In the next few hours, it will begin to dawn on Liberals that their absolute worst nightmare is about to come true. The White House announced today, that President Bush will undergo a Colonoscopy on Saturday, and since he will be under anesthesia for this procedure, the powers of the presidency will temporarily be handed over to Vice-President Cheney.
That's right, Dick Cheney with his finger on the button. What that button is connected to, depends on the conspiracy or desperate fear of the Liberal in question.

Oprah Winfrey is endorsing a candidate for president -- something that she's never done before. She's unequivocally backing Barack Obama and kicking it off with a four star Hollywood fundraiser.

Not to be name-dropping, but this is true and amusing story about Cheney, "the football" and my first boss:
My first ad agency boss is Cheney's close, personal friend. At the time, 1992, I was an executive assistant to my boss--hey, we all start somewhere. Cheney, who was SOD under GW1, had come to SF to go on an overnight fishing trip up on the Smith River in Nor. California with my boss. Of course, being the SOD, he also carries a "football". (The President carries the other.)
Upon his return, my boss said it was "a little surreal" to be fishing in the middle of a river, in the rain, and just a few yards away seeing two men quietly floating beside them holding the fate of the free world in their hands.
Weird, huh? :-)
Now to really name-drop: I've had the pleasure of speaking and meeting Cheney several times, I'm perfectly at ease with his finger being on the button.

No. Since the absence is assumed to be temporary, it is unnecessary to have anyone fill the Vice President's spot. If Bush were to die or become incapacitated, then Cheney would have to appoint a VP, who would have to be approved by both houses, per the 25th Amendment.
The presidency was transferred to Cheney temporarily once before, in 2002, for the same reason. Must be a 5-year checkup.

Clearly, if Bush is getting a colonoscopy, the only possible reason is that his doctors are attempting to perform a brain scan. Of course, after Bush has done his prep for the scan, there is little liklihood the that the docs will find anything.

All jokes aside, I didn't think general anesthetic was used for routine colonoscopies. Every use of g.a. carries a risk; it's not to be used lightly. Even oral surgeons shy away from it now and prefer to use local wherever possible, correct?
Bush's procedure sounds like it's more than routine; more like there's a serious concern that needs a more thorough investigation.
Any docs on the group wanna comment?

This is a basic procedure..By the Bush decision to make this bigger than it is..only sends the wrong message...but after all..we are dealing with a Texas Rancher who is so afraid of Horses he doesn't ride one...who at a younger age..after hundreds of thousands of dollars spent in specific training...chose not do volunteer in Viet Nam...
