Bush Refuses Another Physical
Posted by Jill | 3:46 PM
(via The Agonist):


After undergoing his annual medical check-up in August 2001, 2002 and 2003, US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) has put the procedure off this year until after the November 2 election, his spokesman said.

Bush, locked in a neck-and-neck race for the White House with Democratic Senator John Kerry (news - web sites), is in "great health" and got the green light for the decision from his doctors, spokesman Scott McClellan told AFP.

"This has been a busier travel period for the president than the previous three years," the spokesman said.

Bush, 58, is known as an avid physical fitness buff who switched from running to mountain biking earlier this year after hurting his knee.

"The president, like other Americans, talked with his doctors about when to have his physical. They felt it was perfectly fine to do it later this year," said McClellan. "The president is an active person who is physically fit and in great health."


Except that I'm sure he'll find time for another vacation between now and the election.

What doesn't he want getting out about his physical condition? Is he hitting the crack pipe, or just the Jack Daniels?

As one Agonist poster notes:

Stress can do a lot to someone's face and posture and W's got it bigtime. Here's what I imagine is running through his mind: "If I'm wrong about WMD, then I could be wrong about invading. If I was wrong about invading, I could be wrong about what the 'War on Terror'. If I'm wrong about that then I could be wrong about my faith. If I'm wrong in my faith, I need a drink. If I need a drink, then I need more faith. We got to find that WMD. AAAARRRGGGG"


We've been treated by the New Whore Times to an extensive article about John Kerry's health...aren't we entitled to the latest and greatest news about Our Fearful Leader?
