Sorry to ask such an unsavory question...

[Lautremont]

but is it not true that bush likes to fart on people? I'm not joking! I remember reading it in an article linked to DU some months ago, but I can't find it now. Does anyone remember? I'd like the facts, such as they may be, available for any arguments about the shrub's total lack of statesmanlike carriage.

2. I'm too lazy to track down a link or anything, but yes he does.

I think it's another power play/bullying technique - "I can do this but you can't".

3. ...and jokes.

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.

4. Well, I have heard that he gets a kick from farting

in the presence of others. After all he is juvenile and this behavior isn't out of line for him.

However, him farting DIRECTLY ON people is something I haven't heard yet. But I hope I do!

Morell first treated Hitler in the mid-1930s for stomach cramps and his success in suppressing them made Hitler absurdly reliant on Morell's subsequent diagnoses and prescriptions. Morell provided his own patent medicines for Hitler's stomach problems, pills and potions that Martin Bormann, for one, believed were slowly poisoning the Führer. Morell was dosing Hitler with his own make of "anti-gas" pills (to combat Hitler's flatulence), sometimes giving him up to 16 pills a day, pills which contained strychnine, moreover, and there is strong evidence to believe that Hitler was actually succumbing to persistent strychnine poisoning. His sallow skin, his glaucous eyes and his attention lapses all point to a form of toxaemia. However, for one reason or another, Morell seemed to be able to fix Hitler's problems speedily.

7. 'His sallow skin, his glaucous eyes and his attention lapses'

Wow.

9. I think we're on to something here.

Perhaps the bush bunch secretly brought Hitler's doctor over to treat their windy scion.

18. Colon Bowell was totally grossed out by Commander AWOL's stink

8. His mother was responsible for a big stinker, too.

[endarkenment]

10. Which is why he is referred to as Mr. Stinky!

Our president has the maturity of a 8-12 year old boy. Not just stupid: rude, immature, and stupid.

[Jackpine Radical]

11. Not an easy trait

to just blow off.

[WI_DEM]

12. I've heard that too and here is an anecdote I heard

that the Secret Service hates getting into an elevator with Bush because he breaks wind almost every time--and then just snickers and says something like, "Smells like a rose, don't it?" but of course the poor guys do have to get into an elevator with the fool.

13. Who would doubt it?
