As with abortion and the "Environment", I believe you'll find that it's the GOP who hands out the Talking Points. Both Bush I and Bush II have used "pussy".
After the interview, Bush made a comment when he thought the microphone was off:"The bastard didn't lay a glove on me." "He makes Lesley Stahl look like a pussy."
Bush later apologized at a South Dakota campaign stop:
"If I had known the microphone was on, I wouldn't have done it."

At the Republican National Convention in 1988, he was asked by a Hartford Courant reporter about what he and his father talked about when they weren't talking about politics."PUSSY," Bush replied.

Are there folks who still believe lines like these delivered from the likes of second and third generation politicians?
