JOGGED MEMORIES (via Brian Boys):

Claim: Photograph shows President Bush jogging with a serviceman who lost a leg in Afghanistan. (Snopes.com)

Attached is a picture of Mike McNaughton. He stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan Christmas 2002. President Bush came to visit the wounded in the hospital. He told Mike that when he could run a mile, that they would go on a run together. True to his word, he called Mike every month or so to see how he was doing. Well, last week they went on the run, 1 mile with the president. Not something you'll see in the news, but seeing the president taking the time to say thank you to the wounded and to give hope to one of my best friends was one of the greatest/best things I have seen in my life. It almost sounds like a corny email chain letter, but God bless him.

Which reminded us of two stories: first, this one about the President; and then the videotape that Drudge got ahold of during the Impeachment with a post-jog Bill Clinton escorting a woman back to the Lewinsky lair portion of the Oval Office.
