I could have went my whole life without learning that Bush...

[Wetzelbill]

thinks that it is funny to rip farts in front of his young aides when they first meet him.

Sure, in the back of my mind I knew the guy did stuff like that. He's a clown, that's no secret. He made an ass out of himself at the G-8 this year, chewing his cud while talking to Blair, groping Angela Merkel. He's widely considered to be a rube.

However, the thought of the leader of the free world, blatantly farting and thinking it is funny is so trashy. It offends my sensibilities, and believe me, I do not have a whole lot of those.

Sure, it isn't illegal or anything, nobody is physically injured, but it is telling of just what kind of man Bush is. Why? Because it is offensive and disrespectful, especially when you consider the guy has a fairly important job right now. If I walked in and met someone I was supposed to work with for the first time and they did that, I would feel disrespected and my opinion of them would sink like an anchor.

And, isn't this the guy who was supposed to be the "grown up" finally put in charge?

This latest "revelation" only cements the obvious.

Bush has never been good at anything before. He's spoiled, childish, insecure and incurious. He's never shown any maturity or a capacity for leadership. At best he's a class clown. At best.

What ever made anybody think this guy would be anything other than a disaster as President?

[Kierkegaard]

1. Hmmm...

"What ever made anybody think this guy would be anything other than a disaster as President?" His party affiliation. If he were a Democrat, he would be working at McDonald's right now.

[Kikosexy2]

2. Bush was right...

WMDs had been found...right up his ass..

[bananarepublican]

59. Perhaps Bush has mellowed since his days of blowing up frogs?

Let's face it, 'letting one rip' is not as bad as blowing up a harmless, innocent, defenseless, living thing, is it? ...

... Bu! Then there's the so called 'WOT'? 'War on Terror', that is.

[Punkingal]

3. I agree with you...

When I first heard about this, my first reaction was this is just too much. We know he has no dignity and no class, but this story just about says it all. He has the maturity of a 10-year-old. It is just too absurd, and this is the guy the media LIKED, as opposed to Al Gore, and they still give him a free pass all the time. It's disgusting.

[glitch]

45. Tells us all we need to know about the people who think he's charming

doesn't it?

[kimmerspixelated]

4. But it's

How he farts around with the country and the world that really bothers me.

[Deja Q]

5. Maybe he's an ardent fan of "Family Guy"?

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

24. hey I am and no way do I act like that

guy does. :)

[samdogmom]

6. You're right!

Thank god I never thought he'd be anything more than a disaster! Our country DESERVES AND SHOULD HAVE someone much better than this!

[liberal N proud]

7. I can see it now...

bu$h, KKKarl and Dick all sitting in the oval lighting farts.

[knowbody0]

8. can you imagine the interns?

they work pretty hard to get to the WH. I like what Jesse James said: "he's a Dickhead. the boss's son is always a dickhead"

[Wetzelbill]

11. I bet they come in thinking this guy is God

worshipping him in their little Stepford Right-Wing ways, and then they finally get to meet the King of Kings and he practically shits himself in front of them.

That has got to be a major let down. :)

[Lisa]

48. if it's any consolation, imagine the tell-all books hitting the stands ...

If he's that uninhibited in front of low-level rookies, just imagine the kinds of antics we'll be reading about in a few years. I don't think that people will feel any obligation to be loyal to someone who is so disrespectful to them.

[Marr]

9. But he's read 60 books this year alone!

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/060817/17bushbooks.htm

He's just... uh... making everyone THINK he's stupid so he can umm... uh... outmaneuver them! Yeah!

[Wetzelbill]

16. ha! I saw that

I like the list. Shakespeare etc.

No effing way. I love literature, I read all the time and have way more free time than that guy, so I'm calling BS on that one.

It's like when Bush supposedly read the Dean Acheson bio, yet when asked about it in a debate with McCain he couldn't come up with anything about Acheson, the Marshall plan etc. :)

[Marr]

25. It's such a ridiculous claim.

The idea that GW Bush- who couldn't even be bothered to read the Acheson book that he claimed to be reading for months (he carried that f'ing book around for a couple of months on the campaign trail, IIRC)- has read 60 books this year... it's just laughable. And not just any old books, but books on poetry and philosphy and literature.

So ridiculous. Bush couldn't read 60 comic books in a year.

[SammyWinstonJack]

47. I'd be happy if he would just read his PDBs especially the one of

Aug 6th, 2001 and act accordingly, not just in his interests. If he is just making us think he is stupid, he's doing a real good job of it. I think he's dumber than a door knob. :dunce:

[Initech]

10. Wait, he rips farts in front of aides and thinks it's funny? Is he 8?

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Clinton got 8. This guy isn't mature enough to get past farting.

[Initech]

44. OK, maybe he's more like 6.

Yeah, that seems about right!

[beam me up scottie]

50. !

:rofl:

[Hubert Flottz]

12. The kind of guy who would walk right up to the Pope and say...

Pull my finger!

Next he'll be mooning someone!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. It's worse than that.

He farts in front of aides because he can. He's showing he's the Alpha Dog by doing something incredibly rude that the other person couldn't do in front of him. Because he's the president he can get away with being the farter, but others can only be the fartees. A mere aide wouldn't dare let one go and laugh in front of the president. It's more than being crass and crude; it's a deliberate put-down of the unfortunate fartee.

Which further proves he's an industrial-strength douchebag.

