content of the post was gonna be "fvck yeah!"
In every single one of my high school classes there was one kid like that...just kept using the same word over and over. Never really got a point across...just babbled... Then when the "report" or "speech" was over, got this big, dumb smile on their face...like they just presented perpetual motion to the Nobel Academy or something.
Funny part: They're now productive members of society. "Ya want fries wit dat?"

Sortbus 1?
Which one will he choose?
Why would he care?
On a side note, I think it's hilarious that Bush is an MTBer just because it spites so many here.
Politics aside, he is a dirt roadie. It would be cool if he did anything to promote the sport.
Well, if we cut down all the forests and blast all the mountains flat, you'd create tons of terrain that he could handle. Be careful what you wish for...
Doesn't throw me for a loop or anything.
I know lots of assholes that ride bikes.
Oh please, there is plenty of evidence on RM alone that the world of MTBing is full of asshat douchebags.
...just the fact that so many of the MTB types I know see themselves and their sport as a whole as some kind of environmental, iconoclastic, under the radar nature freak thing...and then to have a tree-hater, war monger President take up the sport...it's just funny to see the wind come out of the sails sometimes.
Edit:
Kind of in the same way that its funny to laugh at the Christians when some famous televangelist gets busted doing men and coke in a rest area bathroom.

When he rides it has to be on doubletrack so his convoy of suburbans can follow him. He also has towers all along the one trail he rides (on his property) so SS snipers can watch every move. One of the mags had people ride with him once. The burbans' carry an extra bike for him too. He can't roadbike because they haven't found a stretch of road secure enough yet. He's in really good shape but he's far from a mountainbiker.
See this post is a perfect example. Of ****ing course he has gaurds and sh*t, he's a hated president. Seeing you call him "far from a mountainbiker" because you just cant deal with the fact that he rides is the best part!
If he's on his huge ranch why can't the man at least ride singletrack?
EDIT: Because it would make it harder to take pictures of him maybe?
Looks like singletrack to me? I don't even like the guy, but get off your high horse. He is as much a MTBer as you are.
From the SFgate
Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and President George W. Bush on a mountain bike tour at Camp David.
From the AP, Also looks like singletrack, in fact it's an XC race course.
President Bush rides with members of the Chinese Olympic cycling team on the Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing. (Charles Dharapak, Associated Press)
I bet GW would put 70% of of the RM crew to shame in an XC race.
No doubt. The article I read (MB Action I think) was about a year ago so who knows what his trail fairies have been up to. I don't remember the numbers but his resting heart rate was lower than Lance Armstong's.
i bet 70% of the RM lounge crew could put GW to shame in 'run this country' contest.
Gotcha. In Memphis, most of the Mtb'ers were quite like GWB. That's why we rode alone, a lot.
sadly you are more than likely wrong on this... it say there is maybe 10% that could do better
I'd say more like %0. It's so stupid that people constantly accuse this Yale grad of being an idiot. He's a goofball and he did get us into a pointless war but he's a cowboy. He's brash and stubborn. He's really the perfect reflection of what an American is. It's a tough job give him credit when he does something goofy.
Cowboys don't go to yale.
:
But they're definitely cheerleaders.
I'll agree with you on that point. However, that's because of my low expectations of Americans.
I'd rather we didn't have Homer Simpson as President. Call me an elitist...
You were tryin' to hoax me...
I'm gonna throw this out there: I went to an ivy, and if I'm not evidence enough that an idiot can do it, believe you me that there were people a whole lot stupider. They were usually, like Georgie, "legacies" (daddy was an alum and a big donor). Fun people, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't trust them to run a bath let alone a country.
I will also say that growing up in rural Ohio, I had friends that went to 2-year technical colleges for "firefighting technology" that were smarter and more capable than many of those "legacies". (True cowboys, by the way, that grew up on horse farms, held multiple jobs to keep the farm afloat, and didn't need to affect a Texas accent to hide the fact that they were really wealthy Connecticut carpet baggers playing "country")
A Yale diploma will pique my interest, but it certainly doesn't give anyone automatic credibility.
I didn't say he was brilliant just not an idiot. He did get a long way thanks to his family but he's not without above-average achievements. I'd say he'd be well-suited as a CEO of a pharmaceutical or truck company maybe.
Yes, he is an idiot and no, he would not be a good ceo.
Idiots can and do get into Yale.
He tried the CEO thing. Several times. He ran every single one of them into the ground. Granted none were pharm or trucking (wtfbtw? there can't possibly be any logical connection between the two), but when the little retarded kid runs the Ford into a tree and the Chevy into tree, you don't see what happens when you give him the keys to the Chrysler.
