"Bush's Exam Will Leave Cheney in Charge"

Oh dear, take every nightmare you've ever had and add another suitcase full of nightmares. I am going to start drinking now, so that I can be unconscious when the bombs start falling on Tehran.

Welcome to the weekend.

WASHINGTON (July 20) - President Bush will have a routine colonoscopy Saturday and temporarily hand presidential powers to Vice President Dick Cheney, the White House said.

Press secretary Tony Snow told reporters Friday that Bush will have the procedure at his Camp David, Md., mountaintop retreat.

The procedure will be supervised by Dr. Richard Tubb, the president's doctor. It will be done by a team from the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Md. Because the president will be under the effects of anesthesia, Bush has elected to implement Section 3 of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, making Cheney acting president until Bush indicates he is prepared to reassume his authority.

1. Doesn't that last sentence presume that

he was ever prepared for authority in the first place?

2. Bush reported a 'severe pounding in the rear'.

It was later determined that Jeff Gannon had been spooning with him for a few days.
The prognosis for the upcoming radical 'sphincter transplant' is described by doctors as 'not very promising'.
The doctors further stated that there is only a 28% chance that new sphincter will not reject Bush.

mightily on a regular basis. How's that for an image for ya?
