Bush's Cursing Put In Perspective (And Some Fun Clinton Quotes)

Professor Baindbridge settles everyone down concerning Bush's recent outburst with Tony Blair.

From Professor Bainbridge's Post:

Speaking of finely nuanced views, let's go to the record for some finely nuanced Clinton comments:

"We're not inflicting pain on these fuckers," Mr Clinton declared, going red in the face and pounding his thigh with his fist. "When people kill us, they should be killed in greater numbers. I believe in killing people who try to hurt you, and I can't believe we're being pushed around by these two-bit pricks."

What really gets Clinton angry? A staffer leaked to the press the name of the President's new dog, before the Woof-in-Chief could do it himself. Kurtz captures the moment:

" 'I'd like to know what sorry piece of shit from my staff leaked this,' Clinton barked." -- BLOOPER SCOOPER THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN July 11, 1998

As the troopers see it, Clinton behaved ungratefully and even rudely toward them after Election Day.

"We asked him to autograph pictures for our families," says Jones. "He said, I don't have time for that shit.' Then we brought him babies to kiss. He said he hated babies." -- LIVING WITH BUBBA The New Republic JANUARY 10, 1994 / JANUARY 17, 1994

But who cares? The fun part about the whole Bush cursing thing was that they got it recorded. I don't think anyone actually gives a damn that he said what he did.
