This guy can fly a plane but he can’t operate a fucking scooter? What a maroon. [Shrub getting his ass kicked by a Segway](http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20030612/i/1055454096.3154296905.jpg) ---

Yep - because the instant you become president, you are no longer allowed to have moments of klutziness. C’mon - it’s funny - but nothing to pit about. And no - I don’t like Bush - I just don’t think this deserves a pit thread - and I believe it is being discussed in other forums on this board. Susan ---

Ya know - I’m not much of a Bush fan at all, but I’m pretty sure I would look clumsy the first time I tried one of those gizmos too. If this is the best anti-Bush rant you could come up with, you should probably take a little rest. ---

A Pit thread about someone who fell off of a scooter? What’s next, stopping by jarbabyj’s thread “Admit It!” and make fun of people who can’t tie their shoes or didn’t know women had their very own peehole? Classy. ---

1. How does a fucking scooter work, anyway? It sounds like fun. 2. If Bush is a maroon, does that mean he has been Graped? ---

Ok, maybe it was a bad idea. It struck me as funny for a second, but I guess it was pretty stupid to put it in the pit. It wasn’t my best thread idea. Forget I ever started it ---

I thought those things weren’t supposed to fall over. Maybe he forgot to turn it on or something. ---

Maybe he forgot to turn it on or something. \*\* Well, see, normally they don’t but some liberal media person rigged it to do so using the same technology used to make all of the WMD vanish and give GWB public speaking problems in an effort to discredit our president. Or some shit. ---

Isn’t that damn thing supposed to be self-balancing? I’m guessing having a picture of the POTUS eating it on that space-age scooter plastered on the front page of every publication in the nation doesn’t bode well for the inventor. ---

Well sure, he fell… but at least he fell spectacularly. And with cameras around. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-a-fucking-spaz/181659.md?page=2)
