Two-Face isn't just a villain from Batman...

This past week as the Mainstream Media gushed and practically wrote love poems about Obama's glistening and well defined pectorals, while singing his praises for working out regularly, I was reminded of how the same press crucified Bush over his "obsession with exercise"

Former Washington Post writer Jonathan Chait famously attacked Bush three years ago in an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times headlined "The (over)exercise of power." Recounting how President Bush ran 3.5 miles a day and preached more cross-training to a federal judge, Chait fumed, "Am I the only person who finds this disturbing? ... What I mean is the fact that Bush has an obsession with exercise that borders on the creepy." Chait argued that Bush's passionate devotion to exercise was a dereliction of duty. "Does the leader of the free world need to attain that level of physical achievement?" he jeered. "It's nice for Bush that he can take an hour or two out of every day to run, bike or pump iron. Unfortunately, most of us have more demanding jobs than he does."

The press even used Bush's exercise regime as his excuse to avoid sitting down at a table and talking with that "model of decorum" Cindy Sheehan. When Sheehan was just down the road from Bush's Crawford, TX ranch, she said, "Bush should take fewer bike rides to have more time to focus on the 'the nation's work." Aren't you glad we have this loon Cindy Sheehan around to tell us these things?

The Liberal Media has made it easier for us in Middle America to understand:

Fit Republican president = Selfish, indulgent, creepy fascist.

Fit Democratic president = Disciplined, health-conscious Adonis role model.
