Why won't Bush take his required Presidential physical?

Here is a sketchy medical history:

With the election/Iraq pressure is he drinking heavily or doing drugs? Or is he trying to conceal another physical malady?

1. Onset of Dementia...................

it seems to happen to all CONservatives later in life. I suppose it's the constant lying and mean spirited life style of their earlier years that's causing it.

2. It it required?

Or just merely customary? We've had Presidents with serious health problems in the past - Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, & Johnson are good examples - but I don't think the tradition of publically releasing the results of an annual Presidential physical began until the Nixon era.

I could be wrong, though.

9. I don't think it's required but,

in the middle of a tight race, why would he pass up a no pressure-feel good photo op which all the networks would have covered ad nauseam.

Would the doctors really had a press conference if they found something?

3. Because he's a jerk.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.

He's a stereotypical rich snot.

10. He's afriad his "doc" is gay.

And might want to marry him. Which he is against. Unless his "doc" is his running mate's kid. In which case he's a kind-hearted human being.
