Bush takes day off real world, instead makes his staff run 3 miles in 100* Texas heat

[e-brake]

This is fucking disturbing, does he jsut not get it or what. His staff is suposed to be working on the middle east crisis, cleaning up the weekly terrorism threat, and working on a plan to save the economy. Instead he thinks its a good idea to torture them in the Texas heat.

President Bush spent his afternoon not buried in Middle East diplomacy, but daring his staff at the ranch to join what he calls the "100-degree club." The phrase literally sends shudders down staffers' spines. The president challenged White House employees to run three miles in the central Texas heat across the scrubby terrain on his property. Press Secretary Tony Snow, who sounded as nervous as everyone else, said he would offer a "pant-out" after the run... as opposed to a read-out.


Those finishing the three miles got a T-shirt from the president. Mr. Bush did the course on his bike (his bad knees prevent him from running these days), but rode back to join the runners as they came in. I'm told the president was friendly and encouraging in the most fatherly way -- as he pedaled around the sweaty troops. According to the Weather Channel, the temperature on this patch of Texas was exactly 100 degrees when the run took place. The heat index was 102.

I also heard rumors that he sometimes lies in bed at night for hours at a time, unconscious, not doing his job. How can America ever be safe and prosperous without a mechanical president making correct decisions 24/7 without taking any time off whatsoever to sleep or relax, or enjoy himself?

He's like God, man, the entire universe will collapse in upon itself and simply blink out of existance unless he willfully holds it together every second of every day.
