F-bomb fun

ok, everybody by now knows about Cheney telling Sen. Leahy to fuck himself or fuck off or whatever the final word was on what he actually said. just to prove that fox news is nuts, check out their cavalier coverage.

if i were talking to dick cheney, i'd prolly tell him to go fuck himself. so really, i don't at all disapprove of somebody being honest with their feelings. and its pretty ridiculous that the media has published something like twenty trillion stories on Cheney's f-bomb.

but ya know. considering that Bush and Cheney recruit the church-going crowd, doesn't this seem a bit wreckless? I mean, shouldn't they both be first to show up at Sunday School, if only to demonstrate that they are REAL Christians, instead of the sort of Christian who's not even allowed to take communion from the First Reich?

I'm from the backwoods of KY. I'm visiting there right now. And believe me, many of the people around here, if they followed the news closely enough to hear about the f-bomb controversy, would reconsider their vote for Bush-Cheney over something as silly as this. Now, luckily for Bush-Cheney, there are no other mainstream pro-life pro-death penalty anti-affirmative action candidates out there, so the F-bomb doesn't justify a Kerry or Nader vote to this portion of the electorate. But still, I could easily see these people sitting home on election day in their biblical bliss of voter abstinence.

But maybe these folk, just like my folk, don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
