Bush loves fart jokes, says U.S. News

So, what's all this I hear about "cutting and running"?* (US News via (Kos)):

[Busshhhh] loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip [!] when explaining why President [Busshhhh] is paranoid around women, always worried about his behavior. But he's still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can't get enough of fart jokes. He's also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides, but forget about getting people to gas about that.

Nice work there, Babs.

And--it would be irresponsible not to speculate--could there have been, erm, a subtext to Merkel's reaction to Bush's spontaneous back rub? Like, if Bush, when He gets nervous... I mean, I don't have to go into detail on this one, do I?

* If that's not a bad case of Winger Projection Syndrome, I don't know what is!

NOTE It really is open season, now, isn't it?
