Bush's Fart-Joke Legacy
Timothy Noah
Bob Woodward reports in his new book, State of Denial, that President Bush loves to swap fart jokes with Karl Rove. Before a morning senior staff meeting in 2005, Woodward reports, Bush schemed to have Rove sit in a chair that triggered some sort of high-tech whoopee cushion activated by remote control. The prank was postponed in deference to news of the al-Qaida bombings in London. When the gag was carried out two weeks later, the room erupted in riotous laughter while Rove hunted down the culprit.
Perhaps you are puzzled that the president of the United States would embrace so eagerly a genre of humor that the typical male Homo sapiens stops finding irresistible around the age of 12. But Woodward is not the first to report on Bush's fondness for fart jokes, and Bush is not the first member of his family to display this particular affliction.

Why is this a problem? Doesn't compare to LBJ's "bathroom humor" :-*
I like the idea what we have a president who loves sports and tells fart jokes.
-
Bush 4 President!
-
Aren't you a republican Willco?
-
Yep. Never voted for Bush, though.
-
Who would? Honestly? lolz
I think Willco is one of the OLD REPUBLICANS that believed in Star Wars, Cowboy Movie Actors, and $$$
-
I'm not a big fan of Reaganomics either.
I'm a registered Republican because I lean more conservatively on several issues, where I expect personal responsibility in society, but as a result I can be liberal on a lot of issues, since I think that should come with personal freedom.
The real issue is that I would be an Independent, but Maryland wouldn't let you vote in the primaries unless you were a registered jackass or elephant. And the Democrats are an absolutely worthless party that has no ability to help my life, so I decided to choose the party I felt had the best opportunity to make a positive impact for me.
-
Democrats arent so great lately :( Republicans are big jerks :(
-
That's why we should vote a comedian for President lolz man of the year in theatres everywhere lolz
-
Willco is just a cool and humorous Republican. I think all Republicans would be aight if they had a sense of humor, unfortunately most of them are pretty much as dry as Lohans crotch.
-
Willco is the poorest republican I know who's not Christian
-
How am I poor?
-
How am I poor?
lolz can't afford a wedding
-
Phoenix Dark cant afford a winning personality, so I suppose that makes things even.
-
shit:lol
-
Why would I want to get married?
-
so jesus won't get mad when you put your tooter in her sinnin' slot
-
Willco: The Wedding Gifts. You get some AWESOME SHIT if you do it right. You and crystal could run a scam where you get married once a year like a birthday.
-
Dude, in Chinese tradition, my family and I have to pay out the butthole for the bride. I'll be in debt!
-
Why would I want to get married?
To get off the down low

What kind of sense of humor should a head of state ideally have? Does your idea change depending on the country/etc?
The article poo-poos the idea that Bush's fart jokes are part of his connection to the common man by saying fart jokes aren't popular in Texas (huh?), or to anyone older than 12 (wha?)--but isn't the appeal of such low-brow and easy humor is its universal-ness? I'm not all about fart jokes, but someone who can't appreciate them has got to have a stick up their ass; farts are legitimately funny.

Well I don't care if you're satified by that but he's a pretty incompetent dipshit.
-
And yet still more successful than you in every arena of life. I guess your only solution is to hold in your farts until you explode.

That's factually incorrect and not even funny or acerbic. But you said "shit" so at least that's somewhat on-topic.

He's satisfied failing at causes of high moral value, which is what skill-less morons do.

Make more sense or I'll just move on.

He can't survive by himself. He needs mommy & daddy.

Same can be said for you. Oh well.

Yes but I don't expect somebody running for president being that dependant.
-
Erm, he's done running. He's won over the masses TWICE.
:-\

Yeah and Marie Antoinette loved cake. That makes no sense.

Actually, she was fine with letting her people eat moldy bread. BECAUSE SHE WAS A STOOPID WHORE.
There we go. ;)

As Shake points out, he got the Presidency the second time, and explicitly w/o his parents' help. So your point misses again.

I do that sometimes. :)

His parents gave him money to live and have a roof over his head. I didn't say how likable he is. Your religious views seem to help your votes a lot.

Eating cake helps me sleep at night, until my socks become dry again. :'(

Actually at that point the American people gave him the money to live and the roof over his head.
How are you arguing he isn't successful? Protip: you aren't.

You wanted to know how he won the second time, I explained that. This came from you not liking people disagreeing with his sense of humor (much less morals, logic, and hindsight) so why would you expect this to make sense?
-
You're back to making no sense. Can't get fooled again.

You're a sheep. You have fur, right?
