Maybe the asshat who wrote this could develop enough ability to use logic to realize that Bush was being eavesdropped on, not purposely going before cameras to use profanity. Nor was it a live broadcast. Any news station that chose to air the audio uncensored is the party at fault for violating FCC rules, not the president. He didn't know he was being overhead. What a total idiot for this guy to make this apples and oranges argument.

I hope this guy is being intentionally intellectually dishonest and not actually forming what he thinks is a reasonable and logical parrallelism here between the intentional airing of smut and someoen who's conversation is being listened in on. I'd hate to think an actual human being to whom some people give enough credibility to allow him to be published would be this unintentionally stupid.

It wouldn't serve their Bush-bashing agenda to include the fact that President Bush was unaware that his microphone was on,or that it wasn't supposed to be on.

Oh yeah, and it happened in a foreign country too... FCC rules wouldn't have applied.

What about all of that taking God's name in vain that the Clinton's spat out daily?

Bush did not utter a curse word, just not a nice word.

My MIL was a very Godly woman and she used Bush's word liberally.

Bravo. It wasn't exactly a Howard Stern comment, intended to appeal to the prurient.

WTF? Bush was at a publicly reported meeting.

The author's point about the idiocy of the FCC (and, ultimately, the Congresscritters who authorize them) is spot on.
