Maybe I'm a prude, but the way crass discourse has been making its way into allegedly "mainstream" publications and articles is yet another sign of our society's decline. A prominent Republican supporter of Bush should not be quoted in an interview calling an endorsement a "kick in the balls" and Politico shouldn't quote it. But both want to be macho and edgy so they do.
“Bush machine running on fumes”........
No, it’s running on hot air and has been from some time. My thinks it is about to run out of steam very soon.
