Good Morning!

If some enterprising soul chose to Bowdlerize my book, it would then become a short story. Perhaps a paragraph.

CBS should have bowdlerized Tiger Woods’ on-air comments, or at least had a “graphic language” warning on the screen.

Apparently the staff at L.Com were channeling you.

Healthcare: the libs try to bowdlerize
Hoping that we won’t familiarize
Ourselves with the facts
Now Obama attacks
Believing his rhetoric will mesmerize

Barack and Michelle, deeply committed leftists who are deeply ashamed of what they believe to be the egregiously venal nature of American life, have decided to bowdlerize it through Obamacare and executive order before euthanizing it.

What's the opposite of bowdlerize? That's what these derps are attempting to do.

That’s a word I’ve never seen before. Shouldn’t that be spelled bawdlerize. The removal of bawdy words....;)

Bowwowdlerize is what Michelle does to fashion.

Here is my "use the word in a sentence" submission:

"The mainstream press simply bowdlerize(d) Obama's obvious
leftist worldview so that he would be a candidate for President."

Not beautiful, but sure does seem to be a reasonable use of term.
