Bush and Biking

It's a fluff piece to be sure but I think it gets into the head of President Bush better than most political correspondents have tried. Here's the best part,

"Bush has only been riding the knobby-tired mountain bikes since February, yet he takes on dangerous sections that would give veterans pause. He keeps a cramp-inducing pace on long uphill sections, pouring it on to reach each peak, backing off a little to recover and then attacking the next hill.



He pants hard, emitting low "hrrr, hrrr, hrrr" grunts with each stroke of the pedals, his shoulders bobbing up and down."

His opponents just refuse to understand that Bush doesn't do anything small or simple. He's not lazy and he's not incapable. Too proud? You could probably build a case for that without much trouble. But is he really any more arrogant then Clinton was? You'd have a hard time arguing that.
