When You've Got Nothing Else

The DNC's Josh Earnest issued a press release yesterday, in response to the President Bush's excellent physical condition.

Doctors pronounced the President to be in "superior" physical condition, which media reports attributed to his rigorous, six day a week exercise routine. While President Bush has made physical fitness a personal priority, his cuts to education funding have forced schools to roll back physical education classes and his Administration's efforts to undermine Title IX sports programs have threatened thousands of women's college sports programs.

Only the DNC, which is led by the "Great Uniter" Howard Dean, could translate the largest education spending increases since the Carter administration a "cut." Also, note the reference to Title IX, which has been hampering successful mens athletic programs for years through reverse discrimination. What was good law has been hijacked by feminists over the last 10 years, making the legislation, in my opinion, a laughingstock.

Speaking of laughingstock, check this sentence:

While obesity has been declared an epidemic in this country, Bush's education policy is putting children at risk with cuts in physical education and school athletic programs.

Yes, and putting the money into other things...like math and science. This Earnest guy must be in great shape from all the cartwheels he does in this press release. Why, one might think that the president is in such good shape because he goes to P.E. class every day.

Of course, even in school, kids are no longer allowed to have fun while they exercise. Dodge ball is out, and who thinks the "tug of peace" sounds like a good time? How about fake jump-roping? exercise used to be a lot more effective when we called it "fun."

Earnest should go out and get himself a real job. This is that saddest excuse for a press release I have seen in some time. It is a bit sad that the president can't even get his physical without two bit hacks taking stupid potshots at him. Not only is Earnest's release laced with lies and half-truths, it isn't even relevent...except to show how politically bankrupt the Democratic Party has become.

In that sense, it is quite effective.
