Euphemisms ~ we use them to soften the impact ~ remember, not everybody in the listening audience likes to hear about somebody else's sex life.

Now I do ~ and the best accounting I ever heard from a professional journalist was her visit to interview Mayor Marion Barry, mayor for life in DC.

She was working for a Buffalo NY paper at the time and she couldn't get it published ~ but she said when she entered the office after a short wait in an anteroom outside, the first thing that caught her attention was that Barry didn't stand up to greet her, and she could see a pair of high heel shows peeking out from under the privacy panel in front ~ and they were attached to LEGS!

I could not help but notice that in the recounting of details in the Petraeus event the woman said she'd done this under the desk herself.

Anyone offended by that recounting of events who thinks maybe your Sunday morning anchor guy ought to tell us, go to it. But now you know what that was about.

"I could not help but notice that in the recounting of details in the Petraeus event the woman said she'd done this under the desk herself."

The solution is clear. Remove all desks from government offices. ;-)
