ok, this takes the cake...

You may or may not have heard that Bush had taken a little fall on his bike, and got a few scrapes and bruises. big woop.

So then, I read that the spokesperson said basically, it's been raining... ok, here's a snippet from the article:

"President Bush took a spill during a Saturday afternoon bike ride on his ranch, suffering bruises and cuts that were visible later on his face just two days before he was to deliver a major prime-time speech on his Iraq policy.

The president was nearing the end of a 17-mile ride on his mountain bike, accompanied by a Secret Service agent, a military aide and his personal physician, Richard Tubb, who treated him at the scene, said White House spokesman Trent Duffy.

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

Now, when I read this, I was like: The Great Leader can't even admit that he just fell off a bike!!! OK, we all know he's a klutz(remember the pretzel, and the Segway?)... So what's the big deal. It's just a sign about how far this administration goes to protect the image, to just blame it... oh, shit, here it comes: blame it on the rain. ouch, i can't believe i just said that.

but now, via Tom Tomorrow's Blog, I found this link:

Where Kos digs a little deeper still. Not only did they attempt to blame it on the weather and loose topsoil, but they fucking lied.

Here's what the rest of the dailykos page says:
------------
So it's been raining a lot in Crawford, we are told. So here's the recent precipitation levels from Crawford:

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"
May 13: 2.79"
May 12: 0"
May 11: 0.15"
May 10: 0"
May 9: 0"

May 13th saw some serious rain, but other than some sprinkles on the 14th, Crawford saw nothing but sun. In the last week alone, the temperature was in the high 80s the entire time.

So rain on the 13th and (barely) 14th was blamed for a Bush fall on the 22nd. As everything else, it wasn't Bush's fault. Nothing is Bush's fault.
---------

0 fucking inches of rain. NONE. How fucking god-damned pathetic is this? I mean, yes there's much more bigger stuff that he's lying about. But this is fucking absolute proof positive. You can't say: Oh, our intelligence was bad. There's no excuse for this.

Now watch, by executive fiat, there will be a magic change in the weather logs whereby there WILL have been rain. just watch. If the administration could pull that off, we're in deep shit.

I hope these fuckers get the fuck out.

I love the "He likes going all out - Suffice it to say he wasn't singing show-tunes" - like because he was biking and fell off, we all think he's a faggot. Christ, what backward thinking redneck fucks that probably spend more time in Crawford raping cattle than worrying about the state of the country.
