Jan 14, 2002 · WASHINGTON — President Bush briefly lost consciousness Sunday after he choked on a pretzel while watching a football game -

Jan 14, 2002 · President George W. Bush set off a White House scare on Sunday when he fell off a sofa after passing out briefly from having choked on a pretzel -

President George Bush choked on a pretzel and fainted onto the floor. He cut his face and bruised his lip in the fall, but the White House doctor, Richard Tubb, said ...he was fine now - He apparently did not swallow his food properly, which slowed down his heart rate and caused him to faint and fall off his sofa.

ROFLMAO -

and I don't recall a single republican questioning his health or stamina to run for re-election in 1984 -- even though he had been found to have a number of intestinal polyps by then and ended up having surgery to remove a cancerous polyp just six months after being inaugurated for his second term. Between 1981 and 1984, I believe Reagan had only one general physical. For man in his 70s.

That double standard again because she is a woman. I think people are really starting to question it. And she may end up with a lot of sympathy for working like hell, despite being sick and getting criticized for it.

A similar thing happened in 2008 right before the new hampshire primary. She cried a little and the press said that wasnt allowed. There ended up being a huge backlash against the media for that
