Bush's Colon Is Cancer-Free

Polyps Removed From President Were Benign; White House Says He's "In Good Health"

(CBS/AP)  Doctors found no cancer in the five small growths removed from President Bush's colon, the White House said Monday.

The growths, called polyps, were found during a routine cancer scan that Mr. Bush underwent Saturday at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland. Examinations showed the growths were benign — in line with the White House's expectation that none of the five polyps appeared "worrisome."

"The president is in good health," Bush spokesman Tony Snow said. "There is no reason for alarm."

Doctors discovered that Mr. Bush had two polyps during a similar scan in 1998, and two more were found during a colon screening in 1999, while Mr. Bush was governor of Texas. That made the 61-year-old president a prime candidate for regular examinations. The screening done in 2002 revealed no polyps or abnormalities.

Mr. Bush's next cancer scan will be in three years, his press secretary added, saying that is the typical interval between exams given the amount of growths found this time.

Polyps are extra pieces of tissues that grow inside the large intestine. Most polyps are not dangerous, but over time, they can turn cancerous. To be safe, doctors typically remove the polyps and test them. Finding them early is considered one of the best ways of preventing disease.

Mr. Bush regularly exercises and is considered to be in excellent shape for a man his age.

During the colonoscopy, Mr. Bush temporarily transferred the powers of his office to Vice President Dick Cheney under the rarely invoked 25th Amendment.

Mr. Bush invoked the presidential disability clause of the Constitution at 7:16 a.m. EDT. He transferred his authority to Cheney, who was at his home on the Chesapeake Bay in St. Michaels, Md., about 45 miles east of Washington.

Nothing occurred during the 2 hours and 5 minutes of the transfer that required Cheney to take official action.

The amendment, approved in 1967, four years after President Kennedy was assassinated, provides for the temporary or permanent transfer of presidential power in case the president is unable to fulfill the duties of the office.

It had been used only twice before.

In July 1985, President Reagan had colon cancer surgery and turned over power to his vice president, George H.W. Bush. During the president's colorectal screening on July 29, 2002, Bush relinquished powers to Cheney for more than two hours.

This transfer of power took place with letters Bush faxed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., president pro tempore of the Senate. Bush reclaimed his authority at 9:21 a.m. EDT with follow-up letters to both lawmakers.

"This letter shall constitute my written declaration that I am presently able to resume the discharge of the Constitutional powers and duties of the office of the president of the United States," Bush's one-paragraph letter said.

Now if they could only extract perception5 and mudrose out of his azz, he wouldn't have to clear his throat everytime he speaks.

[long_rider]

Well this story is not quite correct. The doctors went up his a*s and found a brain tumor.

"The president is in good health," Bush spokesman Tony Snow said. "There is no reason for alarm."

Uh, they apparently forgot to check his _mental_ health!

[realpatriot1]

They need to check between his ears...that's where his *** is.

Or, they found Cheney in his secure location.

[shanev137]

what about that polyp between his ears? probably not benign.

[gracchus1]

There might not have been any cancerous tumors, but they also found Nancy Pelosi's head up there too.

The president is in good health.

More the reason to be alarmed.

-Good one rushlimpdrug.
-Randy, no luck this time. Daaaiing!, Try again...

[a-ji]

Its good to hear that the polyps were benign and he is in good health.

[sshard]

It is good to hear Bush is without cancer. But that is only because he can get the best of care, unlike the Iraqi vets who coming home and have to sue to get the treatment and follow up they deserve.

[digdafunk]

"The president is in good health... There is no reason for alarm." Then please tell me when we can all awake from this friggin' nightmare.

[wny14127]

Mr. President,

Your doctor called, they found your brain and your heart during the operation. But they said since you don't use them anyway in your Administration they saw no reason to change things.


(18 more months of this idiot, we're doomed)

[imprisonbush]

"The president is in good health," Bush spokesman Tony Snow said. "There is no reason for alarm."

This IS a reason for alarm. Not sure which is worse though: the idea that Cheney actually had the legal right to act as President during the surgery or the fact that Bush is apparently physically healthy (mentally, neither one of these fools should be operating heavy machinery).

Now we know where singinrick, lars008, didntinhale, mudrose and nunesbras all hangout.

Did they find Bin Laden up there as well?

