The real reason they call him 'Whistle Ass.'
No link for this, but I found it interesting, in a very high-school-grossout kind of way. From an interview with Lloyd Grove in Washington Life:
LG: Well, let me tell you about something The Washington Post wouldn't let me print. About halfway through the general election campaign of 2000, I got word or shall I say, got wind of the fact that George W. Bush thought it was funny to punctuate a joke by breaking wind in groups of people. I first heard a story that during the campaign he called a new desk aide of Karl Rove's into his office to give him an "Austin Welcome". WL: Oh, you're kidding.
LG: And this story got some circulation. It finally got to the point where Ari Fleischer was calling to deny it up and down, after some rather non-denial denials from the principal himself. And then later on, he was doing an interview on the plane with a news-magazine reporter where he ended up adjusting the air nozzle on the plane. He said he had just broken wind and that part is off the record. That never made print. But later on, UPI reported that during one of those secret energy meetings that Cheney hosted, Bush joked that perhaps his own natural gas was meant to be harnessed to solve the energy problem.
WL: Why wouldn't they print it? Did you have back up witnesses?
LG: Oh, I was confident it was publishable. I had multiple witnesses to various behaviors. I'd assume they thought it was pushing the envelope a little too far and I can't quarrel with that.
'Honor and dignity,' eh? Right.

As much as I despise Bush with every fiber of my being, I find this story a bit hard to swallow.

I always thought Dubya was a bit of a stinker...

Gee, what's so hard to understand? This guy LOVES to show people his ass. Do you really have any doubt at all that Bx was the first President in US history to MOON a country (Iraq) out of the window of Air Force One?
I bet that Bx's nether cheeks have been on all the windows in the White House he can reach, and some that he had to have Colin Powell and two Secret Service agents help hoist him up to.
The man is the ultimate in ugly Americanism. He attacks the French and then sneers while he pours the most expensive champagne in the White House cellars down his throat without a glass.
Did you hear about him nudging the press over the marble breasts on a Venus de Milo at the Hermitage in Moscow? Or about his drinking from a bottle at a Canadian banquet, when crystal was provided? Or did you see him with his legs spread as wide as possible, while giving a news conference with an obviously embarrassed Kofi Annan? Or how about his 'Won't answer any questions in French, English or Mexican' comment to the assembled Panamerican leaders in Ottawa Feb 01? There is a whole list of these stories of his boorishness. What about criticizing a Paris CNN reporter for asking Chirac a question in French? He's a pig.

Metropolitan99,
Don't you mean it just doesn't smell right?

I believe it. Fits right in with the drunken, whore-chasing frat boy mentality. He suffers from arrested development.

It stings my eyes, breathless for the moment, all my senses gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, from the intensity
Bush in the wind, all they smell is Bush in the wind.
Shamefully long, he breaks wind madly and laughs gleefully
All we do, crumbles to the ground, while we gag endlessly
Bush in the wind, all we smell is Bush in the wind
[Now] Please hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all his money won't another minute buy.
Bush in the wind, all we smell is Bush in the wind
Bush in the wind, everything is Bush in the wind
Bush in the wind, all we smell is Bush in the wind

Hey, I hate the living krap out of the Unelected Dumbass Fratboy Scion Fraud as much as anyone, but what can I say, I think fart jokes are funny.
