Presidents should not use swear words Sunday, July 30, 2006
President Bush has caught a lot of flak lately. In spite of that, I’ve defended most of his actions. Not anymore.
When I was 9, I picked up the fourletter "s" word from a young friend, being careful not to say it within earshot of Mom. But one day I slipped up, and I still remember that physical rebuke.
Apparently, Bush slipped up similarly before an open mike ("Foreigners fleeing Lebanon," Associated Press article, July 18).
A president who uses that word in ordinary conversation is no longer a good leader in my eyes.
I can’t imagine Ronald Reagan using that word. It’s childish.

LOL! Reagan used a lot of bad words. This sounds like lefty propaganda work.

Remember what the moral one, Jimmy Carter said about Ted Kennedy: "I'm going to beat his ass."
And he made sure that it was published for all to read, too.

Good grief Francis, grow up.
This paper must be desparate for letters to the ed to publish this tripe.

Just wondering what this idiot thinks about a president who is a rapist and a serial adulterer.

I suspect Morrison never supported GW in anything. This is a DU tactic - and they're the most foul-keyboarded people on the planet, if you've ever ventured in there.

"A president who uses that word in ordinary conversation is no longer a good leader in my eyes." Nice criteria there, Francis.

I thought that in Texas, "s**t" was not a swear word, but rather the standard technical term for the substance in question.

Of course some presidents
become swear words.
When I caught my kids lying I'd tell them to "Stop being a Clinton".
