ABC jumps the shark on overweight Bush

Is the President a fatty?

Yes, says ABC News. In one of their special health reports they point out that George Bush is four pounds overweight according to the government's ridiculous Body-Mass Index (BMI).

If ABC had similar coverage of Bill Clinton's physique, we don't remember it.

Reporter Felicia Stoler, who bills herself as with the ABC News "Medical Unit" - no doubt they perform rescues when they aren't rolling videotape - gives us a few other examples of "overweight" slobs who undoubtedly should be written off as role models for America's youth: Jack LaLanne, famous fitness guru; Ah-nuld Swarzenegger, famous body builder, actor and guvohrnator of California; and Shaquille O'Neal, who apparently has tried to play professional basketball.

When ABC posts pix of Al Gore and Teddy Kennedy and gives us their BMI scores, then we'll agree that they've jumped back over the shark.
