A Presidential Potty Mouth
IN 25-30 YEARS, we'll be really interested to hear Oval Office audio recordings from the administration of George W. Bush. We think he has the potential to outdo Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson in the use of casual profanity. For someone who calls one of his close advisers Turd Blossom, we can only imagine the more harsh language President Bush throws around when he's in private ... or thinks he's in private. He let the s-word fly during a recent open-mike episode at the G8 conference.

» BABY OBSESSIONS: The idea of celebrity baby blogs made total sense when the world was waiting for the Brangelina baby to be ushered into the world. Now that the trend has died down and you get headlines like "Is Big Brother host Julie Chen pregnant?" you gotta wonder whether baby bloggers might have the worst topic to obsess over.

You won't be hearing any recordings of a sort. That kind of thing stopped after Nixon left office. And have you actually listened to any of the Johnson recordings? Bush has nothing on him in terms of Texan (Connecticut) potty-mouth.

By Velvet , Posted July 17, 2006 5:33 PMI enjoyed watching the video and getting to see Bush and Blair interact in a more casual way. The "S" word? Who cares?
