Remind Me Again How This Guy Got - Oh Wait, He Wasn't Elected

[queerbychoice]

Ten years ago, at the 1988 Republican Convention, Hartford Courant associate editor David Fink struck up a conversation with George W. "When you're not talking politics," Fink asked the vice president's son, "what do you and [your father] talk about?"

"Pussy," George W. replied.

So now half my brain is trying to imagine exactly how those conversations go, while the other half is trying desperately not to imagine it.

I went to Birmingham Pride at the weekend, and while I was there, spotted a tin with a picture of your lovely President on it, and the words "my daddy won me this election, and all I got was this lousy war" (or words to that effect) on it.

It pleased me greatly.

What's wrong with talking about pussy? (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=cat&btnG=Search)

If I really thought he meant his cat, nothing would be . . .

Ew! Don't do that to my brain again, Gayle! Damn!

Maybe he was calling the interviewer a pussy.

Actually, that also sounds like it would be in character for him.

Oh my gosh, that's the funniest and most disturbing thing I've read all morning.

That is a despicable comment, but I think presidents should be evaluated in terms of how well they do their job.

Jesus, how does that conversation go?

"Yup, son, your mother can ride the pole like no one I've ever known."

*shudders and wanders off to find some steel wool to scrub out her brain*

A shame this didn't come out when he was basing his campaign on restoring dignity to the White House after Clinton's whole sex thing.

Actually, the odd thing is that it did come out then - the article it was printed in came out during the 2000 election, not the current one. Apparently nobody cared.
