Bob McDonnell, the normally-disciplined Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, mistakenly blurted out the F-bomb during a live radio interview on Friday.

Appearing on Washington-area radio station WTOP, McDonnell was sparring with host Mark Plotkin on the topic of transportation funding.

Better to say f*** than to constantly do it to the taxpayer.

I find this hard to believe, so I’ll have to hear it to believe it.

[txroadkill]

soooo.... CNN is basically reporting that raising taxes make conservatives swear.

What next, Sky is blue, grass is green?

[Piers-the-Ploughman]

OMG, it’s OVER!/s

“...bang! bang! bang!...” - A CNN bobblehead.

It really sounds like a slip in that context, where he was trying to say funding and the wrong word came out first. And I agree 100% with the second poster on this thread!

[CharlesWayneCT]

I find it harder to believe, knowing it came from Ben Tribbett.

Isn’t that just part of the regular dem vocabulary? If you doubt this, just drop by DU and read a few posts.

I’ve only said it a couple times today.

I agree, the context just doesn’t flow to inject that word there.

So CNN is listening to the radio for stories, while collge girls are going undercover breaking HUGE stories?

Must be proud of yourselves, CNN/s

[GeronL]

Um... liberals are always potty mouths. But they’d never think of reporting it

[maggief]

Any wonder why their ratings are in the toilet?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Yeah, cuz the media nevers goes all profane or anything like that.

[demkicker]

I question whether this even happened and it should be easy enough to verify. It’s just a good reminder that the commie media is ready to play “gotcha” every chance they get.

[tobyhill]

Pimps and hookers have taken over taxpayer’s funded housing and CNN acts as though this one word has just destroyed America.

[mazda77]

Its painfuuly obvious they are desperately desperate. :)

[jennyjenny]

Sometimes, it’s the only word that works.

If the F-bomb is the worst they can find, then that is really, really pathetic.
