The latest Republican presidential debate hit on a wide range of issues: Economics, national security, immigration and who threatened to pull their pants down.

After Donald Trump and Jeb Bush squabbled over whose language was more inappropriate, Trump told the crowd that Bush had recently said he could moon a crowd of New Hampshire voters.

"Two days ago he said he would take his pants off and moon everybody," Trump said. "And then he tells me my language was a little bit rough."

Bush suggested that that couldn't possibly be true, but it turns out that this time Trump was right.

Three days before New Hampshire's Feb. 9 primary, Bush couldn't figure out why his campaign was getting so little attention.

“I could drop my pants,” Bush told the Boston Globe, “Moon the whole crowd. Everybody would be aghast, except the press guys would never notice.”

Those press guys noticed this time, at least.
