I'm reading a book about Bush and Cheney, where I found this gem discussing Bush's time as governor of Texas:
Bush courted [Democratic Lieutenant Governor] Bullock and Democratic House Speaker, Pete Laney, at weekly breakfasts and roamed the capitol popping his head into the offices of other lawmakers.
His irreverence worked. Once Bullock declared he was on the opposite side of a bill. "Governor, on this I'm going to have to fuck you," he said.
Bush got up from his chair and leaned over to plant a kiss on Bullock's mouth. "If you are going to fuck me, you've at least got to kiss me first," Bush said playfully. *
