Bush Calls Iraq Study Group Report "Flaming Turd"

Posted by Jon Ponder at The Pensito Review, clear evidence that Bush never had even a nanosecond of belief he should do anything that the special Baker-Hamilton Commission recommended in its Iraq Study Group report and merely pretended to "weigh the options."

Scatman: What is it with our fratboy-in-chief’s obession with scatalogical slang:

Informed correspondents of the Washington Post and New York Times related in conversation that Bush furiously called the [Iraq Study Group] report “a flaming turd,” but his colorful remark was not published. Perhaps it was apocryphal. Nonetheless, it conveyed the intensity of his hostile rejection.

This is from the same class act whose term of endearment for Karl Rove is “turd blossom.”

Update: EvilPoet reminds us that the president is obsessed with fart jokes.

“He loves to cuss, gets a jolly when a mountain biker wipes out trying to keep up with him, and now we’re learning that the first frat boy loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip when explaining why President Bush 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.”

Bush’s flaming feces quote underscores the fact that he has been planning to escalate the war for months. Nothing — not the elections, not the Iraq Study Group report or anything else — could have stopped him.
