BETHESDA, Md. (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) was declared to be in "superior" health after his annual physical exam on Saturday but lamented a weight gain he blamed on months of campaign travel.

"I've obviously have gone through a campaign where I probably ate too many doughnuts, if you get my drift" he said. "My New Year's resolution has become apparent by getting on the scales."

"Although I think the doctor put out a report that shows me to be physically fit -- I'm still able to get on the stress test -- I'm a little overweight," he said. "Therefore, I fully intend to lose some inches off my waistline and pounds off my frame. But other than that, I feel great."

Bush, 58, said it was clear he had just gone through a campaign after he stepped on the scale during his exam at the National Naval Medical Center in the Washington suburb of Bethesda, Maryland.





Donuts, yeah, uh huh, how dare you call this a beer belly!

1. So switch back to pretzels

What could that possibly hurt? O8)

2. They've gone to his head -

all fat with a hole in the middle.

He wants to lose weight, he should lose that ludicrous Big Brother jacket, pick up a weapon and go spend some time in the desert. I know just the place. They need more boots on the ground, even unabraded cowboy boots will do.

9. I notice the lump on his back is gone in the new photo-ops :-)

That should about a pound of weight!

:-)

but he can take NO questions because he can not hear Rove at the new photo ops.

4. Is this story really necessary?? Does anyone care??

5. It's the Giving Season

Maybe Bush could have given up some dishes to the needy. No, it's not in his nature or his background. As a child of elitism, he simply refuses to recognize the poor are out there. But he does think they make good fighting stock for the fight for corporate globalism.

6. "If you get my drift..."

I guess it was really all the alcohol he's been downing. Lot of calories in hooch.

7. he needs a few more donuts to lament about.

Was he given a MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION along with his physical?
His real INCOMPETENCE should have shown up on that..."if you get my drift".......

8. Yeah, that's it...his biggest problem is 'too many doughnuts'. LMAO and

just shoot me now. :+

10. In other news... Yuri Andropov declared in top physical shape...

...next on FoxNews.:eyes:

11. too many donuts = bigger butt

well, that explains the new nominees for the various post positions -- if you have a bigger butt then you need more butt-kissers to ensure complete coverage of the area in question

12. Maybe mystery debate-time lump under jacket is...

really Krispy Kreme fat deposit??? :crazy: :evilgrin:

[Poor Richard Lex]

14. Never had to worry about health care a day in his life

too bad he won't extend the same "privilege" to the rest of Merka

[The Zanti Regent]

15. Diet Coke and Krispy Kremes?

illogical, Captain...

[phasev]

16. how about the results of his psych eval? n/t

[PATRICK]

17. If we distrust everything

then this forced joke may be covering what? Swelling or water weight due to types of drugs or illness?

Of course, no one is allowed to even hint at possibilities like that but the cover-up with a joke is obligatory anyway. They covered for JFK and LBJ and on and on. It is one of the last taboos generally observed and perhaps the worst since it will never question the fitness or condition of the crowned head of America.

I give Bush absolutely no benefit of the doubt on any statement. They usually sound like nervous rants from a third rate hood.

18. Top Cop

free coffee and donuts?

[trapper914]

19. He likes doughnuts, He says "nuke-you-ler."

My gawd! He IS Homer Simpson.

20. been gettin' your 'drift'

for four years now you jerk.

but you keep eating those doughnuts, you hear? they're good for you and better than that, while adding to your 'bottom line' you add to the corporate bottom line.

wash 'em down w/ some eggnog and rum. eat up!

21. Bush needs a mental health screening.

Should be mandatory for Ferengi pigs like him.
