I’ll bet George W. Bush didn’t know he was being a folksy character when he called reporter Adam Clymer a major league asshole.
And I’ll bet Dick Cheney didn’t know he was being a folksy vice president when he told Patrick Leahy to fuck himself.

On Tuesday, [Chavez] said the king’s “arrogance” exposed that colonial attitudes toward South America have not died out.
But the folksy president also showed he had a sense of humor over the flap.
When a reporter asked him a series of questions about the raft of constitutional changes expected to be passed in next month’s plebiscite, he joked: “Why don’t you shut up?”
