Hey -- we know he's not talking about the White House cat "India" (I've never even seen him petting her!)
During his campaign, I saw enough to believe that George W. is a mealymouthed guy who is quite nasty in private. My suspicions of this have been confirmed by the numerous reports of how he acts when he thinks he's with like-minded types ... making jokes about prisoners whom he's signed death warrants for, saying crude and unkind things about other people who have done him no real wrong, and using inappropriate familiarity as a way to bully others (nicknames, headlocks, and hair-rubbing).
His insincerity about women, for example ... telling people in private that he thought Yale had made a mistake by going co-ed. But when the camera's on him, it's all "W is for women".
I've worked with (and even dated) guys who had this two-faced approach. Every single one of them, I've had a gut feeling that this person is going to screw up disasterously, blame it on others, and leave a trail of damage that will take years to mend.
Every time so far, I've been right.
p.s. to what an earlier poster said ... I believe that Junior is just nosy and prurient enough to comment on sex, in front of his dad. Whether GHWB would answer him is another matter. Poppy had a major angst attack over whether Bar had dated other guys before him, so it's reasonable that he'd be a bit shy on this topic (as are most people from their generation and social class). But Junior used to make outrageous passes at his mom's friends when he wasn't even in his teens ... and he even pestered a complete stranger, Alexandra Pelosi, about whom she was dating and whether she'd "gone beyond hand-holding" yet.
I bet George W. talks quite freely about sex, if he feels that the listener is sympathetic or too scared to blab about it.