[Wetzelbill]

20. oh yeah

that's why I say it is disrespectful, I thought about going more into what you just said about it being a bullying tactic etc, I just didn't want to make the post too long. Good point though. Right on.

[gkhouston]

21. that's exactly why he does it. And I'll bet that the lower his poll

numbers drop, the more obnoxious he becomes to his unfortunate underlings. I wouldn't be a * minion for love nor money. The folks around here who call him "Little Boots" haven't aimed wide of the mark.

[Wetzelbill]

22. I heard he is

notoriously hard on his young staffers and aides. He gets short-tempered and bullying when things get a little tough. Although, I am sure that some crayons and a juicebox right after naptime fixes him right up. :)

[City Lights]

26. "The farter."

:rofl:

He's called himself the war president and the decider, but the farter is really so much more fitting, don'cha think?

[beam me up scottie]

52. Yeah, that one should stick.

And to more than his Barney underoos.

[lonestarnot]

60. "The fartin' Decider"

[bvar22]

38. My take also, Oscelot.

This is way different than a group of guys getting together and farting.
This is a psycho forcing underlings to submit.
It is a statment that,"If you are going to work here, I will FORCE you to smell my SHIT, and YOU WILL do it!"

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Hey, he's a class act. Listen to him speak. Watch his actions in public

it all fits.

He's a perfect fool.

[MuseRider]

15. Reminds me of LBJ. n/t

[CTyankee]

23. LBJ was a lot more intelligent

but he just got too far out on Vietnam, which was his deserved downfall. But his vision for a Great Society was a good one and I give him credit for that.

[Wetzelbill]

31. yes, and LBJ

was devastated by that war, it probably killed him. As flawed as he was LBJ had some redeeming qualities. I'm not sure if Bush has any at all.

[MuseRider]

36. Very true

I was really only thinking of his personal habits.

[spanone]

18. he's a smartass. plain & simple.

[Kierkegaard]

39. Sure. He's a smartass

in a condescending, self-righteous, bullying, arrogant, shifty-eyed, asshole-y kind of way.

[ThomWV]

19. But If I Ever Met Him I'd Fart In His Face, Wouldn't You?

Actually I'd shit on his foot given a chance, but then I'm not the President so I can do stuff like that.

[Imagevision]

27. I agree, it makes Bush even more dispicable then what we already know

[Ron Green]

28. I was in a room with * before he was Governor of Texas,

and I knew at that time what sort of person he is. Entitled to special treatment because of his family connections, and deeply insecure at the same time, precisely due to the lack of any personal achievement on his own part. It plays out as that self-effacing, "hail fellow, well met" kind of frat-boy shucking and jiving, which works OK up to about the junior executive level but is absolutely criminal in the job in which he's been installed.

[KT2000]

55. He is unqualified to be president

and that has not changed since day one.

[arewenotdemo]

56. that description seems dead-on

[damntexdem]

29. The answer, my friend, ...

is BREAKING in the wind.

[SunDrop23]

30. I could have gone my whole life not knowing he was in the White House.nfm

[Wetzelbill]

32. true dat

:)

[Kurovski]

33. But,but,but!!!

He's "just like us!"

God's in the White House, and god does as God see's fit.

Gol, WB, do I have to explain EVERYTHING!??

[Wetzelbill]

35. well, he is the kind of guy I would just like to have a beer with

:puke:

So I'm sure you wouldn't mind having a beer with that dog shooter Howard Dean.... :)

[Kurovski]

49. Which reminds me...

thank goodness Bush would never stoop so low as to murder an innocent, imaginary dog. :hi:

[tlsmith1963]

34. He's an Embarrassment

And to think that we're going to have this immature fool around for *eight years* altogether! Impeach him, *puleeze*!:puke: :puke: :puke:

Tammy

[izzie]

37. Well I would not tell any one I voted for him if I had. Screw ball.

--

[Marrak]

40. Worst...

fart ever:nuke:

[degreesofgray]

41. His presidency stinks

worse than his farts

[onethatcares]

42. if you were buying an automobile,

a dishwasher, an ac unit and the person doing the presentation did that, would you buy from him? Personally, I don't care what someone does among his own family, but in my space, that don't fly.

[pitohui]

43. the stink bomb presidency

he and his good buddy new orleans mayor ray nagin seem to be in a contest to prove who can play the bigger idiot

nagin is giving is it a good run but * is way out in front in this horse race

nagin's tacky crack about the world trade center is already forgotten in light of *'s "stink bomb" revelation

[Wetzelbill]

46. shameless kick

:)

[The Backlash Cometh]

51. This is just not normal.

There is nothing normal about this. Who farts around new hires? This is completely unacceptable behavior in any other business. No wonder this guys thinks he can force himself on everybody.

[beam me up scottie]

53. But he brought dignity back to the White House.

Didn't he?

Spot on, WB, this factoid was WAY too much to process.

I may need more medication.

[tblue37]

54. And yet the evidence is that his young aides think he

walks on water.

Maybe he uses the farts like an outboard motor to get around on the water he walks on.

If you think about it, though, that's exactly how it works. He farts all over the common people who keep voting for him, and yet they still worship him.

[agincourt]

57. I keep waiting for him,

To fill his pants at some summit meeting and shuck and hee-haw like it were the funniest thing anybody did see.

[upi402]

58. "What ever made anybody think this guy would be anything other than a dis"

the corporate media and those dripping with cash tv ads.

[Unbowed]

61. Such class.

Maybe he'll take up smoking. We can only hope.
