you really must see this . . . Election of the Fittesthttp://nationalreview.com/jgraham/graham200405240834.asp(snip)
Which is why John Kerry will lose.
Despite his campaign's frantic efforts to portray Kerry as the quintessential American jock, the candidate's selection of sports — snowboarding, windsurfing, ice hockey — does nothing to bolster that image. Windsurfing is something the typical American may do for an hour on a two-week vacation at Myrtle Beach; you don't build a fitness program around it.
Conversely, George W. Bush is an athlete, albeit an adult-onset one. He runs 6-minute miles, bench-press 200 pounds, chops wood out on the ranch. Heck, he's been on the cover of "Runner's World." Unlike Kerry's, the president's workouts are actual periods of elevated heart rate and significant exertion, not orchestrated photo ops. The president doesn't exercise for the benefit of the press corps.
note: he was a fucking cheerleader!!!(snip)
Our president — the true jock — allowed himself to be photographed soon after his spill, unashamed of the scrapes on his face. Bush does fall, just like Kerry, but the president does so with class. And whatever you think of Bush's policies, there's no arguing with 14.5-percent body fat.
