Disclaimer

CNN notes that Bush has been proclaimed physically "fit for duty" after a physical. It leaves out the disclaimer that I can only presume was given by the examining physicians:

WARNING

The within opinion is based purely on a physical examination of the subject. The phrase "fit for duty" refers only to the capacity of the subject's body to withstand the remainder of the expected term of office, absent external shocks or successful grenade throws. We emphasize our opinion that subject should avoid bicycles, Segways and pretzels to the extent possible.

This opinion further makes no comment on the subject's mental capacity to engage in the duties required of his office, nor on any mental health concerns raised by the scope of the subject's work.

In particular, we suggest that the following potential concerns be closely monitored:

(1) subject's stress level, due to past comments about the difficulty of his work and due to recent polling numbers suggesting mutual dissatisfaction between subject and his employers; and,

(2) subject's level of mental activity, due to past difficulty with language.

This opinion in no way warrants the subject's fitness to continue should he cease to take vacations of the length historically taken. Nor does it warrant that subject is fit for duty for any period extending beyond his expected term of office, due to a declaration of martial law or any other reason.
