Do stories like this give aid and comfort to the enemy?

Question

"Animal House in the West Wing

He loves to cuss, gets a jolly when a mountain biker wipes out trying to keep up with him, and now we're learning that the first frat boy loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip when explaining why President Bush is paranoid around women, always worried about his behavior. But he's still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can't get enough of fart jokes. He's also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides, but forget about getting people to gas about that."

I should have been more specific. By enemy I mean terrorists. Do stories like this help the terrorists.

Battle-Ax you say I forgot to mention the source?? I gave a link to the darn web site. I

Answer 1

If the enemy isn't already taking comfort just watching what Bush does to our laws and our constitution, these stories aren't going to make any difference.

Answer 2

What, the president should be exempt from passing gas?
Should we have his gas passer clinically removed?!
Not even sure that I can consider any of these statements a fact, but I'm pretty sure that the "enemy" isn't benefitting one way or another. I don't think anyone would consider farts, and fart jokes as aid or comfort.

Answer 3

What enemy would that be? Bush's supporters would love him if the article included the part of human flesh he most enjoys barbecued. Everyone else doesn't need more fuel to add to their disgust.

Answer 4

You forgot to mention that was in the washington wispers, only from the rumor mill and most probably taken totally ou of context.
But what does a liberal care about truth unless it fills his consequences.

Answer 5

The enemy could care less.

Answer 6

I think it helps us because they are too bust laughing at him to attack.
