Cheney to become president…briefly

President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy (have a pipe stuck up his butt) Saturday, and will transfer power to Vice President Dick Cheney during the procedure, expected to take about two and a half hours, (unless he is enjoying it, in which case it could go on longer ) the chief White House spokesman said.

Tony Snow said Friday that the procedure, during which a doctor looks for any signs of cancer ( or intellegent life or WMD's), will be carried out at Camp David, Maryland, and the president will be placed under anesthesia ( gotten HIGH on the goofer).

Bush’s last colonoscopy (pipe fitting) was in June 2002, and no normalities were found, Snow said.
