WASHINGTON - (AP) -- President Bush ran three miles and took a walk in the woods with the first lady Sunday at Camp David, resuming an active schedule after his colon screening.

The president and Laura Bush also attended church services at the chapel at the presidential retreat in western Maryland.

What did the press expect--that Bush would be disabled for a week? ... walk funny off the helicopter? ..lose his bowels on the White house lawn?

Gimme a break. This is a routine test that all of us over 50 ought to have periodically. I've had several and the procedure is at most an inconvienence. Good Lord, Katie Couric had her colonoscopy done live on national TV and continued to report her drivel during the procedure. Don't these media hacks have anything better to report?

The Doctor said he observed only a little Daschleitis and the President had some mild Gephardtalgia but both conditions can be easily cured by a good dose of votercillin.

I'm very happy for him, but I've heard way more about presidential colons in my life than I would ever want to know.

Good point and I fully agree. I wonder why the press simply can't say that the President is undergoing a routine medical screening and leave it at that.
