He's such a man. He's such a big, strong man.

Bush's approval ratings are plunging, oil prices are soaring, and belief that the US is winning the War On Terror is currently about on par with a belief in The Great Pumpkin. So...here's the latest from the media on how massively huge President Bigman Notstupid's jock is. He can crush liberals into tiny powder between his mighty fingers!

USA Today reports:

the truth about the Biker-in-Chief is that the man can really ride. Over the course of a two-hour Tour de Crawford, Bush humbled every rider in Peloton One with a strong and steady pace over scorching hot paved roads, muddy creek crossings, energy-sapping tall grass and steep climbs on loose and crumbling rock.

And The Economist concludes:

enthusiasm for sport can be a ticket to Mr Bush's inner circle...Condoleeza Rice "works out with the president and spends time at Camp David watching baseball and football on television...a poor physique can test the president's patience. When Mr Bush sacked Larry Lindsey, his portly economic adviser during his first term, he apparently complained in private about his failure to exercise.

Well, it's not like Mr. Bush needed to sweat his economic adviser--his policies are doing great with the public! And, once again: FDR was in a wheelchair and won WWII.
