Bush Likes to Run When it is 100 Degrees

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030807/pl_nm/bush_heat_dc_1

Those who can finish the 3-mile circuit up and down hills without stopping get a gray T-shirt marking them as a member of the president's 100-degree club.


Those who do not finish have to make do with the class photo.


Bush, who can run a mile in 7-1/2 minutes, typically leads the pack and is done long before the last stragglers cross the finish line.

[htuttle]

Reptiles get more energetic in the heat

[Fridays Child]

25. An astute observation.

[HungryLoser]

74. LMAO !! Thanks, I needed that!

[buff2]

1. Hopefully he'll have a heat stroke

:nuke:

[cherryperry]

2. hmmmm: reminds me of Jim Fixx! n/t

[Gin]

4. he is emotionally immature....kids can run longer...

shrubs don't ever get tired.

[Buns_of_Fire]

67. To be noted, of course, is the fact that Jim Fixx died of a heart attack

...while running. http://www.vop.com/previous_broadcasts/2001/april/01183.html

[Loonman]

3. Yeah, and 10 million Americans

Don't give a damn about how far, long, or in what weather Boosh runs in.

I keep hearing from the the friendly neighborhood Nazi Party(freerepublic) how "liberal" Reuters is.

I don't see it.

[trotsky]

5. President GameBoy "works" 3 hours a day.

If that's all I had to turn in at my office, in addition to getting a monthlong vacation every year, I'd be in phenomenal shape too.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. He sure isn't reviewing security reports

9/11 proved that.

[XNASA]

6. I chuckle at the mention of "The Bush Ranch".

It's not even a farm. It once was a pig farm, but now it's just a place for homespun photo-ops.

"The Bush Ranch". Sounds like a strip club.

[fob]

16. That is the most excellent thing I've read in a long time!

Someone PLEASE open a strip bar in Crawford and call it "The Bush Ranch"!!!

Kudos to xnasa!!

[The Zanti Regent]

29. Oh, I love it--The Bush Ranch---3rd rate strip club!

Oh, god, I almost busted my gut, you made me laugh so hard!

[TankLV]

50. or a brothel here in Nevada.

someone's JUST gotta use it!

[Lisa]

55. even better than "The Booby Trap"!

(the name of a popular strip joint in Windsor, Ontario)


Good call, XNASA!

[bluedog]

7. news report today

said that the heat index was in the 100's,,,,,why would one want to run and make the others run with him in that kind of dangerous heat? They advised to stay indoors and out of the heat....is this man so full of himself and thinks hes king shit, that he has the right to endanger the lives of those around him????What an ass!!!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

9. Maybe he wants to win a "Darwin award"?

:shrug:

[Chico Man]

14. Exactly. He is an idiot.

Guess it must release some of the stored drugs from his past from his spine when he gets hot enough.

[LiberalFighter]

59. If someone died? What then?

Consider college and professional football players that have died due to the heat during pre-season.

Gee... I wonder if a doctor runs with the idiot

Of course... if a doctor ran with the idiot and the they both went down then what?

[GOPisEvil]

10. Well, that just proves he's an idiot!

No one in their right mind would exercise OUTSIDE in the August Texas heat.

I do my exercise indoors, and I sweat profusely; I can't imagine running outside in the hottest part of the day.

To subject others to this stupid test of "manhood" speaks volumes...

[RamboLiberal]

11. I got a test for AWOL - Strap on a Flak vest with ceramic plates

along with the web gear and a Kevlar helmet in BDU's and combat boots. Hold a loaded M16. And then go outside and stand in the sun for several hours with your only refreshment being a bottle of warm water.

Maybe then the 3rd ID will give you a T-shirt and induct you in their club you sack of ****.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

20. Best post I read today

yep, that'll separate the men from the boys. Bravo to you.

[leftchick]

28. Priceless rmpalmer!

well said and my feelings exactly for that piece of lazy ass crap!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

70. Don't forget the exercise portion of your scenario....

...dodging random rpg's fired from concealment.

[wellstone_democrat]

76. Today's winner! Great post

that is a brilliantly written assessment of the situation. Good for you.

[Muddleoftheroad]

12. Global warming

Well, this explains everything.

