1. When did he have the compassionectomy?

Probably a painless procedure for him.

[tk2kewl]

4. he didn't need one

he was born without compassion or conscience (otherwise know as sociopathic)

a physical exam doesn't require a look into the mind or soul

[wicket]

6. It's not part of the Bush genetic make-up

So he was born without one.

[jmowreader]

2. I think they left out a lot of his "social history"

The man is an untreated alcoholic who allegedly really likes marijuana, cocaine and downers.

[merwin]

3. Huh? Social History/Alcohol: None ... WTF?

Didn't he get a DUI?

[Tab]

9. More like two

[burn the bush]

5. where is his mental functioning tests? thats what they need to test n/t

[MGKrebs]

7. "History of vasovagal syncope without pathology, "

History of fainting? LOL. Cowboy indeed.

[MuseRider]

11. Pathology?

Pretzel.

[amazona]

8. damn I'm good did I call it or what?

More face peels at taxpayer expense and right at the top of the menu too!

I will never understand why the face peel is more acceptable than Botox. Both are cosmetic procedures.

[lutefisk]

10. "Height: 71.75 inches (without shoes)" ...........I don't believe it!

He appears to be such a small person. Even with the "urban cowboy" boots and lifts he never stands tall. He must slouch a lot.

[Whoa_Nelly]

17. During debates were the concerns of how small he would look

next to Kerry...and he did! How tall is Kerry?

Chimp ain't no 5-11.75" tall! Chimp is a Shrimp!

[Tracer]

12. "Speech Frequencies Excellent"

They're frequent, all right Ñ but "excellent"?

I think not.

[MGKrebs]

13. Ha!

But really, they had to check that so that they could tune in his remote control thingy properly.

[Anakin Skywalker]

20. LOL!

Good one! :)

[Danmel]

14. Five years between colonoscopies for a 58 year old who has had polyps????

Is that the normal interval? I'd think they'd do that test more frequently. (though I don't envy the eprson who has to do it!)

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

22. NYT: Files Offer Glimpse of Bush* After College...

...(hemorrhoids) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/14/politics/14MILI.html?ex=1077426000&e>

<snip>

Then there is his medical history, set out in more detail than many Americans might want to know. He had his tonsils removed as a young boy, had appendicitis when he was 10 and at 14 had an operation to remove a cyst from his chest, leaving a scar. At the time he applied for entrance into the guard, he had a hemorrhoid, the location of which was charted with military precision.

15. Did they count his chromosomes? n/t

[Fridays Child]

16. The man is on some kind of drug or drugs...

...and I still think he has a seizure disorder. Solitary episode of vasovagal syncope, my eye. How many times has he fallen at the pig farm? He's not just fainting.

[zann725]

18. Doesn't anyone think the 'timing' of his Medical Report is interesting...

just before Electoral Vote? Like they had to REALLY convince those in the Inner Circle that he wasn't really TOO sick...but 'well enough' to perform his duties for another 4 years?

[Ilsa]

19. No alcohol? That's bullshit.

There are pictures oif him drinking socially at state functions. Maybe he had it replaced with non-alcoholic wine, but I don't see the point.

[Anakin Skywalker]

21. Sick and Sicker.

Bush and Cheney.

[merh]

23. Well, we know that none of his vacations were due to illness

"Other: The President has not missed work due to illness since his last physical exam."

The president has just missed work because he is lazy.

[Lisa]

24. those polyps are the only "benign" thing about him

Interesting how the "official" medical report is now stating that he is under 6' tall (the magic number which is popularly associated with physical prowess, etc.). His campaign said he was 6' even though Bush himself admitted he was closer to 5'11". I guess, now that he's getting a second term, he doesn't have to pretend anymore.

Remember when they used to brag about how incredibly low his body fat supposedly was? Now it's in the "normal" range, I see.

[Lady Effingbroke]

25. !!!!!!!!

TMI!!!!!!

[goodboy]

26. they say nothing about his deviated septum, from cocaine abuse

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

[Poppyseedman]

27. There is some good news here.

At least Bush is healthy enough not to really worry that Cheney might be the POTUS before SCOTUS overturns the election.

[JMS825]

28. they missed something on his med record

the treatment for the black eye Laura gave him when she ran him over with the car like she did with her ex boyfriend and he blamed on pretzels

[Brundle_Fly]

29. five foot nine, and

200 pounds? you sint biking 15 miles a day and maintaining that weight, I am sorry.
