    When Lopez finished his comments, Lightfoot tried to move on without answering him and Lopez insisted that she address his questions. “I think you’re 100% full of s---, is what I think,” Lightfoot responded. Lopez replied, “Well, f--- you then.” Asked at an unrelated news conference earlier this week whether she regrets “using such colorful language,” Lightfoot said the entirety of the conversation went for an hour and a half.

    A British school was blasted Friday after kids as young as 11 were told to shout obscenities during a lesson in swearing. Expletives like the f-word and c-word were written on a blackboard before a teacher explained their meaning to 30 seventh graders. S.t Laurence School in Bradford on Avon, Wilts, claims it was part of a sex and relationship education program to "dispel" the myths of swear words. But parents say they were not consulted by head James Colquhoun about the class and say kids were left "deeply upset."

    Transition: Barack Obama campaigned on a promise to change the partisan tone in Washington. So why did he pick a take-no-prisoners partisan for his chief of staff?The high-level White House selection of fellow Chicagoan Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the sharp-elbowed, foul-mouthed head of the Democrat caucus, doesn't exactly augur well for the kind of noncynical air-freshening Obama voters had hoped for. After Emanuel helped the Democrats win Congress in 2006, he told a gathering of celebrating staffers and campaign workers that Republicans "can go f*** themselves," according to Chicago Tribune reporter Naftali Bendavid in her book, "The Thumpin': How Rahm Emanuel...

    Two women have filed suit against former Charger Junior Seau, seeking financial damages stemming from an alleged incident May 20 at a San Diego bar. The women, both San Diego residents, said in the suit that an “obviously intoxicated” Seau threw two large glasses of a red liquid on them, ruining their clothing and evening. Their suit also said Seau uttered “repeated female-specific profanities” about their bodies.

    WASHINGTON (Dow Jones) -- The Federal Communications Commission has been asked by about two dozen people to impose financial penalties in connection with television and radio broadcasts in which President Bush was heard swearing at the G-8 summit in July. Bush apparently thought a microphone was off last month while he was speaking with Prime Minister Tony Blair. While discussing political tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, Bush used the word shit. His comments came just four months after federal regulators said that the word was one of the most vulgar, graphic and explicit words relating to excretory activity in the...

    Earlier this month, the Drudge Report revealed that the official 'Kerry For President' website was riddled with obscenities. A top campaign spokeman offered the outrageous explanation that a "virus" had caused the profanity to be peppered over hundreds of pages. But it was quite interesting that the "virus" just happened to sprinkle the offenses into the website's content in a grammatically-correct way. The campaign stated that the website would be cleaned up, and the offending words were replaced with asterisks. Now, a Google search of Democrats.org, the official website of the Democratic National Committee reveals that Kerry's site is not...
