``That's beneath John Kerry. . . . No, it's not. Perhaps he could go to Iraq and drop f-bombs on them.

Kerry is not getting this gig, whether he apologizes or not.
He will live to regret using foul language on the record

Dean is mean in an unstable way, Kerry is lashing out in an unstable way, Clark is acting in an unstable way, Hillary is screaching in an unstable way. Sheesh, where's Tipper Gore when we need some pyshicatric help for our citizens.

Meehan noted Bush's caught-on-tape swear about a New York Times reporter, whom Bush called a ``major league (expletive),'' saying Kerry would apologize when Bush does.Uh, that was said in an aside to Dick Cheney near what they thought was an off mike and the remark was about a journalist, not a sitting president.
Also, Dubya was perceived as being right on the money with his comment about Clymer, whereas few would agree that Bush has "screwed" up Iraq, and THAT'S the real problem with Kerry's exhibition of pique.
Kerry displayed poor taste and poor judgement with this utterance.
Another Kerry aide, Stephanie Cutter, said the Rolling Stone comments aren't the first time Kerry has used the obscenity and denied he was trying to appear more hip to the youth-oriented magazine.
``He's said this before, it wasn't any effort to play up to a younger audience,'' Cutter said.
Since we're using salty language, I'll just say B.S.

Poor John-boy.
Whenever politicians try to be "hip", it always fails miserably. That goes for both Dem and Republican.

Next thing you know we will be finding out that ole John can't keep his package wrapped.

You just wait, they'll have John F'in Kerry show up on "South Park" now (if he hasn't already)
"John Kerry has 700 million reasons to be happy and they all have George Washington's picture on them [Teresa's
inherited fortune]...He made his money the old-fashioned way. He MARRIED it..."--Howie Carr (Boston-based, syndicated talk host whose imitation of JFKerry sounds based on Thurston Howell III; he gave Kerry the nickname
"Liveshot" for his tendency to dive in front of a TV
camera the moment he spots one)
Lovey! Lovey! :)

Latest quote from Kerry regarding his use of an obscenity;
I have no plans on making any F**KING apology regarding last week's outburst. DETAILS at 11

There's a sign on the wall at my local bikers' bar (Bimbos) that says "The language you use tells us what you are". Until the owner explained it to us, we all thought it meant that if a person was speaking Chinese it told us that he was a Chinaman.

I don't see what the big deal is. I use the 'F' word all the time, i.e.
"the f'in garage door is broken',
the 'f'in sewer line is hosed, thanks to the 'f'in tree roots..'
or the famous "the neighbors kids just put a big f'in scratch on the truck..'
What's the big deal?

Wasn't it also Kerry who appeared with a heavy-metal rocker on stage who was also using colorful metaphors against Bush? I think John F-in' Kerry is having a mid-life crisis....just in time to get some "youth" votes.

the F word looms everwhere.From a man who would be president speaking to a reporter!
When the Kerry camp tries to rationalize this (I've been hearing it discussed on MSNBC) they really sound lame.

That was the very first piece of news I read this morning. I can't believe he used such a word when he knew he would be quoted. I guess he was trying to appeal to a more hip audience.

The best graffiti I ever saw was in a bar in Houston(Griff's).....It read
"Profanity is the linguistic crutch of the inarticulate MotherF*er"..
It still cracks me up
