10 Doctors for Bush - "Fit for Duty"
excerpt:

"Earlier, the White House put out a short summary letter signed by the 10 doctors who participated in the exam. "Within the scope of my specialty, I find him to be fit for duty and have every reasonable expectation that he will remain fit for duty for the duration of his presidency," the statement said.

Presiding over the medical exam were White House physician Richard Tubb and Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the president of the Cooper Aerobics Center. Also involved were a radiologist, optometrist, sports physician, hearing specialist, skin specialist, cardiologist and others."

1. Fit for Latrine Duty

The only job George Walker Bush is really qualified for is not cleaning toilets, it's handing out wash towels.

EDIT: Insulted some friends of mine.

4. Nor a neurologist.
During his time in the TANG, Smirko McCokestroke had more than his nerve damaged.

6. Did they list a proctologist?
And can anyone imagine a worse job than being Shrub's procto?

3. And all they found wrong with him...
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 10:58 PM by mcscajun
...was a bit of weight gain, some increase in his cholesterol levels, and a rise in his resting heart rate? Oh yeah...and they removed a lesion from his left shoulder --- so that's what the 'bulge' on his back was? Sure. J/K.

His big problem...Doughnuts.

``I obviously have gone through a campaign where I probably ate too many doughnuts, if you get my drift,'' said the usually trim Bush, who pledged to drop some weight in the new year. ``But other than that, I feel great,'' he said upon leaving the National Naval Medical Center outside Washington.

Unbelievable...there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with this man...and it's doughnuts that he's worried about?

Would that he'd take up pretzels again, eh?

5. Was any of those doctors a psychiatrist?
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 11:05 PM by ocelot
Did anybody do a psych evaluation? Give the boy the MMPI? I don't care about his physical condition, but it sure seems to me -- especially after his bizarre performances in the debates -- that El Chimpo is a raving nutjob who needs to be fitted for one of those white jackets with the really long sleeves and given all the Thorazine and Haldol he can eat....

8. I doubt any of those doctors ever set eyes on Bush.
It's amazing what a few suitcases full of cash can do.

Or just an anonymously mailed "before" and "after" pictures of the poisoned Ukranian dude.
