One wouldn't expect it from the leader of one of the most powerful countries of the world, but former President George Bush once got so wasted at a party that he asked an attractive female friend of the family, "What is sex like after 50?"
He said, in an interview on NBC that his boorish query did not go over so well.
"I mean total silence. And not only silence but like serious daggers," the Daily Mail quoted as telling Matt Lauer in an interview.
"From your mom?" Lauer insisted.
Bush replied, "Yeah. And my wife."
"The interesting thing was her writing me a letter on my 50th birthday, when I was governor of Texas, that read 'Dear Governor: Well, what's the answer?'" he recalled.
The embarrassing episode is revealed in his soon-to-be-released book, 'Decision Points'.
