Bush's Health

The mystery bulge story won’t go away. And as conjecture runs wild, we now have a curious choice. Is the hump on Bush’s back a listening device or is it the business-end of a medical appliance? Take your pick. Either our President is a cheat or he’s sick. The idea that Bush may have had a stroke is a more benign explanation than he’s too dumb or too lazy to do his homework and gets information via an earpiece in his ear canal. But it’s also much more unsettling to think that not only is Vice President Cheney at risk for sudden death--he’s already had umpteen heart attacks. But the man who will do anything to be re-elected as President may also have serious health problems. Doctors on the Blogs are now weighing-in on this What-Is-It? question. A few have said they have used medical appliances on stroke victims such as the one apparently strapped to Bush’s back. So what are we to make of this? It explains why the President has refused to have a medical check-up. It explains why he fumbles for words and flies off on tangents. It explains the spittle in the corner of his mouth during the last debate and why his face sags on the left side. And if he had a stroke it may be genetic. George Herbert Walker Bush had a “slight” stroke on-camera while he was President which was vigorously denied at the time. In the end, it doesn’t matter if this intriguing question is ever answered. What we know for sure is that right now we have the halt and the lame-brained in the two top positions in US government. And they are seriously endangering the welfare of the entire world. It’s time for a change.
