The Washington Times had this priceless paragraph in there coverage of “Joke-gate“:

Mr. Bush, who is widely ridiculed by liberals and Democrats as dumb and incompetent, suffered “minor abrasions and scratches” in the accident, which came near the end of a 17-mile mountain bike ride on his Texas ranch Saturday.

After hearing of the accident, Kerry was heard to remark, “Did the training wheels fall off?” Variations of this joke, referencing last Thursday’s cheerleading session with Republicans in Congress where Bush was quoted saying it was time for Iraqis to, “take the training wheels off” appeared everywhere within minutes of the news hitting the web.

This bit of humor was obviously lost on the Washington Times and Matt Drudge, who both look like idiots and both admit to being right about 80% of the time.*

*Okay, the Times doesn’t admit it, but they should. Drudge meanwhile wishes he could approach 80%.
