No Cancer Found After Bush Colonoscopy

The 61-year-old Bush had polyps removed during previous tests in 1998 and 1999 when he was governor of Texas.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - No cancer was detected in five small growths removed from President George W. Bush during a routine colon exam over the weekend the White House said on Monday.

"The president is in good health, there's no reason for alarm," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

Doctors on Saturday removed the small growths, known as polyps, during the colonoscopy.

However, because the doctors found five polyps, they recommended Bush have another checkup in three years Snow said.

Mr. Franklin, I happen to know a freelance imbedded journalist with Wahoo- News!.jive, who held the flashlight in the operating theater, that the doctors,(on condition of ano-nymity cause they're not supposed to tell us squat, to coin a phrase), were unable to determine which end was which, even after consulting with the first lady for verification. She was also unable to determine his head from his ass. So basically, to protect their jobs and make it look like they'd done something, the MRI scans were simply interchanged, and while the operation proceeded another ano-rectal protrusion took temporary command.The prez's mouthpiece, Tony Snow was quoted in a prepared statemant ten pages long as saying, "this too will pass".

With all the crap he's spewed forth, how did the doctors know which end to insert the probe into??
