Bush to Go Under While Cheney Rules Free World
Bush bashing Lefties beware. Things could be worse:
President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy Saturday and temporarily hand presidential powers over to Vice President Dick Cheney, the White House said.
Press secretary Tony Snow told reporters Friday that Bush will have the procedure done at his Camp David, Md., mountaintop retreat.
…
Because the president will be under the effects of anesthesia, he 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.
A doctor recommends Bush take a little while after the procedure “to make sure the sedative had no aftereffects.” I think he’s doing it to make the Bushitler crowd freak out a little longer.
