"Vice President Dick Cheney will take over as president on Saturday — but only temporarily, White House officials say — while President Bush undergoes anesthesia during routine screening for colon cancer. The White House press secretary, Tony Snow, said Friday that Mr. Bush would invoke his authority under the 25th Amendment of the Constitution to transfer his presidential powers temporarily to Mr. Cheney during the colonoscopy. Snow also confirmed that a secondary goal of the colonoscopy procedure was to detect "exactly how full of shit" Mr. Bush really is.*" [New York Times]*Ok, so I added the last sentence...I couldn't help myself!
