Executive summary: New York Times major-league asshole Military service: US Army (1961-62) 4 September 2000: During a campaign stop in Naperville, Illinois, Presidential candidate George W. Bush turns to running mate Dick Cheney and says, "There's Adam Clymer, major-league asshole from the New York Times." Cheney responds, "Oh yeah, he is, big-time." Unbeknownst to the men, their comments are transmitted clearly to the television news feed.
Rather than offer a mea culpa to Clymer, Bush later issues this non-apology: "I regret that a private comment I made to the vice-presidential candidate made it onto the public airwaves. I regret everybody heard what I said." Father: Kinsey Clymer (d. 1984)
