In Search of Bush’s Brain

Sometimes it is just too easy. AP reports, “President Bush will have a routine colonoscopy Saturday and temporarily hand presidential powers to Vice President Dick Cheney, the White House said.”

I wonder if they will find Bush’s brain. I assume that the purpose of the procedure is to accurately stage his advanced case of cranial rectal insertion.

There was a time in which the news that Dick Cheney was to be in charge would raise the question of how that makes the day different from any other day. Cheney’s influence does appeared to have declined from those days, but there must be some meaning to the fact that Dick Cheney will be in charge on the day in which most of the world is reading about the final battle against the evil Voldemort.

    C’mon, Ron? Is that all you can say? Bush has his head up there?

    Of course not. I say a lot more about Bush in other posts. This was the obvious response to this bit of news, and is reinforced by the more serious posts on Bush.

    Okay, but it’s routine (the surgery, at least, not so much Cheney as acting president). I don’t read all of your other posts, so this one seemed to be of no analysis!

    You’re right–colonoscopies are quite routine. There’s not terribly much to say besides the obvious jokes unless I were to go into a discussion of colon cancer screening. While that is a significant topic, it is not what people come to political blogs to read about.
