Washington - US President George W Bush will undergo a colonoscopy on Saturday as part of a routine examination, the White House said.
Vice President Dick Cheney will assume power because Bush will be under anaesthesia during the procedure at the Camp David presidential retreat outside Washington, the White House said.
Bush last underwent a colonoscopy in June 2002 and his doctors recommend he receive one every five years to check for colorectal cancer. Bush has not had any symptoms, White House spokesman Tony Snow said.
Doctors removed polyps, which can be a precursor to cancer, from Bush before he became president. None were found in the 2002 examination that lasted two-and a-half hours.
Snow said there is a 'reasonable chance' polyps will be found this time given Bush's age and history.
'If so, they'll be removed and evaluated microscopically,' Snow said.

I'm afraid your right
I want to be President, so everyone will know when I'm to have a colonoscopy.
Perhaps they can also give him a brain transplant.
What's scary is who's in charge when Bush is out.
About time they pull out the stick.
Apparently they will have no problem with the procedure...I've heard is a very big a-hole.
Who really cares? None one needs to know if Bush is getting a colonoscopy. God forbid they find something, and it results in Buckshot Cheney taking power. Can you say 'Mass Nuclear War'?
Is it considered treason to hope he never wakes up or dies during the procedure? I mean, you know, when they find his head, they make think its a tumor and remove it...
Not that we'd be better off with Cheney 'officially' at the helm.
Finally! President Bush does something I agree with!
So nice that Camp David has the specialized equipment that they can perform this procedure while our President is on yet another outing. I had this procedure done a couple years ago, it only took 1/2 hour. Guess there is a difference between the type of medical care available to top government officials. God help us! Cheney is in charge for 2.5 hours! Does that mean that the Speaker of the House is the VP. If so maybe she can have the reports which are supposed to be sent to the Archives sent to the Archives.
Stupid left wing retards.
...that's where they'll find all the WMDs he says countries are hiding from us.
For a short time, our president will not be full of s..t.
Smoothstr they already gave him a monkey brain implant...
bush is a clueless scumbag who is fucking up the entire planet.Hes a tirent and should be brought to justice for crimes against humanity..
You guys are HYSTERICAL ! I had a good laugh reading these comments...
Dick Cheeney authorizes oil drilling in Moscow, and sells Alaska to the newly refurbished Enron for energy exploration...
The search for weapons of mass destruction continues..........
Its pretty obvious why this story was posted. We have way too many wack jobs running the press these days. Time for us to outsource our media.
hey Donald McButter...maybe they will use your Mom's lips Mrs McButter to prepare the colon.
Reading all of these posts from the left wing nut sacks. Take Al Gores' balls out of your mouth.
They'll be looking for nice Mr Tony Blair.
I hope it goes horribly wrong.
His rotted colon could engulf all the single-digit IQ neanderthals who still support him.
Ya know... if you could charge admission to be to one to finally stuff something up his butt instead of ours, you could be richer than Gates.
I love it . . . I'm surprised that you could remove Lil' Dick Cheney's shriveled scrot out of your mouth long enough to write your comment. But, you know, I bet you could still find a few people in Germany that still support Hitler. History will show you as the misguided human fecal deposit that you are!
Seig Heil!
Why are you guys bashing one of the most influential men of the millenium. God Bless America!!!!

You guys are too funny, I've bookmarked this now
I realize this is nothing more than a cheap shot forum, but, in the spirit of the thing, why don't they just shove Dick up there? On the theory that turnabout is fair play. After all, what kind of Texan starts his day without a Dick up his butt?
You know, though, making fun of an asshole (clinical term, not the metaphor)is not the same as putting an asshole (clinical not metaphorical again) back in it's place. We have suffered through twenty years of the gentrification of white, southern scum, to the point where this Connecticut Yankee pretends to be one to get elected. It's time to finish what General Sherman started.
We knew he was an _ _ _hole, this just proves it. Maybe this will clean his mind and let him do some soul searching.
no wonder...they say if you want to hide from the police...hide in the police station....no wonder Bin Laden couldn't be found.
THEY FOUND BID LADEN.....BUSH RELEIVED OF SEARCH FOR BIN LADEN...FOUND IN COLON.
Cheney will destroy the world. He might just press the red trigger.

Americans are bad because my media tells me so. we have a long history of peace and they war war-mongers. We must give our sovereignty over to the EU because that will help us to avoid American hegemony. So what if their economy is bigger then the next 5 combined, they have no metric system, therefore they are not as advanced. It is NOT JEALOUSY THAT MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY! NO NO NEIN NO! STOP SAYING WE ARE JEALOUS! You make me so mad when you say that I forgot to ask for help in getting a green card to work in the USA.
So yes, bush had a colonoscopy, that should make up for the TRILLIONS of people that he has murdered! The googolplex of innocents that he has personally murdered! America is evil! Please let me move to Malibu! I AM NOT JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
There has been a consistent pattern in the Administration’s actions: laws that are designed to promote public access to information have been undermined, while laws that authorize the government to withhold information or to operate in secret have repeatedly been expanded. The cumulative result is an unprecedented assault on the principle of open government.
But look, they are now making up for it with a public colonoscopy.

