IS THIS REALLY A NEWSSTORY (AP has a slow newsday???) Bush to Be Sedated for Colonoscopy

I guess it shows what a circumspect person I am...I just about freaked
when I heard NBC's Andrea Mitchell say talk about an examination of President Reagan's
colon and rectum.

Well, I guess if we get up-close description of one President's "staff of power",
we're going to hear about every President's body parts.

Yeah, I think it's a news story. I would rather know than not know. And, the President's procedure will probably get a great deal of publicity for the prevention of colon cancer. Maybe we'll never hear from Katie Colonic again.

This was not as bad as Johnson's TV appearance after his operation and lifting his shirt and showing off his big scar. Anyway, this is a news story, given the number of men with colon cancer these days. If there's a chance he might have cancer, should we not know about the exam?
