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

"The president is someone who remains in great physical shape," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Friday in previewing Saturday's exam. "Anyone that doubts that can just try to go on a mountain bike ride with him and see."



:grouphug:

When Bush's knees gave out last winter, causing him increasing pain. After nearly three decades of running, he switched to riding a mountain bike.

Because of his disciplined nature, love of exercise and competitive spirit, Bush had no trouble surviving the switch. Those who have biked with him say the president is as aggressive on the trails as he was while jogging.

1. Then why is Bush getting so fat?

[Ms_Mary]

3. What about that tick in his face?

It was really obvious during the debates. I don't think he was purposefully winking.

[quiet.american]

33. He can't handle the truth!

It seemed to me every time Kerry pointed out the unmasked truth about the Shrub, it elicited that winking wince, as though Shrub had just been pummeled with an Ali right-hand lead. :)

2. Oh Horse shit

180

[bullimiami]

4. His body may be ok but his mind is GONE.

If he had one to begin with.

[peekaloo]

5. Ooohhh a man's man. I like it when he aggressively plants his face

in road gravel to show how tough he truly is.

[kedrys]

6. Disciplined nature...? Competitive spirit...?

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

Oh please. The only competition that little bitch can stand is if all the other competitors are eliminated before the event starts.

And as far as the discipline, I read somewhere that * pitches a fit if anyone misplaces his favorite pillow. Real disciplined.

Gods, but I loathe that guy. :grr:

[Bronco69]

7. Just once I would like to hear someone say something

about bush* that doesn't end up making him sound like a f**king superhero!

[blondeatlast]

10. He's a lying, wimpy-assed, cowardly, AWOL, murdering,

dishonest, led-by-the-ring in his nose by Karl Rove, alcoholic, asswipe, mommy's skirts hider.

Hope that's better for you, because I thoroughly enjoyed that!

[Bronco69]

12. ROFLMAO!

Thanks, now if we can just get the rest of the country to say it! :-)

[blondeatlast]

13. Been a long time since I've seen a W.rong pile-on at DU, perhaps

it's time!

[trotsky]

8. Ah, critical news from the "liberal media" I see!

:puke:
How can Mepubs say with a straight face that the media is harsh on their guy? I don't fucking get it.

[AzDar]

9. I don't doubt his physical shape, Scott,..I doubt he's the President. n/t

[blondeatlast]

11. Notice how Scottie never says the word "bush," he always says

"the President."

He could be referring to Bill Clinton, for all we know... :shrug:

[bobbieinok]

34. Gore, now Kerry???????

[ailsagirl]

38. Gore and Kerry could whip Dub's ass in a nanosecond

God, I'd love to see it

[Paranoid_Portlander]

14. So the King is willing to bike-ride with common folks?

I doubt it. Is this lie #2,538? I have lost track.

[blondeatlast]

16. Perhaps, you, like I did, wandered thru November without paying

enough attention.

I think we are now somewhere between 114-115,000 lies.

[TyeDye75]

17. Screw bike riding, Kerry can ski, now that does take strength. /nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. And don't forget Kerry's talent for

wind surfing. :smoke:

I am also wondering if * will be entering the Elbow Bending Olympics.

[ailsagirl]

40. The editor of Sports Illustrated said that wind surfing

is one of the most difficult sports-- that it requires tremendous strength, agility, and balance. He was extremely impressed that Kerry was so good at it. It ain't easy.

And I remember the repugs roundly trouncing Kerry for doing it.

Wonder how many of THEM could keep up??

[ClintonTyree]

15. It's not his physical health that worries me..................

he's mentally unstable. Period. He's long overdue for a mental health check-up, perhaps even a lock-up.

[DavidDvorkin]

18. He's a fake jock

Just as he's a fake everything else.

In pictures where he's not wearing his carefully tailored suit jackets, it's clear that he has the shoulders, chest, and torso of a man who does little upper-body exercise. That contradicts the claims that he works out with weights regularly.

[tsuki]

19. What about the drooling during the debate? And the facial sagging

on the left side?

[goclark]

20. I have not see photos or videos of him biking

I heard them tell me that his doctor was there when he took a tumble off of his bike.

Let's SEE him ride like we use to SEE him jog!

[ailsagirl]

35. Yeh-- doesn't he fall off his bike all the time??

[Patchuli]

21. I think biking's hard on your knees too

but I bet Kerry could outsport him "mano a mano!" LOL! Combat vet or
airchair warrior? hmmmm

Not too mention, all the burned grey matter from his wild youth (and middle age.) I don't think you can drink heavily for 24 or 25 years and not suffer some major cell loss.

[goclark]

24. Still want to see PHOTOS or VIDEOS

Remember that they told us that he zooms all around the hills of Crawford?

Sounds like Scottie is trying to suggest that we take a look at him doing the twirls or jumps with the bike.

Bring on Evil Kanevil!

[Pithy Cherub]

23. Doesn't address the pResident's lack of mental agility and ability!

So will * be getting one of those mental screenings he so fond of for others - let Americans see what really is in his head - :puke:

[SpiralHawk]

25. Shrub's history of bike crashes

May 23, 2004
Yet another weird story of a injury to Bush . This time he was
mountian biking when he hit dirt allegedly "loosened by rain" even thought there has apperently been no rain in Crawford . What is it with this guy and freak accidents ?

36. I like your caption.... cracked me up

[Sparkly]

26. "AGGRESSIVE on the trails" -- bwahaha!!

The first time he fell off his bike, they told us he "wasn't whistling show tunes" (translation: he's not gay). Now he's "aggressive" -- so aggressive he has to bike with his physician in tow.

Why doesn't the physician figure out why he keeps falling off his bike, falling off Marine One, and stumbling over his words increasingly badly? Is he falling off the wagon?

[spanone]

27. I believe NOTHING that comes from this Whitewash House.

[TayTay]

28. Yah, Yah, he's a stud

He belongs out in a pasture somewhere.

[DinahMoeHum]

29. million-dollar body, 1-cent brain.

:evilfrown:

[BrklynLiberal]

30. On another thread about this "checkup" it was mentioned that his

proctologist confirmed what we have all suspected...no brain.

[donsu]

31. since everything they say is opposite of what is real..........

[XemaSab]

32. Mountain biking?????

Mountain biking was invented in MARIN COUNTY, California!

Home of the American Taliban!

Gee, and they call Kerry unamerican for wind surfing!

[ailsagirl]

37. Definitely a Marin thing

[MODemocrat]

39. Bush's mental health worries me more

He's just not up to par mentally, and it seems at times he is cracking.

[ailsagirl]

41. I agree-- but I don't know if he ever had a full deck

He's just a puppet, wired for sound. The evil crooks around him are the real power behind the throne. It's sick, sick, sick

[kodi]

42. when is our Great Helmsman expected to swim the Potomac?
