This opinion piece in the LA Times takes Bush hatred to a whole new level. I personally would much rather have a president who spends a little too much time exercising and setting a good example for millions as opposed to getting hummers from white house interns and debating what to give them as thank you gifts.

The (over)exercise of power

There's no denying that the results are impressive. Bush can bench press 185 pounds five times, and, before a recent knee injury, he ran three miles at a 6-minute, 45-second pace. That's better than I could manage when I played two sports in high school. And I wasn't holding the most powerful office on Earth. Which is sort of my point: Does the leader of the free world need to attain that level of physical achievement?....

Bush's insistence that the entire populace follow his example, and that his staff join him on a Long March — er, Long Run — carries about it the faint whiff of a cult of personality. It also shows how out of touch he is. 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.

Jerk. Where did he find the time to right a worthless op-ed piece?
