December 6, 2003 -- Struggling 2004 Democratic wannabe John Kerry fires an X-rated attack at President Bush over Iraq and uses the f-word - highly unusual language for a presidential contender - in a stunning new interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
Sen. Kerry (Mass.) used the undeleted expletive to express his frustration and anger over how the Iraq issue has hurt him because he voted for the war resolution while Democratic front-runner Howard Dean has soared by opposing it.
"I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, 'I'm against everything'? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to f - - - it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did," Kerry told the youth-oriented magazine.
Brookings Institution presidential scholar Stephen Hess said he can't recall another candidate attacking a president with X-rated language in a public interview.
WHAT! What About Bush use of the F word?
Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out. -George W. Bush, March 2002, as reported in Time.
You no-good fucking son of a bitch, I will never fucking forget what you wrote. -George W. Bush, to journalist Al Hunt in front of his 4-year old daugher, 1987.
"Pussy." -George W. Bush, 1988, in response to a question about what he and his father are talking about when they're not talking politics.
This is from a 1999 article. I am posting it becaue the WH hypocrites are dissing Kerry for the ultra true statement that Bush fucked up royally in Iraq.
Bush was also generous in his use of the expletive "fuck," a sure turn-off for Christian-right voters. Conservative syndicated columnist George Will was so disturbed by the Talk profile that he actually did some reporting, reviewing a copy of the Larry King/Tucker interview and finding that Tucker had said nothing similar to what Bush told Carlson. Will wondered what Bush was thinking, or if he was thinking - and asked if Bush has the character to serve as president.
Gary Bauer, one of Bush's rivals in the Republican primaries, called a news conference and handed out copies of the Talk profile, while describing Bush's behavior as "inappropriate, disgusting, and profoundly disturbing." Bauer, whose Family Research Council provides him the strongest Christian credentials in the primary pack, also asked why Bush doesn't know the abortion rate in Texas (which he had also admitted in his interview with Carlson).
