    I feel like what he said was fine. What the interpreter said was fucked up.

    But “I came to grope and I ain’t leaving” is pretty on brand for several of our presidents in the last 30 years.

      But “I came to grope and I ain’t leaving”

      Pretty much US foreign policy, if you ask me.

      Wait, several? The most I can think of is 2 (because Bush, as terrible as he was, doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to have this flaw).

          To be honest I don’t know anything about Bush Sr. He’s before my time and doesn’t have as strong a personality to get in by cultural osmosis the way Clinton (who was the first US president I was alive for, but when I was far too young to have any memories of it) does.

          That said, the comment above said the last 30 years. That means Bush Sr isn’t in the running, unless I’ve miscalculated something.
