Return of THE BULGE!

Well, the bulge itself is not back -- truth be told, few have looked for it. But Seth Izen, one of the foremost bulge-spotters in the run-up to the election, draws our attention to this ABC News report on the president's health.

It seems that Fearless Leader finally got his physical, and he's doing fine -- no need for a portable defibrillator or anything. But we do learnt he following:

Previously, the president's only reported health problems have been minor: a mild high frequency hearing loss that does not affect everyday conversation, an optic condition that has the effect of farsightedness...
Yeah, well, if he's so damn farsighted, why didn't he know that Iraq would turn into a mess?

More to the point is the comment about mild high frequency hearing loss. Although everyday conversation remains unaffected, might he still wear an earpiece?

Yes, he might wear an earpiece. However,don't you think it's a tad bit too convenient for Rove & Co. to suddenly disclose a "high frequency hearing problem", knowing that many will think this solves the bulge mystery and leave it at that? It's interesting that he could take lots of time off this Summer to be at the "Western White House", aka chicken ranch, but had no time for a physical. Now, having allegedly gotten a clean bill of health, why won't they release any of the Chimp's health records?
There are many of us who are still going to be listening for a mysterious "echo", and observing all the strange little pauses every time he opens his stupid mouth.