The President had 5 poyips removed over the weekend from his Colon. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shumer, Carl Levin and *** Derbin are doing just fine- Quote Rush Limbaugh

Too Funny

Cheney apparently told them all to get out of his home.

Now if they could just remove his head!!

Did I say you used the word "hate"?

You don't need to use the word "hate" to actually spread hatred nor ignorance.

I don't recall hearing Hitler ever saying that he hated the Jews either.

They did find a brain tumor up there.

Disagreeing with a lifestyle or a viewpoint is not hating someone, it is believing in something being wrong. I don't hate a soul mcdazz.

So keep posting false accusations....post away."

Oh, that's right, you just post links to hate sites that featured anti-muslim propaganda, as well as video material of the beheadings of Americans.

But that doesn't mean you endorse or believe what those hates sites say, does it?

And why would anyone think that you were helping to spread and foster the hatred towards one group of people just because you post links to those hate sites.

Gee, I wonder singinrick.

singinrick, a real christian, one who is supposed to practice tolerance, understanding and love, would NEVER post a link to a hate site.

But you did.

Yeah, but didn't they do a biopsy on that giant tumor between his ears? It sure looks malignant to me. It's already proven that it's terminal. To our soldiers and not him sure, but still....

Freedom?

Yeah, you know, its that "pie in the sky by and by" freedom that requires you to first accept and submit to slavery here, like a good little Roman and Greek servant, in hope that you will enjoy the freedom that will come after you're dead.

Agreed Randall, but the only surgeons legally capable of the excision necessary for its' removal refuse to scrub up for the operation, perhaps because the patient plagued with this cancer (us) has no medical insurance coverage...

[snixchance]

Too bad the *** was not riddled with cancer; that would be too easy a death for him. Better yet, send him over to fight his useless war; maybe that will finally be the end of him. I pray that he ends up dying of a disease that could have been cured by stem cell research - wouldn't that be a kicker! No tears here!

"Bush's Colon Is Cancer-Free"

Oh! I am so happy for him!

I was sitting-up all night, anxiously reading my Bible, praying that the Lord our God singinrick would grant mercy on G. W. Bush ...

As singinrick passes judgement on all that offend Him, let us pray that singinrick, our jealous God, will show us mercy ...

Please singinrick show us your mercy ... just f*uk off ...

singinrick said,

"Millions of Muslims are coming to know Jesus as their personal savior every year."

Funny! As there are 1.4 billion Muslims in the world, all of them will be Christians in about five years time according to you.

"When people find Jesus, He makes all things new. I've seen it happen in my life, and you can see it happen too if you believe in Him."

From Benny Hinn:

Study Links Religious Freedom, Economic Well-being
"God has a plan to prosper you and bring you a future and a hope. In order to see His plan unfold in your life, you need to know about the two most important enemies of receiving. These are the most common things that keep people from receiving God's blessings. If you can recognize them and overcome them, you'll be able to receive blessings in your finances, your family, and also your physical body."

The message, believe in Jesus and get rich ...

Sick ...

No such luck I'm afraid. Like any other kind of vermin no matter what you do you can never really get rid of them completely.

Radical islam is evil and if you can't see the murderous atrocities being committed by this movement every single day on the news I don't know what to tell you. The so-called "propoganda" you are accusing me of posting is the same thing all of us Americans had to watch in horror when journalist Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered by islamic jihadists. It's not propoganda mcdazz, it happened, and it's because of evil radical islamic militants that it did."

Had to watch? You didn't have to watch anything singinrick, but instead you posted a link to a hate website in a forum that is accessible by kids.

The website you posted to didn't - from memory - differentiate between extremist muslims and ordinary muslims.

It was a hate site directed at Muslims and you supported that website.

And that fact that you posted a link to a site that features the beheading of someone, and that you posted it in a forum that is accessible by children, highlights your lack of responsibility regarding these matters.

Do you post links to websites that feature video footage of people killed by other Americans, singinrick?

No, and people face more a danger of being killed by their neighbor or a drunk driver then by an "extremist muslim".

Really? Then why do you constantly preach to people, and why do you openly condemn homosexuals etc?

Are you the one who is supposed to judge them?

No - that is not your responsibility and the bible makes that clear.

Why do you choose to follow certain scripture but not others singinrick?

Is it because you're a hypocrite?

Bush's surgeon just called - they found 5 polyps, 4 condoms containing cocaine (from his early days) and one religious a$$hole hypocrite called singinrick.
