Sounds like Valerie has some issues down south as well. Perhaps surgery for that stick is in order?

As for Lefties, most of us do NOT condone torture…how about your beloved Republicans?

What a fascinating list. I love learning about this angle to the presidents.

And not all left leaning people wish the president ill. Please don’t assume we’re all heartless to conservatives and Republicans. I wish McCain to live many, many years.

FDR’s hemorrhoids must’ve been hell, considering he had to sit all the time.

So any proof to the rumors that Bill Clinton suffered from premature ejaculation…?

”…I’m especially delighted by W.’s ailment… He deserves it.”

My, and aren’t you just a fantastic person for writing that the president of the USA ”deserves” an illness. How proud you must be of yourself that you actually go to blogs like this and write stuff like that in the comments.

Lefties really have a hard time controlling emotions, don’t they. What great people lefties make. They wish VP Cheney would die when he’s taken ill because of his heart. They even rejoice in Tony Snow’s death from cancer. All that hate in the name of…what? Politics?

Whenever I read comments like yours, I am so glad I am no longer anywhere near being a lefty.

P.S. Tell us more about Hoover’s hatchet injury. Got to be a story behind that.

Wouldn’t having constipation and diarrhea pretty much cancel each other out? Kind of like offsetting penalties?

Am I weird, or is this an awesome list? I love it. Coincidentally, I know exactly _where_ TJ was bathing when he allegedly contracted his ass boils. The natural spring in the town of Warm Springs, VA is still standing, including the very building he bathed in, and it is today renamed the Jefferson Pools in his honor. It’s great — you soak in warm, slightly sulphurous water for an hour inside a very historic 18th-century building with an open skylight, and it’s the most wonderful, relaxing thing ever.

I think, however, that it’s unlikely he actually got the boils from bathing, since the mineral waters are actually good for you and rather detoxifying.

By the way, I’m especially delighted by W.’s ailment. He’s been little more than a hemmorhoid on the ass of the American republic for the past eight years. He deserves it.
