Bush Collides With Scotland Police Officer During Bike Outing

President Bush collided with a local police officer and fell during a bike ride on the grounds of the Gleneagles golf resort while attending a meeting of world leaders Wednesday.

Bush suffered scrapes on his hands and arms that required bandages by the White House physician, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

The police officer was taken to a local hospital as a precaution, McClellan said. The extent of the officer's injuries was not known, but he might have an ankle injury, the spokesman said.

Rather than get snarky about the inability of the most pwerful man on the planet to ride a two-wheeler, I think we need to think of this in the context of possible organic deterioration, as suggested last week by Wolcott.

Update: Wolcott is all over it.
