Bush to Have Colonoscopy; Cheney to take presidency temp.

[JTD]

AP:
US President George W. Bush will undergo a "routine colonoscopy" at the Camp David retreat on Saturday, temporarily ceding his powers to Vice President Dick Cheney, the White House said Friday.
Cheney will serve as acting president until such time as Bush, who will be under anesthesia, says he is ready to resume his duties, presidential spokesman Tony Snow told reporters.

"The president has had no symptoms" of cancer, said Snow, who noted that Bush had been scheduled for such an examination since undergoing a colonoscopy in June 2002.

7:16-9:21am ET this morning... so Bush was back in power when you made this post.

I slept through Cheney's reign.

[Miss Mary]

Not just yet. You're sedated for this procedure so Bush will likely sleep the day away. You're not even supposed to drive after one of these procedures (not that Bush drives anywhere probably). But I imagine he's not 100% yet....LOL

*Edit* I stand corrected. Bush received a different sedative than the majority of patients receive! Imagine that, guess when you're the Prez you get a few perks along the way.......LOL! Me? I'll take the usual so I can get a day of rest after one of these oh so fun procedures.....
