Bush/Cheney and the F-Bomb
http://www.democrats.org/news/200406250019.html
----------------------
snip

Bush drops more F-bombs in interview with fellow conservative: In an interview famous for his mocking a woman on death row, Bush uses the F-word to fellow conservative Tucker Carlson of Talk Magazine.

"What do rich businessmen say when the man they have just given money to tells them that getting rich isn't a noble pursuit? Bush doesn't even wait for me to finish the question. "I don't care. I really don't care. Does anyone ever say 'F—k you'? I don't care if they do," he barks.

"They think it's like a high school election, where if you beat up your opponent enough you can win. They've lost their f—king minds."

Bush uses some…um, colorful language at the Republican National Convention: "Gov. Bush himself has acknowledged some trouble in his past. In statements recalling then-Gov. Clinton's admission to have 'caused pain' in his marriage, Bush has said that he did 'some irresponsible things when I was young and irresponsible,' but that's been about as specific as he's gotten lately. He wasn't always so circumspect about his reputation for womanizing. Ten years ago, at the 1988 Republican Convention, Hartford Courant associate editor David Fink struck up a conversation with George W. 'When you're not talking politics,' Fink asked the vice president's son, 'What do you and talk about?" "P—sy,' George W. replied."

Bush Even Cussed-Out a Newspaper Editor in Front of His 4-Year-Old Daughter - In 1987, Bush ran into Al Hunt, a Wall Street Journal editor who was minding his own business sitting at a restaurant with his wife and 4-year-old daughter. Bush lit into him, saying, among other things, "You no-good f—king son of a b—ch, I will never f—king forget what you wrote." (Hunt had simply predicted that the 1988 Republican ticket would be Kemp/Lugar, instead of Bush/Quayle.) <http://atrios.blogspot.com>

Bush used a bad word in front of CNN's Paul Begala too: "Begala: 'He's cussed me out before. Why is he so — I mean, he's supposed to be this Texas cowboy. Why was he so wigged out about being quoted accurately using bad language?' Carlson: 'Well, I don't know the full answer. I think part of it is that people are always surprised when they hear the way they speak…I liked the guy; I found him charming. I like people who, you know, use the "F" word from time to time. Didn't bother me at all.' Begala: ' Yes. that one with me with an "m" in front of me, as well. And that's fine with me. I don't mind a president with a temper. I wish he had a little higher intellect, perhaps, a little better plan to get us out of the war in Iraq.' "

1. thugs and bullies talk like that, not the leader of the "free world,"
and I use that with reluctance. I expect people to have tempers that are out of control, not a powerful person. This is a civilized country, not barbarians or savages. This administration is an abomination to this country. It's a disgrace to have these foul mouthed punks in the WH dishonoring American values and replacing them with low class speech. Should we all start saying, "God Fuck America?"

2. "It's the hypocrisy stupid"
...should be the new Democrat war cry.

America has fucked itself...God is merely insulted by it all.

3. Here's the new plan.
From now on, whenever they try to paint Dubya as a friend of the working, single mom, someone should just run that quote:

"Ten years ago, at the 1988 Republican Convention, Hartford Courant associate editor David Fink struck up a conversation with George W. 'When you're not talking politics,' Fink asked the vice president's son, 'What do you and talk about?" "Pussy,' George W. replied."

8. Foul language is a substitute for stupidity.
I've always been told that it is a sign of a vocabulary lacking of intelligent words to use. Obviously, * only knows a select few vocabulary words to use to 'sound' intelligent because he uses them over and over again. I might add, he has been known to use some completely fabricated words in describing things, too. The use of foul language is just more proof that GW was also AWOL from Vocabulary classes in grammar school.

9. The context is as creepy as the language.
It is a revealing window into the soul and character of these guys...

This is the best we can come up with to rule the planet?
