Damn, I wish the president would swear more. When his private conversation with Tony Blair was picked up yesterday on an open microphone, I was heartened, not shocked. "See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over," Bush said. Lebanon is in flames. Iraq is in chaos. Iran is enriching. Isn't this a time for swearing?
Shouldn't we hope that when he's in private, Bush is throwing around the barnyard epithets? I don't think anyone would have been comforted if his aside to Tony Blair had been about weight lifting or the soufflé they had for lunch. Tony, did you see what Jacques was wearing?
Everyone has fixated on the word sh

You know - the media has made him out to be a buffoon, and the European elites consider him a cowboy - so why are they so shocked that he'd say shit?
Because they don't know shit?
This is going to turn into the SouthPark thread where everyone was saying sht.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em, Down Hezbullies.)
It isn't swearing. Swearing involves an oath (promise) and/or a deity.
Nothing wrong with saying shit. Shit is fascinating. It's one of the few substances that gets less smelly as it gets older.
Merde.
I think it would be refreshing to have a President with a General George Patton mouth.
Okay, it's clear that Rove planned this "gaffe"! ;)
WHO IS JACK SCHITT???
The lineage is finally revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response
when someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt!" Read on and you'll be able
to handle the situation intelligently.
Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer
magnate, married O. Schitt, a partner of Kneedeep & Schitt, Inc.
Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt, and the deeply religious couple begat 6
children: Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the
twins, Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt.
Against her parents' wishes, Deap Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school
dropout.
After 15 years of marriage, Jack & Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later
married a Mr. Sherlock, and out of devotion to her children, decided to
hyphenate her last name, and became Noe Schitt-Sherlock.
Dip Schitt married a woman named Loda Dung, who became Loda Schitt. The
couple produced a nervous son, Chicken Schitt.
Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, inseperable thoughout childhood subsequently
married the Happens brothers. The local newspaper announced the
Schitt-Happens wedding, which was quite an event. The Schitt-Happens
children were Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse.
Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He returned from
his travels with his Italian bride, Piza Schitt.
So, NOW if someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt", you can beg to differ.
You not only know Jack Schitt, but the entire Schitt list!
This author can really write well as "Kofi Annan isn't going to stop the violence with his usual blizzard of gauzy language, excessive deference, and diplomatic bubble wrap." Cussing is most effective when it is a real surprise in an otherwise rich vocabulary.
I think it would be refreshing to have a President with a General George Patton mouth.............
It is reported that Hillery has one.
Boy, this Bush and his potty mouth. He's going to get us in trouble, for sure, with other nations. Man, I yearn for the days when Bill Clinton was leaving his presidue all over a Jewish intern. Now THAT was presidential timber.
LOL!
That is funny!
Shite for you in the Antipodes.
Have you listened to the Nixon Tapes?
It is said that George Washington was never heard to use profanity. I am not convinced that uttering profanities will help the current situation. I do, however, believe that Bush needs to be much more forceful in the presentation of his indignation. Unfortunately the press does not react to emotions unless they are accompanied by four letter words. And then they concentrate on the profanity rather than the target of the emotion. If Bush starts to curse more in public, the press will simply refer to him as a potty mouth.
Bush can't win with the press. The press would gladly allow New York city to evaporate in a nuclear holocaust if it meant Republicans would lose power. Most New Yorkers would apparently agree. They all have the attitude of suicide bombers.
