Is anyone in the media questioning Bush's state of health? Why is he postponing his physical exam? This is potentially a HUGE story, which could break before the election. I don't understand why noone is talkng about it. At least Salon should be on this one.

1. Bernie Ward noted Bush's lopsided mouth last night on his radio show |
|
And I think a Doctor called in, suggesting that it looked like the results of a stroke. Other than that, I haven't seen or heard anything on TV or radio.

a stroke. If we had "real" journalists, maybe his lop-sided face would be questioned.

a lopsided look because half of the face is paralyzed. It is often caused by excessive drinking or drugs.

5. Noticed it right away at home |
|
His mouth wasn't responding on the left side, and his left eye wasn't crinkling like his right eye did when he smiled or squinted. I thought stroke; Mrs. gratuitous thought botox injection gone wrong.
Anyway, it was readily apparent; can't imagine why the media, which was soooooo interested in what colors Al Gore was wearing back in 2000 can't be bothered to look into this.

6. If the lackey media won't comment on |
|
the emperor's lack of clothing, they certainly aren't going to comment on some of his body parts failing. But seriously, if the president* is in poor or failing health, shouldn't the electorate at least be made aware of it at the earliest possible time. Why would you vote for what might be damaged goods?
