AP, on Souter being mugged while jogging: <p>Souter is not the first justice to be injured
while exercising. Justice Stephen
Breyer was thrown from his bicycle
several years ago and suffered minor injuries.<p>****
This is asinine. Souter was attacked while jogging. Breyer fell off a bicycle. What does one have to do with the other? How do we know Oliver Wendell Holmes wasn't hurt while playing tennis?<p>And being injured while exercising is different from being a crime victim.<p>[ May 01, 2004: Message edited by: Bumfketeer ]</p>

From KRT:<p>---------
CONCORD, Mass. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry took a spill from his bicycle while riding Sunday afternoon but was not injured, a campaign official said.
---------<p>But how many other presidential candidates have been injured while exercising?

There was a Speaker of the Australian Federal Parliament Leo McLeay (the Sydney Morning Herald reported) ... <p>..... Leaping Leo, damaged his elbow when a folding bicycle he hired from the Parliament for $2 collapsed under him on Anzac Day, 1990. McLeay sued the Commonwealth and settled, 18 months later, for a payout of $65,000, which included $40,000 for "pain and suffering". A subsequent inquiry, in February 1993 (just before the election), cleared him of any jiggery-pokery in a decision the Herald reported under the headline "Leo cleared: the bike did it". But not before he resigned the speakership.<p>[ May 02, 2004: Message edited by: Paul Wiggins ]</p>

Just how badly is Kerry trying to mimic "The West Wing"?
