I’m fine with “Potty Mouth”, as sometimes it’s warranted.
For that POS, it was warranted. Would have sent her into a rage, which would have been perfect and knocked her off her self-righteous horse.
Some battles call for heavy weaponry. That one sure did, but that idiot man sat there and took it.
To each their own.
I have to respectfully disagree, at least up to a point, FRiend Hale.
There’s really no place for foul language in a public meeting.
As a professional wordsmith, I can think of any number of forceful responses to Buchanan’s abusive remarks that would have gotten the job done without resorting to profanity.
As I stated in my earlier posts, I covered hundreds of public meetings over my many years as a newspaperman. I never witnessed anything this deranged.
However, I definitely knew some mayors and council members who would have put Buchanan in her place in short order.
In particular, one mayor — oddly enough an old-fashioned Democrat — had a marvelous ability to keep things calm by simply raising his pencil and calling for order in a measured but firm tone.
Who would have thought an ordinary number-two pencil could become a symbol of authority?
I even did a lighthearted column on this: “When Mayor xxxx points his pencil at you, you’d best pay attention.” He took it in good spirits.
