He referred to himself like this and a certain clique of his friends did likewise. That's completely distinct from me referring to the associate down the hall to other people who work in the office as DouchebagSlave. No offence. That's classless and inappropriate for any workplace (I would probably get fired if mgmt found out) for any employee in a position of authority, or otherwise but more so an authority figure to a subordinate. Even more so for the PotUS, based on the status of the office.
My point isn't to be irritating. You made the statement that it was inappropriate for the POTUS to use profane and insulting language to refer on a regular basis to a member of his government. Yet, Bush regularly refers to Karl Rove as Turd Blossom.

Why is it okay for Bush when it was so highly inappropriate for Clinton?
