Sweet Jesus, the news is some kind of slow today. So here’s your latest installment in our Presidential Candidate Physique Watch: Barack Obama has a sore hip from playing basketball in foreign lands! He went to the doctor in Chicago and got an X-ray. Is Obama some sort of secret old person?
He apparently told a pool reporter “it’s all good” after his doctor’s visit, so his hip isn’t broken or anything. This is literally the most exciting news we have read in four hours.
Obama sees doctor for sore hip [Political Ticker]
Who’d a thought the first candidate to see his doc about his hip would be our hopeful unicorn?
This is not osteoporosis we can believe in.
God damn hippie.
T’weren’t sore from B-ball, buddy.
After a week away from home, Hopey gave Michelle a marathon mounting.
She also went to the doc, to seek a cure for the funny way she’s been walking since.
Lara Logan can’t do it all, y’know.
…why doesn’t he rub some hope on it?
Next step is a Medic Alert(TM) bracelet.
The x-ray machine would probably explode if it ever got a gander at McMaverick’s hip….yes, because it’s OLD & crackly but it’s also got to be pretty damn gross to look at.
You know what would be cool? If we could settle the presidential elections with a game of “one-on-one.” I’d bet on Barry.
At least his hips haven’t been replaced.
AngryBlakGuy: Icy Hope? They even sell it in patch, sleeve, cream stick, or gel form.
eyesfriedopen: I was going to say “That’s not hip we can believe in” but you beat me to it.
He’s going to turn 47 in a few days. Clearly, this is the beginning of the end. He is going to be using a walker by September.
Canuckledragger: Yes, one of those hard-to-explain sex-related injuries. You always wonder how many of those “strained groin muscles” in baseball players are from outside work outs or “indoor work outs”.
Is “playing basketball in foreign lands” Campaign Speak for “banging that German blint in the gym harder than the Red Army banged Berlin in 1945″?
Just asking.
Jawol!
He’s just saying he hurt his hip to appease the Florida voters. What next? He’s panicking because his Metamucil is running low?
This is undoubtedly a play for the over 70 set, but still, stigmata can hurt.
Doglessliberal: They come from “sliding into home.”
Canuckledragger: you got that right, boo.
Another example of The Audacity of Hip.
eyesfriedopen: That’s the most prepososteoporosis thing I’ve ever heard.
The sweet ache left from a vetting meeting with Larry Craig.
When did this happen? Was it when he was playing basketball with the troops that he wasn’t visiting?
In related news, John McCain is suffering from lactose intolerance from the supermarket cheese aisle he wasn’t visiting in Columbus.
It would definitely change things if he got a titanium hip.
At least that way, it would give the TSA a better excuse when they detain him at airports for a full cavity search.
Neilist: exactly what I thought! However I also think he took care of business at home
Doglessliberal: I want to thank Obama for reaching out to us other mid-40-year-olds with his “hey-this-used-to-not-hurt-so-much-ness”. It’s nice to have a candidate who can feel my pain.
No no, he’s a secret Muslim; the other guy is secretly old.
keepinitrealyo: It’s not much of a secret.
I only have one burning question: can I kiss it and make it better?