[jackstraw45]

13. Dubya puts the evil in Devil....

Seen here, driving over some helpless puppies...

[Chico Man]

15. He should try running in full military gear

Then brag about it.

[Skittles]

26. THANK YOU

he's got a lot of f***ing nerve. Plus the Secret Service isn't guarding our SOLDIERS.

[robbedvoter]

17. Mebbe he should take his act in Iraq - over 100 degrees there

Are we supposed to be in awe that he's running while our soldiers are killed by "bring it on" ?
What's next? Toga party?

[Nay]

19. Why would Satan be bothered by heat?

.

[jackstraw45]

24. He certainly liked killing frogs as a youngster

and gleefully sending people to their deaths as an adult.

Loves the heat.

Drug user, alcoholic, liar, cheater, C student born with a silver spoon into his mouth into one of the most corrupt families in US history and installed as president leading death and destruction in foreign lands in search of oil profits and in suuport of polluting corporations destroying the environment?

Yup. Satan it is. Damian in the flesh.

[Skittles]

27. OOH

YOU'RE GOOD. :7

[qanda]

18. Send him to Iraq then...

He'll do great!

[Dubyawatchers]

21. He's just getting ready

He knows he gonna end up in hell with people chasing him.

[goforit]

22. Satan loves a hot fire, eh?

Well I must say this is something I can pat him on the
back for doing!!!

[meow2u3]

68. God to Bush: Just a preview of coming repulsions

In other words, if you think you like running in 100 degree heat now, think how much you'll like it when you're running in 10,000 degree heat where you're heading :evilgrin:

[0007]

23. What a guy!

I don't believe junior has all his marbles and this proves it!

[Ediacara]

30. this can actually cause brain damage

and is very dangerous....

And the republicans call him "smart?"

[Dulcinea]

47. Running in that heat is dangerous!

I've been running for 20 years & always do my exercising in the early morning in the summer. Heat illness can be fatal in some cases.

[LiberalFighter]

60. Don't marathons begin early in the morning?

For that reason.

[Lori Price CLG]

31. Is Bush is getting ready for the fires of Hell?

Thanks for not signing Kyoto, Maggot Face! That's why it's 100 degrees in Texas! :grr:

32. More proof that Shrub is really SATAN.

Or more likely, an minor agent of the Ultimate Evil.

[ElementaryPenguin]

33. LOL for that one!!!

eom

[tom_paine]

34. Der Fuehrer is a vigorous man...

Yada yada yada

Where's Joseph Goebbels when you need him?

Oh, that's right, he's been reincarnated as Karl Rove!

(just what is Rove's Birth Date -- I'm guessing it has got to be AFTER 1946)

I KNEW IT!

http://quest.cjonline.com/stories/010501/gen_0105017610.shtml

[no_labels_please]

35. I live in Dallas

and only a complete and total idiot would run outside in the heat of the day in August. I have lived in Texas all my life, am far from being a weenie, and I have the sense enough to stay indoors this time of year.

What's that they say about mad dogs and Englishmen?

Heat index OVER 100 degrees. Air quality sucky. Yeah, have fun there FASCIST.

[kutastha]

36. my bet

He gets an IV drip before and after just so he'll look like a cool guy running in such conditions. Jackass.

[Emboldened Chimp]

37. If he likes is so much

maybe he should run his dumb ass on over to Bagdad. I hear it's 110 there.

[Gman]

38. He's not the FI for nothing

the fucking idiot...

I played golf yesterday in this Texas heat. The heat index was 106 - 107. That was the last time I'll do that in this heat.

[Jack Rabbit]

39. What was that about mad dogs and Englishmen?

Bush is not an Englishman.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

40. his brain can't afford any more damage

this is really depressing.

[Warren Stuart]

41. Oh, is he back to running?

This is curious, because back in April he supposedly tore a muscle ligament. This apparently didn't bother him much, when he landed on the flight deck he didn't have a discernable limp. He trotted around Europe, no one noticed a limp. Yet within a week after falling off of the Segway, he had a limp.

He claimed it was from the muscle tear in April, all of the flunkies in the media bought that hook, line and sinker, as did a few posters here at DU.

He had to give up running. It sounded like this was a serious long term problem.

