| Politics "wid" a taste of Philly, by Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News |
Why is President Bush delaying his annual physical?
Let's be clear: We know of nothing that's wrong with the president, and (stating the obvious, I think) we certainly hope his health is perfect. On the other hand, it's also a legitimate campaign issue for both Bush and Kerry (who recently released extensive medical records). Bush's failure to get the exam normally done this time of year (in August, to be exact) has fueled a lot of talk on "the internets," and understandly so.
There's been all kind of speculation this morning about things like what seemed to be weakness on one side of Bush's face in the debate last night, and even about what Bush and Kerry said to each other when it all was over. It's just that -- speculation. The campaign says he's busy -- and that's pretty hard to dispute.
There have been two well-thought and very nuanced posts recently about Bush's health that we think are worth reading. The first is from Josh Marshall over at talkingpointsmemo.com, who raises some of the key questions.
The more involved and most interesting one is from one of Philly's top bloggers and a new friend, Jim Capozzola of Rittenhouse Review. He zeroes in on the removal of a number of spider angiomas from his nose in August 2003, and wonders whether Bush could have some type of liver ailment.
Speculating about a stranger's health is always dangerous. But then, if Bush had submitted to his annual physical for 2004, we wouldn't be here speculating, would we?
Why is John Kerry not releasing his military records? GWB has sign form 180 and has released his. Does he have something to hide?
Posted by: Bill Smith at October 14, 2004 12:11 PMGive it up Bill. You're beating a dead horse. Kerry is NEVER going to that.
Posted by: Ted at October 14, 2004 12:42 PMCould this be the October surprise we've been waiting for?
Posted by: Karen at October 14, 2004 01:35 PMIf the only issue that the American public had against W is that he hasn't taken his physical this year, I'd really be worried about Kerry losing the electon, but since Bush has given us so many reasons not to vote for him, the fact that he might have a liver disease or might have suffered a stroke or might have some other ailment is really inconsequential.
Posted by: Andrew at October 14, 2004 02:28 PMRumor has it that Bush has a terminal illness. Apparantly that's why he did so poorly in the first debate. They have since better balanced his medication and you can see the results.
The details are sketchy, but he wants to keep it a secret until after the election. Then he can resign. Cheney takes over as President and Condi is put in as Vice Presient. That sets Condi to run for President in 2008.
But it's only a rumor so I don't put much stock in it.
Posted by: Ted at October 14, 2004 04:23 PMBush DID look terrible Wednesday night. The left side of his face was really droopy. Last night PBS showed some footage of GWB's gubernatorial debates, and two things really stood out: 1) He was a whole lot quicker back then, and 2) He looked a whole lot healthier.

Posted by: Bernie at October 15, 2004 10:18 AMWhere are Kerry's records? I have a simple explanation for Bush not getting his check up: he is in the middle of a tough campaign. Where is the speculation about what Kerry is hiding?

Posted by: Net-Cop at February 15, 2005 02:07 PMThe roles of a tax attorney are not that different from most other lawyers. The big difference, of course, is that the planning or litigation engaged in by a tax lawyer involves the application of federal or state tax laws and rules, which are constantly being changed by the legislature. As a result, many tax attorneys state that they enjoy their practice because no two tax help are hardly ever the same, requiring even an experienced practitioner. Although tax attorney touches on many aspects of human activity, it is a highly “intellectual” field, and a student planning to be a tax attorney should enjoy learning and working with difficult and complicated rules and applying these rules to an infinite variety of business, financial, and other tax trouble.
