We know that President Bush has a potty mouth and a fetish for groping foreign leaders. Now, thanks to U.S. News & World Report, we also learn that he loves nothing more than a good fart joke:

He loves to cuss, gets a jolly when a mountain biker wipes out trying to keep up with him, and now we're learning that the first frat boy loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip when explaining why President Bush is paranoid around women, always worried about his behavior. But he's still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can't get enough of fart jokes. He's also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides, but forget about getting people to gas about that.

It's not the first account of Bush's fondness for flatulence. Back in 2001, UPI's Capital Comment served up this illuminating anecdote:

A source tells UPI the president ended a recent energy policy meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney and others by jokingly offering his own personal stores of 'natural gas' to help alleviate the energy crisis.

So much for honor and dignity. Next thing you know, Bush will be telling his own version of The Aristocrats during his State of the Union address.
