Hang out in my Patrol/Recon squadron's AW or Maintinence shops for a day or so. Amongst the 18-25 year olds there. You'll hear far, far worse. Same if you went to a Marine battalion or an Army unit.

Shoot, hang out at a high school, hidden of course.

"Dirty words" have been used in movies and music for over four decades. Even before that, they were in WIDE use in the military and in certain places (read: everywhere there wasn't recording media). If they actually strike you as so bad, you have lead too sheltered a life.

All of which misses the point: Kid Rock would no more perform that song at an Inaugural Ball than he would go naked camping in ANWR in winter. You are using something he WOULDN'T do to claim he is unfit to be booked for the event, which is nonsensical.

Ewe, I had no idea. Thanks for 'splainin' it all to little 'ol naive me. Where have I bin hidin"????

So that justifies having "dirty words" at this Republican event?

"Shoot, hang out at a high school, hidden of course."

So because the kids are using such vulgarities (hidden of course) we should allow them to listen to it out in the open at an inaugural event? Let's really spice things up and supply them with alcohol, drugs and condoms (other things they use and like to hide). Let it all hang out and get it out in the open. They'll be sure to have a good time and we won't look like 'ol fuddy duddies.

BTW, I was a probation officer for ten years and had the worst section in one of the most crime ridden, politically corrupt cities in America. I walked and biked those streets countless times. There isn't much I haven't seen or heard.
