Bush butt probed, Cheney in charge

(AXcess News) Washington – A shudder could be felt across Capitol Hill Friday after news came out that President Bush would be having his butt checked out which meant that while Bush was going through the colonoscopy, Vice President Dick Cheney would be in charge of the nation.

“It’s a chilling thought,” one passerby told AXcess News when asked if they were concerned over Cheney’s short-term rule of the White House.  Press Secretary Tony Snow told reporters this morning that President Bush would be going to Camp David, MD where doctors were going to perform what Snow termed a “routine examination” of the President’s posterior.

Bush last underwent colorectal cancer surveillance on June 29, 2002.  At the time, the only thing doctors found was an attitude, which medical experts say is not cancerous though his administration has become quite malignant in their support of the President’s plan to keep U.S. troops in Iraq.

Sometimes you spot the oddest headlines when looking at Google News. Amusing as this is, it’s pretty juvenile for a site that cites professional journo creds:

AXcess News is a member of the Online News Association (ONA). The Association is made up of more than 600 professional members who gather and produce news for the Internet.

AXcess News subscribes to the Society of Professional Journalists code of ethics. It is the mission of the Society of Professional Journalists to stimulate high standards and ethical behavior in the practice of journalism.

Several snaps up for the snark, one or two snaps down for the bad puns. Still, good for a laugh.
