"Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of all dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!"

When Barack Obama was running for president, he promised to change the tone in Washington. And what was the tone in Washington at that time? Acrimonious and foul-mouthed, due mostly to the extremely offensive rantings of one Vice President Dick Cheney.
Cheney once memorably told Pat Leahy to, as they say in the newspaper business, "perform an anatomically impossible act." People were scandalized.
This came just several years after Cheney was caught on a hot microphone agreeing with George Bush that the New York Times' Adam Clymer was a "major league" orifice.
So it's disappointing, to say the least, that Joe Biden appears to be following in his predecessor's footsteps by swearing his face off whenever a microphone approaches it.
He was recently caught saying the mother of all swear words, the very worst swear word of all, the one that Dick Cheney said to Pat Leahy only this time in adjectival form and in a friendly tone of voice.
A former Senate colleague greeted Biden at an event in Union Station last Friday as "Mr. Vice President," and the newly minted Veep, never one for formality, told his friend, "Gimme a [adjectival] break." This was all caught on a microphone that Biden apparently assumed was off.
Well, that tears it.
Biden has said many absurd and objectionable things in his long public career, but never has he dropped the King of All Swear Words on a hot microphone when, who knows, maybe impressionable little tots might have heard him.
Do we want this man just a heartbeat away from the presidency? If he says the very worst swear word of all to his friend, just imagine what he'll say to America's enemies.
I know Dick Cheney and you Joe Biden are no Dick Cheney!
Second, having a buffoon like Biden as VP is good entertainment and bad PR for the Dems.
Third, if Biden were to go, I'm sure we would get someone even worse - probably Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank.
Think about it.
--as far as I am concerned, the worst word in American English starts with an "O"--("One Big (Awful)Mistake, America----")--
Oh please, I’m more concerned that’s we’re being ***d than someone useing the F word. I’d take Patten to straighten out the US Mexico Border Problem in a heartbeat, he did have a tour with BlackJack Pershing if I recall my history correctly. Lyndon Johnson wasn’t the most couth guy either, as I’m sure Andrew Jackson wasn’t.
Yeah, cuss them out real bad probably. Maybe even fart in their general direction.
Think about it.
I have.
Clearly the person most qualified to be one heartbeat away from the presidency would be the one who very nearly edged him out in the primaries:
Hillary!™
Contemplate THAT!

Maybe Biden and Rahm are related?

Dems do not resign as one wag just wrote. They prosper when they get caught. Biden is just a dumbed down Harry Truman and Dems love that type of stuff. Now, if Obama thinks that Biden will pull down the ticket nationally and state wise, he could like FDR, change Veeps. So, perhaps BHO will pick a nice female whatever to pick off that voting bloc. But, resign, nope.
And don’t forget Harry Truman. The story goes: Truman used the word “manure” when talking to someone. The press secretary was after Bess Truman to urge him to use the word “fertilizer”. She replied, you don’t know how hard it was just to get him to use the word “manure”.
I think it’s uncouth to cuss all the time but if there is a Patton or Truman that does, I can live with it.
Besides, Cheney didn't call Clymer a "major league" anything! All Dick said in agreement was "BIGTIME!!!"
These people will excuse ANYTHING Demicrats do, "because nothing could possible be worse than the past eight years," according to them!!!
This is pretty much what I say every tome Zero opens his flapping gob.
Dan Quayle is sipping lemonade somewhere and laughing his arse off...
Yes, he’s so smart he speaks in Urdu-European, the language of the Chaldeans, and first spoken to Buddha by Alexander the Great./s
