Let's have all Senators use Urban Dictionary to vet their potential candidates. Lovely!

(6,386 posts)3. I thought Avenatti had a couple extra F's in that one.
And while it sounds disturbing, I personally think it's important to be clear and call it what it is. Yes, it's disgusting but to reference it as simply a lewd phrase is to make it more acceptable.
This is the same reason that I believe we should not be bleeping out the Access Hollywood tape. I think it's important that we hear consistently that the current president of the united states is comfortable just chit chatting about fucking married women and grabbing them by the pussy. I know it's uncomfortable but anything less to make the reporting less offensive also makes the act less offensive.
I liken this to then CBS started showing film from Vietnam...they brought it to our dinner table overnight at 5:30central time.
And it's the same reason BushCo kept us from seeing the bodies coming home to Dover AFB.
Out of sight/out of mind. Out of earshot/out of mind.
