Donuts and ribs

Don't be surprised if fitness freak President Bush starts showing up at Dunkin' Donuts. Seems the prez thinks what people like about him over Sen. John Kerry is his ability to be one of them, and his staff is figuring out ways to show that off. So they want to steer the campaigning prez to cafes, gas stations, and, of course, barbecue joints. "He wants direct contact with people," says a Bushie. "We don't have to prove he's a strong leader. Voters already know that. We have to prove he 'gets it,' that he understands what everyday Americans are going through." Easier said than done. Turns out the Secret Service doesn't want Bush mixing it up and providing a fat target for enemies. Then there's the presidential belly--every honey-dipped donut or rack of ribs Bush eats translates into more time on the treadmill to deflate the campaign spare tire.

1. Except, you have to sign a loyalty oath to enter that donut shop.

What good is it going to do him if the only people he's allowed to talk to already support him?

5. the coward in chief will go to a dunking donuts or ...

to any other ordinary people's spot without his glass bubble? will people be stripped searched before he enters? will they line the parking lot with tanks to let no one go in or out while he is there? will he travel with a taster who will sip his coffee and taste his food before he does ... just to make sure no one is trying to poison the petulant L'Enfant.}(
