So * is finally going to have his yearly physical
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.

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.

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.

180

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?

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?

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.
