Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I heard it either. I'm giving more and more thought to moving to England, where they swear on TV and men's magazines have nipples in them.

I don't think the badness of the word is the whole issue though, is it? Wouldn't there have been a story just as well if he'd called the guy "stupidhead"?

I remember that little flap. I gave it the 'so fuck*ng what' pass I'm giving this one.

But...

Awesome

I wonder how many people would have their mind blown by that if it went wider.

Uh, I got no problem with talking about a little sumpin sumpin.  But with your Dad?  I mean, what's he going to tell you about, your Mom?  shudder.

So that's why Dubya was always going on about Merkins.

Yeah but only because that would have sounded dumb.

I mean I picked up the link pretty randomly, is it really make the evening news? Has Glenn Beck blown a gasket over it?

Dubya's quote

See, this fits in nicely with my personal theory that he was just a normal, relatively likable guy who became president.

The problem is that normal people cannot be presidents.

Y'know, likeability and bank balance are not correlated.  I've met some poor assholes, and some nice rich folks.  For damn sure, there are some perfect princes of fellows who would make terrible presidents.

The way things are going now, I'm thinking it would be interesting if there was a lottery for candidates. At least for State Assembly and Federal Representatives.  All registered voters would be the qualifying pool.  We select from among them.

Maybe someone who was richer than God from birth can be likable, sure.

Normal, though?

Replace "normal, relatively likable guy" with "frat boy who has never been disciplined for wrongdoing of any scale or scope in his life" and you have my take on it.

Whenever I read or see examples of Dubya as a young man, he just seems like an average (wealth notwithstanding) guy who liked to party and be around people. A guy who would laugh in your face if you told him that he would be president someday. He had none of his father's civic-mindedness, or perceived duty to public service and was most definitely spoiled.

I'm not saying that the man had/has zero personal defects, those have been amply demonstrated. I just think Young George was a guy I could have had a beer with.
