Slate - Is the President Shrinking?

[Coloradan4Truth]

President Bush passed his yearly physical on Tuesday, and his doctors say he "remains in excellent health and 'fit for duty.' " According to the medical report, Bush has gained five pounds since last year's exam and lost one-quarter of an inch in height. Wait, is the president shrinking?

Maybe his big head has lost some of its size this year... but I doubt it.

he HAD to be wearing lifts when he does the on-stage handshake.