Hitler? LOL. Please, make me laugh again, I beg of you. Get off of those left wing nut sites for a minute or two and walk outside and enjoy our wonderful country. After the Democrats take office and a mushroom cloud appears over the USA, I hope then we will drop all of our petty arguments. Its pretty obvious that appeasement is what liberals are after and our enemies can't wait to be appeased.
I think it's time to review your history.
Appeasement: The policy of granting concessions to potential enemies to maintain peace.
Case Study one: Adolf Hitler, Before WWII 1938.
The British and French governments followed a policy of appeasement in order to avoid military confrontation after the high cost of the First World War. This policy culminated in the Munich Agreement in 1938, which would give the Sudetenland to Germany in exchange for Germany making no further territorial claims in Europe.
Perhaps while they are in there, they may find where Osama Bin Laden is hiding. They may also find Sadam's cache of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
I agree completely that they will find his head in there
My husband gets a regular colonoscopy twice a year because he had cancer. This did not make the news headlines. The next time he goes perhaps you can put it on your front page.
A little late for a brain scan...
As an aside: The 'U' in USA stands for the term, United. Only... we're not united are we, y'all? You keep trying to put it to us, and we, seemingly, are equally determined to put it back to you. Since the intensity of this process only seems to grow and grow, let's stop all this foolish chatter and just hook up outside your trailers and settle our differences? Imagine for a moment that the President's anus could speak (no that hard, is it?) it might say, 'this is going to end badly.'
...to seem vulnerable and to pretend like they could never have secrets from us.
Cheney, Rumsfeld and Scalia all conspired to shut down FOIA during the 70's when they worked for Ford. They got their wish when Bush came in and there has been unprecedented secrecy.
Why even bother to have the pretense of voting when the people are denied from seeing where they are choosing to go?
Just look at the retards here who think that Bush has done anything but squander the good will of other nations, and fuel the Al-Queda mass movement!
He's making enemies faster than he can kill them.
I hope that Mr Bush doctor is an Illegal Alien.
Ted Kennedy and John McCain will be Bush nurses.
now bush's knuckles are white from hanging onto the toilet seat while that 'Nitro-lax' does it's work. Yipie eye yo K-Y George.
in the time it takes chaney will start war with canada
rather go hunting with dick cheney than go riding in a car with kennedy
You guys are hysterical.
to bunghole bush
The doctors are working on the wrong end, he needs a lobotomy. Ooppps, have to have a brain first.
Lets hope that the Illegal Alien that Bush gets for his Doctor just jumped over the fence.
They can scope his butt all they want (and all he wants too), but it will do little to slow the volume of crap coming out of his mouth.
Samples to be removed from Bush's bum and examined for signs of... er, sentience would be good.
i am glad i am not the only one that gets the irony of this situation. to be fair though, someone should stand in front of him telling lies as the thing goes in just so he gets the feeling of what he is doing to us.
They will find Cheney up there!
How is this happening at Camp David? Do they have a medical procedure room there?
This has become a Bush ass appreciation thread.
He actually has an ass and colon? I thought from his behavior that he was some improperly programmed, no soul, no emotions, glitch-ridden android! Boy was I wrong.
android? no. cheney puppet? yes.
The only thing that could be worse than Bush as president is Cheney. As much as I dislike Bush, Id take a bullet for him just so Cheney would never be president.
Go hunting with Cheney sometime and you might get your wish. :)
you suppose bush is conducting business while he's sitting on the toilet? I know from experience he's shitting his guts out right about now. Does his toilet paper say 'US Constitution' on it? How will he ever be the same not being full of shit??
Cheney steps up to bat as Bush spreads cheeks
He's the one who has the procedure and yet it's me who feels violated? Do you suppose a metal tube with jaws and a light on it up his butt is what made Atlas shrug?
What the doctors will find up his butt.
a. his head
b. Karl Rove
c. the conservative leadership
d. a diamond
What they won't find? Those pesky Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Beltway Greg
I cannot wait for Jon Stewart to get to work with this one.
Obviously, the doctors are either examining the wrong end, or else that's where his head naturally is. The exam will take more time than usual, as some impacted GOP diehards will have to be enema'd out first.
The doctors suspected a hemorrhoid, but it was just Boehner getting position for a statement.
The doctor will have no problem with the flatulence, as that's all Bush has produced for the past 7 years, and they're used to it.
The trick is telling when he actually comes out of the anaesthesia - he generally acts that way, since unconsciousness is his natural state.
John Stewart is gonna have a blast with this one. I can't wait.
Can I nominate Jack Kevorkian to do the procedure?
Well, this is certainly going to be the 'butt' of many jokes to come.
You Fools!
Make this day on your calendars as I have seen into the future and here's how it plays...begin Darth Vader sound track.
1. Cheney assumes presidential powers while Bush is 'out of it'.
2. Cheney then signs a whole host of presidential pardons, secret executive orders, and backroom deals the real president would never, could never do.
3. Some of these pardons and executive orders are retro-active for the president, CIA, FEMA, Pentagon, Rummy et al.
4. Bush then re-assumes power without knowing (wink wink) what Cheney did while he was 'out of it'.
If no one can see what this is upfront god help you. Take this date and we'll see you again here in 2010 when it all comes to pass...o.k enough with the Vader music my head hurts.
I want his health insurance plan...
Latest intelligence says they now know where the weapons of mass destruction could be hiding. Because the U.N. inspectors could not find any WMD's in Iraq, they will be sending a team of inspectors to GW's rear. If any WMD's are found, the military plans on a surge to clean out those WMD's, but we must wait until January to be sure the surge worked, or maybe March???
I still see that the looser president has a few supporters out there... What a very sad group of people, can't you see we are wasting lives and money on a war that even the right is starting to say it is a failure. Yet when the senate last week voted, they all jumped back to supporting Bush, 'it became politics, not what is right or wrong for our country.' This will go down good in the history books, as the Reps fought this war not to prove they were right, but to prove they had bigger balls than the Dems...
It.s Henry Kissinger up there fossiking for blood diamonds.
WOW, just how famous would the DOC be if he snapped a picture of it and posted it on U.TUBE
So, while they're looking in the ass*ole's assh*ole, the a**hole of all ass*ole's will be President?
