The "highlight" of this article is this backrub thing, but notice how quickly they toss in the swearing incident, trying to lump it all in as "Bush's gaffes".
One of the most liberal people I know told me when Bush swore about Syria, it was the first time he really considered Bush president!
I am not surprised by that. The left needs "primitiveness" to show someone is "human." It's like Clinton getting oral sex in the oval office from a lowly female intern half his age. It showed his humanity, how real he was, and therefore how qualified he was to hold his office.
This is the shallowest thinking you can imagine, but it animates the mind and feelings of a liberal.
