The Fart President

Nice scoop here for U.S. News's Paul Bedard--but be sure to read Melissa McEwan's take on AlterNet, which gets into the deeper psychology of the issue (seriously).

Anyway, here's the story. Note the odd reference to Bush's paranoia around women:

He loves to cuss, gets a jolly when a mountain biker wipes out trying to keep up with him, and now we're learning that the first frat boy loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip when explaining why President Bush is paranoid around women, always worried about his behavior. But he's still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can't get enough of fart jokes. He's also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides....

That's the Leader of the Free World, people.

How is "can't get enough of fart jokes" earthy?? I mean, I would have described it as...immature...it's 6 year olds that are obsessed with poo and fart jokes.

I saw this on the blogs I read earlier. Frightening, though oddly hard to take seriously. Glad to see a blogger of your stature report on it. *grin*

And to think Howard Stern gave him such a hard time. If this info was released in 2004, Stern may have given the bible thumper in chief an easier time, and maybe W could have taken Pennsylvania.

Not that different from Ted Kennedy hanging out after hours with bible-thumping Republicans. Relationships sometimes trump party affiliations, even today.