Now he is back to running, when did this start? I would say in about the time it would take someone to recover from a Falling-off-Segway injury. Maybe two weeks.

[Chico Man]

43. You're probably right

[Sheet22]

42. So that's why he keeps gettin' stupider.

What little he has is leaking out of his pores in a salty stream. Gives a new meaning to total dehydration.

[dusty64]

44. Must be hell when he's

hung over. I think its great he is stupid enough to do this, my reason could get me in trouble ....................

[susu369]

45. We're sure King Georgie's

sweat don't stink.

What a hottie.

/sarcasm off

[aquart]

46. See, his brains are already fried.

So it has no effect.

[Southsideirish]

48. Al Gore ran a marathon in 1999 - when will "junior mint" do one????

I'm older than he is and do 5 miles in hundred degrees and/or below zero. I run every day and walk the 5 same miles back home. Its not hard - anyone can do it.
It takes real discipline to do a marathon - I don't think he has it in him.

[inthecorneroverhere]

51. Ahhhh....the marathon

Walking the marathon isn't too bad. Did it in April. Wonderful to say you 'did it,' even if not by running. :D Takes about 7 or 8 hours at a decent walking pace. The Portland Marathon is one of the few walker-friendly marathons. http://www.portlandmarathon.org

I wouldn't do it in 100-degree heat, though, unless I had seriously trained in that kind of heat. The nutrition-hydration needs are totally different in 90+ degree heat than in the mild climes of 45F-80F. Acclimatisation is more than just a joke when talking about doing the marathon, even slowly in 6, 7, or 7.5 hours.

Sprinting and running 5 miles/less is a lot different than going 26.2.

[LiberalFighter]

62. He would keep slamming into the WALL

nt

[NewYorkerfromMass]

64. Chimpy ran the Houston marathon in 1993

He finished in 3:44 which is pretty good, and (unfortunately) better than Gore's 4:00ish, but not better than my own 3:39 ('96 NYC) :evilgrin:

http://www.runnersworld.com/footnotes/gwbush/20questions.html

[0007]

49. Shit!

Cheney can run a rour minutes mile.

Rour = It depends on who chasing him.

[midnight armadillo]

52. Any bets on when the ranch is sold?

How long after he's president will he sell the ranch and move to a Mansion in some exclusive suburb of Houston or someplace?

[wellstone_democrat]

77. I hear in Crawford the bet is about 4 minutes after the term

they are not happy people and Texas Monthly did a whole thing on it a few months back. No one there thinks he will stay a whole 5 minutes after his term.

A coworker has a relative out there in Waco-land who actually says he's voting Dem next time (ABB) because of the "deceit" about the ranch and the disruption to life when his majesty is in the neighborhood. I'm sure it doesn't bother most Replicants but this old rancher finds it "disgusting" that he plays "rancher" (I find it hilarious myself)

[Kool Kitty]

53. What a man!

:eyes: My hero!!! :puke:

[Lisa]

54. let's see him do it in Baghdad, 120 degrees, in chemical warfare gear?

I would pay good money to see that. Double if he carries Cheney, piggyback.

[are_we_united_yet]

56. ".....typically leads the pack and is done long "

Think it is scripted?

[rustydog]

57. We all know this! When things get too warm, Bush takes off running...

mandatory drug tests for aviators in the reserve...Bush took off running. it was just a little hot.

Ken Lay Screws thousands of employees out of retirements yet keeps his billions and stays out of jail...Bush runs away from "Kenny Boy" this was too hot.

16 words got the White House in hot water and Bush ran as long as he could then stopped running when things cooled down and took credit, I mean, blame for the lie after running from it for a month.


Bush has a history of running when things get hot.
Where I come from, people who do this are called cowards.

[BiggJawn]

58. "7 1/2 minute Mile"...

Does he keep that pace for the whole 3 miles?
That's an 8 MPH pace.

When I go for a ride, I start out really good, too. The first mile's usually done at a 17-18 MPH pace, but by the time I'm at mile 8 or so, that pace has slacked to maybe 12.5. But then it stays there for the next 8 miles.

