Turd blossom?
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 01:38 PM by Clarkie1
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- It may be President Bush's nickname for key political adviser Karl Rove, but some editors don't think it belongs in their newspapers.

<snip>

The Kansas City Star removed the strip entirely, replacing it with an older one.

"We thought it was in bad taste and probably unclear to a lot of people why we would be using the term," said Steve Shirk, the Star's managing editor/news.

IF THEY THINK IT'S IN BAD TASTE AND "UNCLEAR" WHY THE TERM WOULD BE USED THEN WHY DON'T THEY CALL THE WHITE HOUSE AN ASK FOR AN EXPLANATION?


:shrug: :rofl:

Afraid of the WH...what a surprise.
