Bush caught cussin'

I couldn't give a fuck about Bush cussin', but since we're on the topic:

A "word" in itself is not bad. It's the meaning behind it that makes it "bad." The word can mean whatever you want it to mean. There's no such thing as a "bad word."

For instance, if two people are pissed off and one yells "SHIT!" and the other yells "SHOOT!" ... what's the difference? They're expressing the same anger, they're expressing the same feeling with the same intensity ... the word shouldn't make any difference. It's how you say it, why you say, to whom you say it, and the context of the situation you say it in, that makes it mean what it does. But one word or the other isn't bad, in and of themselves.

 

Someone explain this to me: Why is the 'cussing' the story here, instead of the fact that a live mike was recording a private conversation between the president of the US and the British prime minister?

 

What do you think is going through Tony Blair's mind at times like this -- trying to talk Mideast policy with Bush, who's treating him like the help as he launches bread crumbs and bullshit swagger in response?

 

I've heard him on unknown open mike twice.

Twice, he's unloaded an expletive.

I guess we are fortunate he didn't say "fucking Arabs."

 

It's news because the President did it. If the President slurs his words or uses bad grammar, that too is fair game.

If he is a Christian, that it is legitmate to ask why he uses that kind of language.

 

I was thinking pretty much that.

How fucking lowbrow and unenlightening.

 

He's not a real Christian, that's part of the masquerade. He's been asked his favorite bible verse many times and is as blank as can be.

I don't have a problem with him saying "shit," I have a problem with him finding a way, without fail, to humiliate his people at every turn. The cloven-hooved Barbara should have taught this asshole some table manners, among other things.

 

Boy, now there's a superpower worth having. When you sit on the judgement throne, will that video of the panther (or whatever that is) leaping out of the bush be on a big screen behind you?

 

And nobody has jumped on Bush for the more grievous error: misuse of the term irony. Standards are sliping around here.

 

I'm saying the messianic president act is worn like a cheap overcoat. He did it for the votes and you know it.

I have some Christian acts yet to perform on my checklist, so don't be compiling my highlight video just yet.