Maybe Lance will visit him at the "Ranch" and bring an exra TT bike along...With Chimpy's skill on a Segway, it could be hillarious...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

63. apparently he used to be able to manage 6:30 miles

So for him to crank out 3 7:30's in a row would be no biggie....but that was a couple years back when he was in "shape" :eyes:
7:30 is no big deal, although for him to be doing it in 100 degrees and blazing sun is pretty stupid, even though it's only a 22 minute workout. You wouldn't want to do that for very long.

[BiggJawn]

79. He saw "Forrest Gump" too many times, right?

"And I...WAS....RUNNIN'!!!!"

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

61. I'll bet Cheney told him it's good for him

:D

[NewYorkerfromMass]

65. Oh yeah, THERE'S an expert on maintaining cardiovascular health!!!

LOL!!!! and shouldn't you have followed your subject with a :evilgrin:

[neuvocat]

66. Maybe he's trying to kill himself.

He's so into death and probably hates himself so much that maybe he'll try to do anything to put himself out of his misery.

[Boudica]

69. True 100 degree club

A list of those I have seen this week outside working:
The garbagemen making their rounds.
The construction crews putting up a house
Landscaping crews mowing grass.
UPS delivery drivers loading and unloading.
Harveting crews bringing in the crops (corn).
Crews doing major work on the roads. (Month long road resurface)
Power company crews going out on calls.
Septic company crews and the "Honey wagon" porta-potty guys.

These people have to be out there, earing a wage to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.

One other thing I saw all of this within 20 miles of the ranch. You see I live close by, not that I would call my self a neighbor.

These people are the true 100 degree club. That activity on the ranch is the sign of a waana-be.

[pfitz59]

71. I've seen presidents run.

There is the pResident.
His SS running buddies.
The "football" guy in a 4X4 limo.
The 4X4 ambulance.
The 4X4 with the uzi dudes.
And then a van full of reporters and camera men.
Shrub IS NOT hitting the trail alone!
Shit, he's got an airconditioned limo full of ice water dogging his step. Probably some guy with a porta potty in case he has to take a pResidential dump!

[Cocoa]

72. that boy sure is a running fool!

[babzilla]

73. A Kamp Krawford (tm) tradition, donchya know

Of course we all know about the 100-degree club from last year's trip to Kamp Krawford (tm). Let us revisit the same story from last August shall we? Who says the press is lazy and phoning it in, relying solely on the lastest Rove fax?

Since Sept. 11, Exerciser Bush Finds Himself on War Footing

By Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 22, 2002; Page A15

CRAWFORD, Tex., Aug. 21 -- Between war councils during his working vacation at his ranch, President Bush has been holding auditions for his "100 Degree Club," made up of staff members and Secret Service agents who can keep up with him on a hilly, three-mile run when it is 100 degrees.

He even has T-shirts and certificates.


and from 8/2/02

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2002-08-06-bush-health_x.htm

Physicians report Bush in 'unbelievable' condition
By Richard Benedetto and Steve Sternberg, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — President Bush, a 56-year-old fitness fanatic, is so competitive that his excellent health report last year evidently wasn't good enough. Bush, whose condition ranked him in the top 2% for men older than 45 last year, made it to the top 1% this year.


<snip>

At his ranch in Crawford, Texas, in the summer, he leads the "100-degree Club." Staffers and Secret Service agents who run with Bush when the temperature is 100 degrees or higher get a T-shirt and certificate of membership in the club.

The president's physical examination was done at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., near Washington.

<snip>

He later flew to his ranch in Texas, which he will use as his base of operation until about Labor Day.


See how it works? Every summer georgie gets a good check-up and as a reward he gets his month-long trip to Kamp Krawford where all of his yes-men are careful to stay a couple of paces behind him in the big 100-degree club runs, oh and did I mention, there are t-shirts and certificates too! The only question I have is what is georgies winning act for the big end of summer talent show?

[HungryLoser]

75. Maybe it's a subconcious act...

... in his mind he's running away from all the people he's screwed and lied to. The invisible mob of the unemployed and families of dead soldiers and Iraqi children are forever chasing him. Like the angry villagers scene from Frankenstein.

[wellstone_democrat]

78. Good, run faster and farther George

maybe you will outrun justice if you just keep on going. Maybe not, there is always extradition.
