OK, I'll confess: I'm listening to the Republican convention.
My rationale could be something like the one I offered for practically memorizing Das Kapital when I fancied myself an acolyte of Ayn Rand and St. Paul: I was learning how and what "the other side" thinks. Oh, I offered a similar explanation, if only to myself, when I used to go shopping with girlfriends and female friends when I was in my boy-drag.
Everyone from Kimberly Guilfoyle to Nikki Haley, when they're not accusing Trump's predecessor of leading us into an abyss to which his opponent will return us, are touting all of the wonderful things the The Orange One has supposedly done.
I want to hear what he'll promise next. One of his most recent pledges, made last week, is to never, ever ride a bicycle again. Actually, he promised not to get hurt on a bike: a jab at John Kerry, who crashed in the French Alps, where he was negotiating with Iran's foreign minister.
He plans to avoid Kerry's mishap in the easiest way possible: He won't ride a bike. Ever.
Kerry took his tumble five years ago. Trump picked on him because he couldn't throw shade on Joe Biden who, on a ride near Valley Forge, zipped past a Fox News reporter.
Trump's anti-cycling rant is ironic considering that, for two years, he sponsored what was arguably the most important bicycle race in the United States. It's fitting, I think, that one of the participating teams, Sauna Diana, was sponsored by a Dutch brothel.
Somehow I get the feeling Joe Biden, even at his age, might be too fast for them.

He can barely walk and certainly not down ramps or up slopes on golf courses so I doubt that he can ride anyway!
ReplyDeleteVoyage--True. So his pledge not to ride is not the first empty promise he's made!
