I don't know if that all took, but (is it just me) or is this guy having to really strain at finding things wrong with President Bush?

"Does the leader of the free world need to attain that level of physical achievement? Bush not only thinks so, he thinks it goes for the rest of us as well. In 2002, he initiated a national fitness campaign."

Oh, for Pete's sake! When I was in high school (and it was before the days of Bush the first) there was a presidential fitness campaign.

"The notion of a connection between physical and mental potency is, of course, silly.

Where has this guy been? Men's fitness (May, 2002) says, "In a study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, people who ran on a treadmill for 30 minutes prior to taking a computer test did better on the test than those who did no pretest exercise, and brainwave measurements showed that their decision-making speed had increased."

I understand liberals (and even some conservatives) having problems with some of the things Mr. Bush does - but exercise? Come on...
