Maybe he is still looking for those weapons of mass destruction?

It is rumored that in observation of the established Administration practice of dictating to scientists and others at Federal Agencies regarding the results that their work is to find and the permissible limits on what they may report to the public, Mr. Cheney has spent the entire day with the attending physician in rehearsals of the post-op press conference that is anticipated following this procedure.

Any suggestions of new ways to say

          OOPS!

should be submitted ASAP.

I wonder how the media will handle all this?

In a quest to find the Lost Treasure of the Incas, the President of the United States will be undergoing a colonoscopy in an undisclosed location. White House insiders have spoken off the record to say that George Bush has received get well cards from a grateful nation and the odd 'bon voyage' or 'please write' from some people in California.

Richard Cheney was wetting his lips and not licking his chops at the prospect of being the acting-President. Insiders say that he's been doing the job for six years or so and at least this way he'll get paid for it. To quote acting-President Cheney, President Bush will teach you all how to turn the other cheek."

We should probably all go to undisclosed locations. Just in case.

Man, it is really difficult to refrain from adding to this thread! So much that could be said! So little bandwidth!

"Why are they doing this at Camp David instead of at Bethesda or Walter Reed? Are there better health care facilities there?"

Hey, does anyone suppose they'll locate the heads of Stephen Harper or Tony Blair when the 'operation' taks place?

There is no way Cheney could keep it. And why would he want to? As you say, it's a step down.

You don't suppose that when the colonscopy tube is withdrawn there will be a large sucking sound and W's head will come out along with it, do you?

At least they will have the chance to take a picture of the presidents brain during the procedure.

Bush will have colonoscopy

'The president has had no symptoms,' Snow says before Saturday procedure

BREAKING NEWS
The Associated Press
Updated: 11:40 a.m. CT July 20, 2007
WASHINGTON 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.
He last underwent colorectal cancer surveillance on June 29, 2002.
"As reported at the time and in subsequent physical exams, absent any symptoms, the president's doctor recommended repeat surveillance in approximately five years," Snow said. "The president has had no symptoms."


The big question:

Can we trust Cheney to give the powers back?

Secondary question:

Isn't this a step down for Cheney?
