The DNC has issued a press release using President Bush's excellent results from his annual physical as an opportunity to criticize him for his policies. The Anchoress gave the DNC a good lesson in what an appropriate response would have been.
Instead of showing maturity as The Anchoress suggested, the DNC claims that the president's "personal habits indicate that physical fitness is not just fun and games for him. Don't our kids deserve the same opportunities to be physically fit? President Bush should stop running from his responsibility and make sure that all American children have access to physical fitness programs."
Again, the DNC doesn't stop to think about the stupidity of their statement. That's because the president doesn't rely on a government program to get fit. He gets off his ass and works out six days a week. That means that all these women and children already have exactly the same opportunities to be physically fit that President Bush does.
Now really DNC, how many people have been whining to you that they would be physically fit if only there was a government program that would fund their (lack of) effort? There was a recent time in this country when kids played sports outside instead of sitting in front of a Playstation simulating sports.
The DNC also shows how little they respect they have for women in their press release. In the press release they not that unreturned surveys of women asking about interest in college sports are assumed to be an indication of no interest. Seems reasonable. But the DNC seems to think this is some form of discrimination. They believe that women can't be trusted to return the survey if they actually are interested so we can't just assume that they aren't interested if they don't bother to return the survey. The nanny state at its finest. They know the women are interested even when the women aren't.
But the DNC may have a point overall. Admittedly I'm a little overweight now. If only Honeybun would understand, it's not my lack of motivation. It's President Bush's lack of funding my physical fitness. The DNC understands that I'm not responsible for getting outside and doing some physical activity. I can't get on the excercise bike in the basement without a government grant. Come on Honeybun, don't blame me. Blame the President. It'll make us both feel better. Right?
It's like having the DNC around so I can blame my faults on the government. Yep, life is good.
