Has George W Bush ever used the "F" word?

[kentuck]

I do not think he is a regular, church-going Christian, although I am sure he has his national security reasons. Do people really hate him more than they hated Clinton? And Clinton could be seen coming from church with his Bible in hand. Sinner or not, he did go to church.

But, I recall a report from some time ago where Bush stuck his head into a meeting of some Congressmen or Senators and said the "F" word in regards to Saddam Hussein. This was before the war. I'm certain he has used the word regularly so what's the big deal with running a poll on MSNBC about John Kerry's use of the "F" word?

[virtualobserver]

1. he used it in the Talk magazine interview he gave to Tucker Carlson

multiple times.

[alphafemale]

2. Of course he has. I think there are threads in the Lounge. n/t

[PVnRT]

3. I'm sure he has, just not in public

C'mon, he's an Ivy League frat boy. Just because he's a "Christian" (and I use the term loosely) doesn't mean that he doesn't let fly with the f-bombs when the mood suits him.

4. Yes

Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out.
-George W. Bush, March 2002, as reported in Time.

You no-good fucking son of a bitch, I will never fucking forget what you wrote.
-George W. Bush, to journalist Al Hunt in front of his 4-year old daugher, 1987.

If the Bushies are making a stink about this, it's incumbent on any journalist who has heard, but not reported, our president saying a naughty word or two to report them for, as they say, "balance."

Of course, let's not forget:

"Pussy."
-George W. Bush, 1988, in response to a question about what he and his father are talking about when they're not talking politics.

8. Don't forget the ...

Major League Asshole comment to Cheney during the campaign.

The only thing he was sorry about is that it was reported.

17. Not just "reported", HEARD.

On open mic to Cheney. At a campaign rally/speech.
Can't remember the reporter they were referring to but it went something like:
Bush*: "There's that asshole from the Times."
Cheney: "Yeah, big time." (or major league, something like that)

Dems need to get the tape and run it over and over and over.

[trof]

20. Here it is!

"There's Adam Clymer -- major league asshole -- from the New York Times," Bush said.

"Yeah, big time," returned Cheney.

Because of the crowd noise, few if any of the audience could hear the remarks. But reporters -- especially those with radio or network TV sound equipment plugged into the microphone -- heard the remark clearly. As of early afternoon Monday, media executives were reportedly deciding whether or not to use the tape.

18. OMG! Just found this.

Look closely, it's a mosaic of assholes.
Sweet jeebus.

13. Don't forget Judy Woodruff was there also -

When a drunken junior opened up, "You no-good fucking son of a bitch, I will never fucking forget what you wrote.
-George W. Bush, to journalist Al Hunt in front of his 4-year old daugher, 1987 - in a Mexican restaurant in Dallas. (pp. 73 "Fortunate Son" J.H. Hatfield)

[kentuck]

15. That is why I posted the thread...

How could the media "pretend" that Kerry is the only person to ever use the "F" word? It is incumbent upon them to report the other side of the story in this instance, where they are trying to tear Kerry down for the same offense that Bush has committed several times.

[phillybri]

5. Hell, yeah!

6. Yep

"Saddam? Fuck him, we're taking him out"

7. He doesn't need ...

to go to church. God talks directly to him. Why go to some silly church (where the little people go), when you have a hotline to God.

9. Didn't he confront a journalist in a restaurant in a drunken rage

with was filled with expletives?

Course, that was before his heart was changed.

[tom_paine]

14. Yes, and that Time article quoted him as saying, "Fuck (Saddam)..."

"...we're taking him out," nearly a year before the Iraq Invasion

Which proves, of course, that Emperor Bunnypants hadn't decided whether he wanted to invade Iraq until the inspectors had a chance to do their jobs...

</sarcasm off>

[Bluzmann57]

10. Agreed

people get angry and use bad language from time to time. So whats the big deal? If a person is worried about the kids, just tell them that all people are fallible and sometimes lapse into a state that isn't neccesarily acceptable. One more time. Whats the big deal? Does bush or Kerry or anyone else use it in normal conversation? If so, then I really don't want that individual as president, be he republican or Democrat.

[Gringo]

11. Bush is no Xtian, and he curses a lot

But even an idiot like Bush has the sense to do it strictly off-camera. What the hell was Kerry thinking?

[JohnKleeb]

12. Ask fucking Al Hunt, he fucking knows

Hey Bush fuck you.

[radwriter0555]

16. He and his dad used the "C" word during a conversation on a golf

course once.

While referring to women of course.

[9215]

19. "C" word is just another name for Bush.

:bounce:

[zbdent]

21. Yes. Very early morning, November 2000

when a Florida operative said "I'm looking at a screenful of Gore."

[stoystown]

22. While in the reserves...

"There ain't no fucking way I'm fucking going to fucking Vietnam! Fuck that - - get me more cocaine and PBR!"

[agingdem]

23. I really don't know but...

he personifies and defines it.
