George W. Bush ageless?

After the State of the Union speech, our local paper ran a series of pictures of President Bush taken at each of his seven SoTU speeches. We poured over them at work and couldn't see any discernible aging. The Dorian Gray comments were made. Some of us think that Bush actually looks younger now than he did when he first took office.

There are only a few possible explanations for this.

1. He's hopped up on human growth hormone and bouncing back from those gut-wrenching, make-your-hair-fall-out decisions faster than a Tour de France rider leading the pack through the Alps.
   
2. He's more oblivious to the implications of his decisions than even his worst critics have charged.
3. He has a steely inner strength, ice water for blood, and nearly comatose central nervous system he developed through years and years of flying Texas Air National Guard combat missions over the enemy infested skies of Lubbock (at least when he showed up).

On the other hand, his days in the White House haven't been so kind to Barney. It's almost like he's aged seven years for every year Bush has been in office.

Very sad.
