Warning: the article is a bit nauseating talking about what a wonderful athlete he is.

Bush undergoes 4th presidential physical

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Saturday underwent the fourth physical of his presidency after a four-month delay of his usual summertime checkup that the White House says has a perfectly benign explanation -- scheduling conflicts.

1. Hope they check him for mad cow disease

he has the symptoms

[Telly Savalas]

2. What's so nauseating about...

describing Bush as being in good shape? Just because the guy is a horrible president, it doesn't make his 45 bpm resting heart rate any less impressive.

4. They talk about his biking prowess, though he seems to have trouble

staying on the bike.

[Telly Savalas]

14. You can't fall if you don't ride.

Pick on the millions of Americans that are too lazy to get on a bike. Or pick on Bush for his idiotic policies. With regards to physical fitness though, Bush should be commended for keeping himself in such good shape.

17. Bradycardia

It sometimes occurs with increased intracranial pressure, obstructive jaundice, and myxedema.

One can also be prone to fainting while choking on food; for example a pretzel.

OTOH I have a friend with a resting heart rate around forty. He is 81 years old and in good shape. All things considered.

3. it is not his physical health

that I am concerned about
although I DO sometmes wonder what they are covering up-- he don't look so "good"

5. Place your bets, Place your bets...

...we'll hear absolutely nothing about whatever it is that's wrong with him...and we all know SOMETHING IS.

I wonder if could compare the release to be issued today/tomorrow vs. reports from previous presidential physicals and note if they left something Unsaid? They wouldn't be that simple, would they?

[sbj405]

6. The article goes into a lot of detail about previous problems

We'll see if this one is as well.

7. "nearly six feet tall..."

Wasn't he over six feet tall before the elections?

Or was he wearing high heeled cowboy boots during the physicals?

[neebob]

13. I thought he was 5'11"

but then I saw that picture where he appears to have his butt stuck in the side of an SUV, and he's wearing platform cowboy boots that are at least an inch thick. And you know they've got elevators inside them as well. My bet is he's 5'9".

8. 6 feet tall?

Is he on drugs again? That's the only way he can think he's that tall.

[Ms_Mary]

10. So Kerry, who towers over him, is how tall if Bush is 6'? nt

[kedrys]

9. Mmmm...steroids?

It's all the rage, dontcha know. All athletes take 'em, my TV said so all week.

Wonder what the tox screen showed... :evilgrin:

[Vidar]

11. Something painful, terminal and very infectious would be nice.

[neebob]

12. Ugh!

What a stud. :puke:

Are they gonna get him a warm-up jacket that says "Extremely Fit President" or something?

[banana republican]

15. I WANT TO SEE HIS COLONOSCOPY....

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT AN ASSHOLE LOOKED LIKE...

[Endangered Specie]

16. I suppose they had to put him under anesthesia

and made Mr. Bypass Heart Attack president.
