This is the first I heard of GWB dropping the F-bomb o Talk magazine. Not that it didn't happen--but I am skeptical, because if it did, why haven't the Democrats made a bigger deal out of it, even if just to defend their own?

Yeah, I'm wondering too.
Never heard this mentioned before. Wouldn't it have been mentioned?
Particularly in view of the fact that there was a bit of flack about Kerry's use of the word.
Hope somebody can find out for sure.

"This is the first I heard of GWB dropping the F-bomb o Talk magazine."
...that's becayse Talk NEVER interviewed W.
They interviewed TUCKER CARLSON in their September 1999 issue. (Talk has since gone out of biz.)
Best I could find was a partial quote on the web (I replaced the F-bomb with F* in the quote, since FR is a family friendly candidate. Except to little kids. Everyone knows that Republicans want little children to starve.
In front of staff, Bush stood up, grabbed Bullock by the shoulders, pulled him forward, and kissed him. "If you're going to f* me," Bush said, "you'll have to kiss me first."
"They think it's like a high school election, where if you beat up your opponent enough you can win. They've lost their f* minds." -- Bush
Bush enjoys saying what he thinks, and seems liable to at any moment. No presidential candidate can afford to be too candid -- "He used to say 'f*' a lot more before this all started," says one of his advisers -- but after five years as governor Bush still has the capacity to surprise.
Bush doesn't even wait for me to finish the question. "I don't care. I really don't care. Does anyone ever say 'F* you'? I don't care if they do," he barks.
In other words, there is no Bush quote, it's hearsay about how Bush talks in friends.
The lefties have liked to spin this into a "See, Bush cursed too!" type situation. They are totally off, though - Kerry dropped the F bomb on multiple campaign appearances and on television... Bush drops the F bomb around trusted friends once in a while, and he certainly wouldn't be the first president to do so!
Kerry took campaigning to a new low, however. I can't recall any other major political candidate for President EVER dropping the F bomb in public.
