Interesting interview with president Bush, who shares White House trivia such as Condi's farts in the Oval Office, but offers little in terms of apologies or contrition for his performance in the past eight years. Look forward to reading the complete interview when it becomes available online.

I'm with Condi on this . Cheney has to be the one who farted, nobody can get a snear on their face like that without letting one go.

In an Oval office, does the smell go circurlar.
