The World's Greatest Deliberative Bowel?

Page thirty-one of Rowan Scarborough's interesting and infuriating book, Sabotage: America's Enemies Within the CIA, gives us a peek behind the scenes at the Senate Intelligence Committee in late 2003 as chairman Pat Roberts from Kansas and the top-ranking Democrat Jay Rockefeller lead an investigation into whether pre-war intelligence had been manipulated by the Bush administration:

Rockefeller would sometimes sink to locker-room chitchat, bringing up his bowel movements in closed committee meetings. "I just had the most magnificent shit," he remarked one day to Roberts as the session was about to begin.

Nice to know that even uber-wealthy elites like Rockefeller still take pride in their daily business.
