The idiocy spreads. [DNC Press Release: Bush Should Stop Playing Games with Physical Fitness](http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=51240) Linking political criticism to Bush’s physical condition seems bad form to me. But that’s Howard Dean’s DNC for you. ---

I’ll be honest, I hate Bush. Well, “hate” may be a bit over the top, but “strongly dislike” is pretty accurate. I think he’s majorly fucking up our country. But good for him for exercising! Most people (even those with demanding jobs) can find the time to exercise if they really want to. Hell, my parents have full time jobs as attorneys, volunteer regularly, and still find time to go for a run every day. It’s called getting up early. So yeah, that journalist is an idiot. And unfortunately he’s making those who criticize Bush for legitimate reasons (like the aforementioned fucking up of our country) look bad by association.
