Seems like there is some uncertainty about what was said.

    But Leahy handled the 'rage and pessimism' quite well.



    The best thing is what sparked it . . . Leahy said Hi.



    This VP

    I don't think that's accurate.

    I think that a certain Ms. O'Brien should be consulted as to whether the V.P. would react like that.

    Well, it certainly seems like he did say it. I have to say that I think its exceptionally inappropriate. I almost wonder if something like that would give Bush another excuse to dump him.

    Funny, conservatives were in an uproar when Kerry used the f-bomb. Didn't you support the following sentiment at the time:



    Oh [expletive deleted]! What the [expletive deleted] should I get for Wesley Clark and John Kerry? Of course, several bars of fine French-milled soap to wash out their dirty mouths.



    --Oliver North



    ...when a man who runs for president deliberately uses the f-word in an interview with a national magazine, it is cause for concern. Nearly all non-liberals and even some liberals would regard such a person as one who has a different understanding of what preserves our civilization.



    [...]



    If you are a Democrat and it troubles you that...Senator Kerry uses the f-word in a magazine interview, you might want to reconsider your party affiliation. The Democratic Party has earned a reputation as a poor defender of our civilization against external threats. In fact, it has become a poor defender of our civilization.



    Period.



    --Dennis Prager



    People are registering shock at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's profanity in an interview for Rolling Stone magazine. But why should this shock anyone? In recent times, crudeness has virtually become a rite of passage for Democratic presidential candidates (and presidents).



    --David Limbaugh



    That's beneath John Kerry. I'm very disappointed that he would use that kind of language. I'm hoping that he's apologizing at least to himself, because that's not the John Kerry that I know



    --Andrew Card



    ...another sign of desperation from a dying campaign.



    --Michael Medved



    Certainly Mr. Kerry set a new low for American presidential contests when he used the F-word in regards to Mr. Bush in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

    I don't know... a lot of those guys are assholes I suspect, but we don't hear about them stepping out of line like this. Maybe he's an asshole on Monday, Wednesday and Friday... and a Total Douche Bag on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That would explain it if you ask me.

    Those quotes sound nothing like an uproar to me. Oliver North appears to be making a joke about it even. Dennis Prager says simply, if you don't like it, then leave the party. David Limbaugh registers sarcasm, not outrage, etc, etc.



    Try harder... I'm trying too, to care about this... still trying... still trying...nope.



    Also some secondary issues to consider, first Kerry is running for president and said the words on the record. Cheney is the vice-president and said the words in the chamber while no official business was occuring. Cheney was not on the record, being interviewed or anything other such business. He spoke it toward someone he was ticked off at, just as you might to me.

    You cared enough when Kerry cursed that you started a thread about it.

    Score.



    Cheney "spoke it towards someone he was ticked off at." And by his own admission, Kerry spoke it of someone he was similarly ticked off at-- "frustrated with" to be exact. Amazing how quickly opinions change.

    But his post certainly didn't make a big deal out of the fact that he said "fuck."



    He just implied it was inappropriate for the forum it was used in. Not that I agree, but it doesn't seem like he made a big deal of that f-bomb either.

    Yes, so lets look at what I said in that thread.



    Quote:

    I don't doubt for a second that all the other candidates can curse and have as well. It just seems odd for a presidential contender to let this roll on out in a magazine. I guess it goes with riding the motorcycle.



    Quote:

    I know it was Rolling Stone. That's why he was on the cover tongue kissing Eddie Vedder.



    Quote:

    Who said it was some sort of major issue for me? No one said everything I post to AI/AO has to make or break the planet. It was just interesting so I stuck it up here.



    Wow, don't I sound so... OUTRAGED?!?

    And ol'young Shawnie boy, you are welcome to show how my opinion changed at all. I am quite consistant.

    All i can say is the American tax payer has been milked by both Bush and Cheney, swearing has little to do with how these guys have spent our money. the money blown in Iraq could have done much for Americans, healthcare ,space program, research......instead we get the bill to remove saddam and bin laden is roaming. I would be swearing to if i was Cheney
