The Unbearable Triteness of Being Dubya Bush: Talk article inadvertently reveals GW Shrub to be a thoughtless, mean-spirited potty mouth
By Tamara Baker

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, Aug. 12, 1999 --
You'd never know this from reading Maureen Dowd or listening to Cokie Roberts, but there was another political article in Talk magazine: in fact, it's so important that it shares cover space with Hillary and Gwyneth Paltrow.

I refer, of course, to GOP kahuna Tucker Carlson's piece on George W. Bush, the man who would be President.

In all the reams of commentary on this first issue of Talk, as of this writing (08/11/99) I have so far encounted just one (1) piece, in the New York Daily News, that mentions the Bush article.

I strongly suspect that this is because the Talk article, even though it is crafted by a top Republican spinmeister, shows the Shrub to be so woefully unsuited for the Presidency that he makes Dan Quayle look good. (And Quayle is the man whom GOP strategist Kevin Phillips has called Daddy Bush's anti-impeachment insurance: No one would dare deep-six George Herbert Walker Bush over his Iran-Contra role if it meant that Danny would have gotten his hands on the launch codes.)

Here are some particulary interesting "fun facts:" Bush drops the F-Bomb, our favorite four-letter word, three times in on-the-record conversation in the first three pages.

Read that last sentence over again.

Now, try to imagine what the press would do if Hillary or Bill so much as said "dammit" in public.

A staffer is also quoted on Shrub's unthinkingly Cartmanesque potty-mouth, saying that "he used to say f*** a lot more before this all started". (No wonder they never let Shrub out unsupervised: He needs more minding than Reagan.)

This is reminiscent of the April 9, 1999, Salon article wherein was printed his response to a question asked him by David Fink, associate editor for the Hartford Courant, at the 1988 Republican Convention. Fink asked him (on-the-record, mind you) what he and his father talked about when they were together. Young Shrub's one-word answer: "Pu**y," brought to mind both the stories of Shrub's alleged extramarital excursions and his Poppy's singularly odd relationship with Jennifer Fitzgerald. (Check out http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/04/09/bush/index1.html and you'll what I mean.)
